Ouyang Chunmei, Chai Lu, Hu Minglie, Song Youjian, and Wang Qingyue
A passively mode-locked soliton laser is constructed employing semiconductor saturable absorber mirror (SESAM) as mode-locking regime.

This laser only has single all-solid Yb-doped photonic bandgap fiber (AS-Yb-PBGF). At 1 μm wavelength region, the fiber has anomalous group velocity dispersion (GVD), thus it provides the laser gain and anomalous dispersion simultaneously. In the cavity, the balanced effect between the nonlinear effect and the anomalous GVD offered by the AS-Yb-PBGF can lead to soliton operation. By means of the split-step Fourier method, the dynamics of single-soliton operation in the laser is numerically simulated. At different initial signals the same stable soliton operation is finally obtained. The single-soliton operation with the pulse duration of 125 fs, the pulse energy up to 135 pJ has been shown, and the time-bandwidth product is 0.33 nearly the transform-limited pulse. The pulse repetition rate is up to 500 MHz. At the same time, the dynamics process of the pulse in the cavity is systemically studied..

The differential equations depicting the distribution of pump and Stokes radiations along Raman fiber were simplified to the algebraic equations, and then the approximate solution under different input pump powers by second-order nonlinear method and the threshold expressions was obtained. The second-order solution agrees well with the numerical simulation. On the one hand, the second-order method was more accurate than the linear method and it could provide better guidance to the experimental design in regard to P-doped cascaded Raman fiber lasers for dual-wavelength outputs. On the other hand, the method effectively improves the numerical computational speed, and is superior to general numerical methods..

In order to reduce the jitter time and the size of the laser, gain switching principle is researched. According to the principle, the pumping power density is controled by the power which generates a step current. A Q-switched laser pumped with a ring laser diodes according to gain switching principle is developed. A 30 mJ output energy and about 16ns pulse duration of this kind of passive Q-switching laser are obtained. There is only one set of pupming source to be used in the experiment. Gain step pulse is directly obtained by controling the waveform of current, and the factors which affect the laser pulse jitter are reduced by this way. Statistic reports of multi-measurement indicate that the laser pulse jittering time is less than 1 μs comparing with the trigger signal. According to the measured stability of pre-pumping and the transient power of the step pulse, the jitter time Δτd is calculated, which agrees well with the experimental result..

The formula for the laser crystal width is optimized in corner-pumped configuration to avoid the leakage of the pump light from the crystal pumping corner. When the pumping wavelength is 992.8 nm and the laser crystal of RBL is Yb:KGW with 5% doping concentration, ray trace method is applied to simulate corner-pumped configurations both with and without diffusion technique numerically. According to efficiency and uniformity of pumping light absorption, in the design of both configurations the best pump incident angle is 45° and the best pump total reflection number is 1, but the corner-pumped configuration with diffusion technique is about 20% more efficient than the that without it..

It is found that random laser with coherent feedback occurrs in the LC solutions, while only narrowing spectra phenomenon was observed in isotropic (E-CE)C/AA solution and AA solvent. And the narrowest full-wavelength at half-maximum (FWHM) of laser peak is 0.3 nm. The laser threshold changes from 27 μJ to 20 μJ when the concentration of (E-CE)C/AA solution varies from 35% to 46.5%. This random laser with coherent feedback is related to the multiple scattering resulting from the selected reflection and low diffusion constant in LC solution..

Therefore a real time auto-alignment system is proposBecause of the complicated optic path and many optical components, relative shift of the optic mechanical parts can cause easily optic-axis parallelism departure the normal direction in high power laser launch equipment and multi-axial photoelectric tracking system. Therefore a real time auto-alignment system is proposed. Based on the alignment principle, up and down datum beam is built and paralleled with the axes of the system and the output laser separately by using the path of emitting laser. By using the CCD auto-collimator to measure the angle error of up and down path, signal is controlled to drive the fast steering mirror until the angle error of the two axes is zero. The alignment between emitting laser and the first beam expanding system and the fine alignment between the first beam expanding system and tracking and pointing system can be realized. Eperimental results show that optical-axis parallelism is 5.21″, and the accuracy of close-loop of fast steering mirror is smaller than 5＂..

In this model, the firBased on coupled nonlinear Schrdinger equation (NLSE) and the split-step Fourier method (SSFM), a numerical investigation of the propagation and the switching of fundamental solitons in two-core fiber nonlinear directional coupler (NLDC) with high order coupling dispersion coefficient is present. In this model, the first coupling dispersion is similar to the group velocity mismatch. The second coupling dispersion is similar to the group velocity dispersion (GVD), and it leads to mutual modulation for the other channel. Optical pulses propagate periodically inside fiber coupler and NLDC have sharp switching characteristics when the first order coupling dispersion coefficient is smaller, but the periodicity of the coupling transmission of optical solitons and the sharpness of switching were destroyed by the increase of the first order coupling dispersion coefficient, so optical pulses breakup in the propagation. The second order coupling dispersion coefficient reduce the coupling length, and increase the switching threshold power, as well as make switching characteristics become sharper..

The demodulated results will distort to some extent due to the instability of the parameters in the three outputs of 3×3 couplers including the direct current (DC) component, the fringe visibility of interferometer and the phase difference. A method of measuring the above parameters is given and applied in the computer programming so as to measure the parameters in real-time under large signals, at the same time corresponding demodulation method is also introduced. The computer simulation shows that with the proposed method the appearance of harmonics caused by the instability of the parameters in the three outputs of 3×3 couplers is eliminated. The comparison of the experimentally demodulated results also shows that with the proposed method the harmonics have been reduced and the demodulated results have high correlation coefficients with the reference sensor. Besides, high resolution, dynamic range and linearity of the demodulated results are given in the experiment by using the proposed method..

The effects of the length, position of the fiber that connects the LPFGs on the transmission spectrum of the cascaded LPFG were discussed, and the transmission spectra between the cascaded LPFG and the phase-shifted LPFG were compared. The results show that their spectra have great consistency when the length of the cascading fiber is small or the cascading position is near the end of the cascaded LPFG. But when the cascading fiber is large or the cascading position is in the middle of the cascaded LPFG, the spectra of the cascaded LPFG and the phase-shifted LPFG are different. These results agree well with the two-layered cascaded LPFG. The changes of the film parameters can adjust flexibly the attenuation peak shifts of the spectra and the peak values of the spectra..

The results of numerical calculations show that this kind of focal switch is dependent of the geometric parameter of the optical system δ, and the focal switch effect occurs regardless of whether the δ is 1.0 or not, i.e. the focal switches could occur not only at geometric focus but also at the right or the left of the geometric focus. The influence of beam parameter on the occurrence and the position of focal switches is discussed. The dependence of the relative focal shift on the astigmatic parameter is examined at different geometric parameters of the optical system δ for a particular beam parameter and Fresnel number. The result shows that the occurrence and the position of focal switches can be controlled by changing the beam parameter and astigmatic parameter..

The principles of in-focus position measurement and digital hologram apodization using Tukey-wA apodization method with Tukey-window function for digital hologram of particle-field was presented, whose energy transmission is relatively high and the sidelobe peak is relatively low as well as the sidelobe roll-off rate. The principles of in-focus position measurement and digital hologram apodization using Tukey-window for particle were analyzed. The digital holograms of little monolayer particle-field attached on glass surface were recorded, and the apodized holograms adopting Tukey window were reconstructed. The experimental results show that the reconstructed images after digital holograms apodization do not have black-and-white interference fringe, increase contrast and have more clear particle image. The reconstructed particle image located in the fringe field is nearly submerged by the apodized aperture. With increasing the apodization parameter of the window function, the more accurate position of the particles in-focus can be gained, and the measurement precision of particle in-focus position is improved..

Transmission electron microscope (TEM) was applied to observe the morphology of the Al2O3 particles. Optical microscope (OM) and scanning electron microscope (SEM) were used to observe the morphologies of the coating. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) were employed to analyze the phases and elements of the coating. The changes of micro-hardness before and after laser processing were tested respectively. The results reveal that the strengthened coating has good performances with smooth surface, uniform components and fined microstructure. The phases in strengthened layer obviously changes from amorphous state to crystalline state and the main phase is Ni3P with some non-equilibrium phases. Al2O3 particles are homogeneously dispersed in the grain boundaries, which can greatly improve the material properties. The whole coating is divided into four regions from surface to inner as follows: laser strengthed region, transition zone, heat affected zone (HAZ) and substrate. The microhardness of strengthened region is about 3 times of substrate owing to the dispersion of the Al2O3 particles and the phosphide as strengthening phase..

A serialA new method based on laser ultrasonic was proposed to survey welding stress distributions on the material surface according to the acoustoelastic principle, The high frequency Rayleigh waves excited by the Nd:YAG pulsed laser were used to measure the welding stress and picked up by a nonlinear interferometer. A serial of ultrasonic pulsed signals can be detected by the interferometer through changing the distance between fixed detecting point and ultrasonic source point by the scanning of the laser source. The waveform cross-correlation technique was applied to compute the propagation time delay of the adjacent Rayleigh waves, and the propagation velocity of the Rayleigh waves was obtained, by which the stress value was figured out via acoustoelastic relation. The residual stress distribution can be measured around welded joint while the laser source scans around the welded joint. This experimental installation was utilized to test the welding stress on the surface of a welded aluminum plate and the stress distribution was measured. The experimental results indicate that this method can scan over the specimen surface and measure the welding stress quickly, which make it have potential in the non-destructive evaluation of the surface welding stress distribution..

A 355 nm Nd:YVO4 laser with output power of 8 W and a 1064 nm Nd:YAG laser with output power of 50 W are used for etching the copper clad laminate (CCL) and flexible printed circuit (FPC). The effects of laser process parameters, such as laser power density, repetition rate, laser scanning speed and single pulse energyA 355 nm Nd:YVO4 laser with output power of 8 W and a 1064 nm Nd:YAG laser with output power of 50 W are used for etching the copper clad laminate (CCL) and flexible printed circuit (FPC). The effects of laser process parameters, such as laser power density, repetition rate, laser scanning speed and single pulse energy, on the etching quality of microstructure are studied in detail. The experimental results demonstrate that the lasers within ultraviolet (UV) range needs less power to etch the copper layer entirely and causes less thermal effect, as copper and polymer have higher absorptivity to UV. On the other hand, the infrared laser is suitable for the ablation of copper layer due to its little damage on polymer. The 355 nm UV laser is suitable for the cutting process of the pinted circut board (PCB) because it can make the facile separation of thick polymer substrates quickly..

The temperature distributions of the electron and lattice at the front surface with different laser intensities and pulse widths were discussed. Simultaneously, it is also analyzed that the effect of the electron- lattice coupling coefficient on the change of electron-lattice temperature and the time of electron-lattice coupling to thermal equilibrium. Numerical results show that the laser intensity and pulse width impact significantly on the peak of the electron temperature, and electron lattice temperature rising rate and coupling time are determined by the coupling factor. Eectron temperature and its gradient quickly reach the maximum in a small region near the irradiated surface, corresponding with high hot-electron blast force, which could be a dominating mechanism for mechanical damage at the early stage of ultra-short laser ablation..

Xu Cheng, Dong Hongcheng, Xiao Qiling, Ma Jianyong, Jin Yunxia, and Shao Jianda
Ta2O5 films were prepared on BK7 substrates using electron-beam evaporation (EBE) and ion-beam sputtering (IBS), and the films deposited by EBE were also annealed. The optical properties, laser-induced damage threshold (LIDT), absorption, scattering and root-mean square (RMS) roughness, microdefect density and impurityTa2O5 films were prepared on BK7 substrates using electron-beam evaporation (EBE) and ion-beam sputtering (IBS), and the films deposited by EBE were also annealed. The optical properties, laser-induced damage threshold (LIDT), absorption, scattering and root-mean square (RMS) roughness, microdefect density and impurity content of the prepared films were investigated. The results show that the optical properties of the annealed Ta2O5 films deposited by EBE can be improved near to that by IBS. The LIDT of Ta2O5 films deposited by EBE is lower than that by IBS, which is due to the larger absorption, microdefect density and impurity content and has nothing with the scattering and RMS roughness. The films prepared by EBE after being annealed show lower absorption and microdefect density, and improved LIDT. The LIDT after being annealed is still lower than that by IBS, which can be attributed to that the annealing cannot decrease the impurity content of the films. Therefore, the higher LIDT would be achieved by using high purity starting material and reducing the contaminant in the evaporation course..

Optical properties and laser-induce damage threshold (LIDT) of the films were studied. It is found that heat treatment can get rid of the hydrosphereHeat treatment with oxygen, laser conditioning and ion post-treatment were post processed respectively on ZrO2 single layers deposited by electron beam evaporation (EBE). Optical properties and laser-induce damage threshold (LIDT) of the films were studied. It is found that heat treatment can get rid of the hydrosphere adsorbed in the coating, offset the lost of oxygen in the deposition, which leads to a short shift of spectra curve, a decrease of absorption and an increase of LIDT. Laser pretreatment could wipe off the defects at a certain extent and increase the LIDT, but has no use in spectrum and absorption. And ion post-treatment could increase the stack density, lessen the defects, reduce the absorption and improve the LIDT. Each method has its own treat mechanism, and the most suitable method should be chosen according to the characteristics of the coatings..

The influences of periodical modulation and local dim /bright region on the measurement of pulse duration were discussed numerically. The results show that when the intensity was modulated periodically, at certain extent the higher the modulation and the sparser the strips, the bigger the autocorrelator measurement warp will be. When the intensity was modulated by local dim /bright region and the dim region is not large, the wider the dim region or the narrower the bright region, as well as the higher the modulation, the bigger the autocorrelator measurement warp will be..
