Thermal and thermal-optical effects in high-power photonic crystal fiber lasers

A series-parallel model is introduced to calculate the effective thermal conductivities of hollow claddings of photonic crystal fibers ( PCFs ). The temperature distribution and thermal-optical properties of PCF lasers are studied by solving the heat transfer equations. The average power scaling of the PCF lasers in respect of the thermal effects is also discussed. (c) 2006 Society of Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers.

Tm-doped fibre laser pumped Cr2+: ZnSe poly-crystal laser

Demonstrations of cw lasing in Cr2+:ZnSe poly-crystal are reported. The laser consists of a 1.7-mm-thick Cr2+:ZnSe poly-crystal disc pumped by a Tm-silica double-clad fibre laser at 2050nm. Using a concave high-reflection mirror with a radius of curvature of 500mm as the rear mirror, the laser delivers up to 1030mW of radiation around 2.367 mu m.

熔制条件对铋酸盐玻璃性质的影响

采用传统的玻璃熔融法制备了组成为60Bi2O3-20B2O3-15SiO2-5La2O3(mol%)的铋酸盐玻璃， 系统研究了不同工艺过程对玻璃性能的影响. 分析了样品ICP的成分，扫描电镜，X-射线衍射谱， 差热分析和紫外-可见-近红外透过光谱测试. 结果表明：使用刚玉坩埚能提高玻璃的抗析晶稳定性 和透过率，陶瓷坩埚和白金坩埚均受到严重腐蚀，玻璃组分也随之发生很大变化. 当熔制温度从1 100 ℃变化到1 300 ℃时，玻璃的颜色从浅黄色变到深红棕色. 尤其是白金粒子被腐蚀进入玻璃液 后，玻璃中很容易形成纳米颗粒或者团聚形成胶体粒子，在玻璃中形成色散源，加深玻璃的颜色， 降低透过率. 1 300 ℃下，白金粒子起到晶核剂的作用，生成Bi2Pt2O7和BiB3O6晶相，导致玻璃失透.

A new method of modeling cladding band structure of air-guiding photonic crystal fibers

Cladding band structure of air-guiding photonic crystal fibers with high air-filling fraction is calculated in terms of fiber shape variation. The fundamental photonic band gap dependence on structure parameters, air-filling fraction and spacing, is also investigated. The numerical results show that the band gap edges shift toward longer wavelength as the air-filling fraction is increased, whereas the relative band gap width increases linearly. For a fixed air-filling fraction, the band gap edges with respect to spacing keep constant. With this method, the simulation results agree well with the reported data. © 2007 Elsevier B.V.
