Huang Lin, Liu Yongzhi, Dai Zhiyong, Zhao Yu, and Zhang Qianshu
The generation of nanosecond-scale pulsed laser with stimulated-Brillouin-scattering (SBS) phase conjugation in fiber was investigated theoretically and experimentally. Numerical simulation was performed to study the waveform and the sequence of laser pulse. The obtained waveform is coincident with the curve describingThe generation of nanosecond-scale pulsed laser with stimulated-Brillouin-scattering (SBS) phase conjugation in fiber was investigated theoretically and experimentally. Numerical simulation was performed to study the waveform and the sequence of laser pulse. The obtained waveform is coincident with the curve describing the relationship between reflectivity of SBS phase conjugation mirror and time. The results show that changing Q value in resonant cavity by utilizing SBS phase conjugation is feasible. To investigate the output laser at different lengths of SBS medium, an all-fiber Er3+-doped Q-switched laser was designed. When the length of single-mode-fiber (SMF) is 1.5 m, laser pulse are generated with pulse duration of 2.6 ns, pulse period of 58.23 ns, average output power of 7.35 mW at pump power of 45 mW. When the length of SMF is decreased to 1 m, pulsed laser with remarkable dual-peaks is obtained with pulse period of 26.47 ns. While the length of SMF is increased to 2 m, only irregular stochastic pulsations are observed. Experimental data indicate that the length of SBS medium is vital to the formation of phase conjugation mirror. If it is too long, pulsed laser can not be generated for the lack of fixed conjugation relation between Stokes lines, and on the contrary, dual-peaks laser pulses occur for the change of photon lifetime in orthogonally polarized modes. Once the laser pulses are generated, their characteristics are only correlated with the stochastic characteristics of SBS and the pulse profile maintains constant with the increase of pump power..

It isA reasonable theory is proposed to explain the mechanism of the pulse phenomena in the intra cavity phase modulated all-fiber laser. Based on the self-pulsing theory in fiber laser and the spatial-coupling model in solid state laser, the physical mechanism of pulsed laser generation is investigated and explained. It is hypothesized that there are two perpendicular polarization models in the fiber laser, which are coupled with the spatial-coupling model as the solid state laser theory described. As the phase modulation induces timely change of phase difference between the two coupled perpendicular polarization models, the coupling of the two modes also changes and the pulsed laser is generated. Based on these two hypotheses, a mathematic model was established and qualitative investigation has been done. Simulative analysis a show that the theory agrees well with the experiments..

Furthermore, in the approximations of the exact phase matching, compared with the ideal case, the frequency-doubling efficiency reduced by multi-optical coatings is not more than 6%..

Coupled laser array, which realizes phase locking of elementary lasers with evanescent waves coupling, is a promising scheme to realize coherent beam combination. To reveal the stability of the phase-locked state in the array, the influence of the frequency drift on the phase dynamics of the two-coupled-laser array is Coupled laser array, which realizes phase locking of elementary lasers with evanescent waves coupling, is a promising scheme to realize coherent beam combination. To reveal the stability of the phase-locked state in the array, the influence of the frequency drift on the phase dynamics of the two-coupled-laser array is researched. It is demonstrated that the frequency drift will break up the phase-locked state of the laser array and induce the spatial instability of the far-field intensity due to phase noise. It is also found that although the evanescent coupling between elementary lasers can restrain these effects to some extent, the restrainability is too limited to be effective when the frequency drift is relatively strong. It is suggested that some anti-jamming protections should be applied to the array, especially in the atrocious environment. Furthermore, the phase-locked state of the array is more sensitive to the low-frequency component of the frequency drift. Therefore, the protections should pay more attention to the low-frequency jamming..

The 3ω optics system converts the 1ω beams to the third harmonic, focuses them onto the target and is an important segment influencing beam quality. Based on the B-T theory, increase of beam modulation in 3ω optics was derived under the condition of nonlinear propagation. By the medium-high phase plate constructed according to the surface profile of typical KDP crystals, influence of ∑B3ω on beam near-field quality was investigated. The results show that the fastest increasing frequency and the corresponding fastest increasing factor in 3ω optics system are triple of those of 1ω system, and periods of spatial frequency between 0.1 mm and 1 mm increase fastest. The root-mean-error (RMS) of medium-high frequency aberration has to be less than 1.6 nm to acquire ∑B3ω of 1.5 and 3ω near-field contrast below 1.15..

The self-adjusting compensation is presented in theory. Using the characteristic of Nd-glasses, self-adjusting compensation system for thermal lens focus is designed to weaken the effect of the thermal lens on light pumping glasses heat-capacity lasers.

The supermode distribution of a 7-core fiber laser is calculated by the vector coupled-mode theory, and gain coefficients for different supermodes in different power-levels are calculated. It is shown that in a low power level, gain coefficients for different supermodes almost equal to each other, the far-field laser profile emitted from the multicore fiber laser will give mix-mode character. When the laser output power is in a higher level, the gain coefficient for the in-phase mode is the largest among all the supermodes, which will dominate the mode competition. The far-field laser profile will show in-phase mode character. The validity for the mode filtering by gain structure is discussed..

Evolvement of experimental near-field intensity with the rise of laser intensity in a multiple-pass amplification laserLoad capability has become the bottle-neck in the progress of high-power solid-state laser facility, the research of which is mainly focusing on the interaction process of laser near-field and optics. Evolvement of experimental near-field intensity with the rise of laser intensity in a multiple-pass amplification laser driver has been researched by power spectral density (PSD). It is shown that, the near-field show obvious frequency-related characteristics, and two-dimensional PSD of near-field is isotropic. Modulation of near-field is due to small-scale self-focusing in high-intensity state. Growth of spatial frequency from PSD curve is mainly in the spatial frequency band, which is decided by the cut-off frequency of spatial filter pinhole..

Only the fundamental mode and low-order modes can be generated, and the high-order modes are hard to be generated. Furthermore, the changing process of one frequency restraining another in mode competition is hard to be observed. A novel synthetical demonstration system of laser principle is presented based on a cat-eye cavity laser and the frequency splitting technology. In the system, a cat-eye retroreflector is treated as the cavity mirror of a He-Ne laser. More than ten typical transverse modes including fundamental mode, low-order modes, and high-order modes can be generated by adjusting the distance between two lenses in the retroreflector. In addition, more experiments of fundamental laser characteristics, such as longitudinal mode, laser polarization, and lasing bandwidth, are also carried out. In the condition of fundamental transverse mode, with a quartz crystal plate put in the cavity, laser frequency splitting and frequency difference adjusting can be achieved. Based on it, the dynamic process of mode competition can be observed..
