By thermal bonding technology the single-clad YAG/Nd:YAG/YAG planar waveguide crystal has been fabricated. The geometry of the waveguide crystal is 12 mm×5 mm×1 mm, and Nd:YAG core is 0.2 mm thick and symmetry claddings are 0.4 mm thick. A novel pump scheme is employed——edge-bevel pumping: A 12 mm long edge is chamfered as a 0.3 mm wide bevel, the pump light from the fast-axis-collimated laser diode (LD) is focused and coupled into the crystal through the edge bevel. The pump efficiency is 82%, when the transmittance of the output mirror is 6.6% and the diode pump power is 49.5 W, the output power is 13.6 W with flat-flat cavity, the optical-optical conversion efficiency is 27.5%, and the transverse M2 factor is 1.9. The laser achieves a relatively high optical-optical conversion efficiency and excellent beam quality in transverse direction..

Coupled-cavity electro-optically Q-switched microchip lasers are integrated solid-state lasers with advantages of small size, fundamental transverse mode, single longitudinal mode, linear polarization, high repetition rate, and short pulse duration. They are ideal seed sources for high repetition rate, high beam quality MOPA systems. Experimental and theoretical study of the lasers is demonstrated. From theoretical analysis, long electric material and high end-face reflectivity lead to narrow Fabry-Pérot etalon transmission bandwidth, and low driving voltage. Two experimental setups are designed for low voltage driving. The gain medium and the electric material are Nd:YVO4 and LiTaO3, respectively. The cavity size is smaller than 3 mm×3 mm×2.5 mm. In the first setup, the output characteristics are studied through changing the length of electric material. Pulse repetition rates as high as 300 kHz is achieved with 184 mW pump power and 240 V driving voltage. The pulse width and peak power are 10 ns and 9.4 W, respectively. In the second setup, 1 MHz pulse rate is achieved in a short time period, by increasing the end-face reflectivity..

There is always a contradiction between the heat-sinking capability and the volume in the engineering applications of the micro-diode-pumped solid-state laser (DPL). Using of narrow pumping width technology not only improves the products in the quality of photoelectric technology, but also decreases the heat output in key parts of apparatus to 30% of original level. It effectively solves the problem which is the heat output of the tiny parts of apparatus and improves the overall performance of the laser. Under the conditions of repeat frequency 2.5 kHz and pumping duration 120 μs, it achieves the peak power of 12.1 kW, impulse width of 7.7 ns and the laser beam quality factor M2 1.7 in pulse output while the laser works stably from -55 ℃ to +75 ℃. The technology greatly improves the developable space for equipment system. Clients could increase the repeat frequency to 5 kHz or even higher if needed..

Semiconductor saturable absorption mirrors (SESAMs) have become the important components in the compact mode-locking solid-state lasers. we designed a side-pumped folded cavity Nd:YAG solid laser mode-locking with SESAM and got the highest average output power of about 4.7 W. The single pulse has about 85 nJ energy and 55 MHz repeat frequency. The spectrum is measured and the full wavelength at half maximum (FWHM) is about 0.1 nm, and the M2 factor is about 1.2. Significantly, with exactly measurement about the thermal focus length, special cavity can be designed to control the mode radius. Although the laser was pumped by high power LDs (over hundreds watts), but it still has very well beam quality(nearly the diffraction-limited beam). From this work, it get closer towards the high power mode-locking solid laser..

A dual-wavelength diode side-pumped Nd:YAG laser is generating intermittent laser action at the wavelengths of 1064 nm and 1319 nm was demonstrated. By this means, the population inversion is distributed efficiently, mode competition of both laser lines can be avoided, the effect resulted from the accuracy of the coating process can be reduced and the stable output of dual-wavelength is easily obtained. Furthermore, under different operation conditions, the ratio of the output powers can be controlled by changing the delay time. For the input current 22 A, the pulse repetition rate 4 kHz and the delay time 10 μs, the output powers are 6.2 W for 1319 nm and 5.1 W for 1064 nm, respectively. The numerical simulation of the performance of the dual-wavelength laser has been considered basing on the rate equations of intermittent oscillation dual-wavelength laser and the theoretical analysis corresponds to the experimental result..

Under 28 W pump power, 8.7 W (in traditional indium-wrapped heat-sink), 10.5 W (in indium-wrapped multi-channel heat-sink) and 11.9 W (in indium-soldered multi-channel heat-sink) output were obtained with the Nd:GdVO4 laser crystal, respectively. Corresponding optical-optical efficiencies are 31%, 38% and 44%, and the slope efficiencies are 36%, 42% and 49%, respectively. In addition, 17.5 W output was achieved under 40 W incident pump power when the indium-soldered multi-channel heatsink was used, and no saturation was observed. From the aspects of maximum output power,optical-optical efficiency and slope efficiency, the indium-soldered multi-channel heat-sink showed best performance among three kinds of heatsinks. And the advantage was further certified by measuring the length of thermal lens and fundamental mode output power..

It is common to use Yb-doped double-clad fibers as gain material for high power fiber lasers. It is found that these fibers are similar to the general un-doped telecommunication fiber. Because of small core size, only from several microns to tens of microns, it is much easier to cause self-pulsing effects in the fiber lasers. It is presented the experimental study of self-pulsing behavior of Yb-doped fiber lasers. The result shows that under the high power condition without concentration effect, large core Yb-doped double-clad fiber are the same to three-level ion systems that self-pulsing behavior is the result of relaxed oscillation. To Yb-doped fiber laser, saturated absorption effect, stimulated Brillouin scattering and stimulated Raman scattering cannot be ignored..

Based on investigations of resonance characteristics in Brillouin fiber ring resonator, a frequency stability system is developed, in which microprocessor is adopted as the central controller and piezolectric ceramics (PZT) as the frequency regulator. In order to eliminate effects of external factors, the idea of “numerical average filter” is adopted, which has highly improved the accuracy of frequency-discrimination. Besides, in order to make full use of the high speed characteristic of the frequency stability system designed in this paper, the control idea of “equal step, small step and quick control” is adopted. Using this control idea can improve the control accuracy and still guarantee the tracking velocity, and the system will not be easy to lose locking because the control idea rejects control vibration. The measuring frequency time is about 500 μs, and frequency accuracy is about 0.5 MHz, the locking time is 30 min..

Combming the current hollow duct coupling system for large aperture LD arrays, we discuss the common rules in designing coupling system for large aperture LD arrays from the coupling efficiency, energy distribution and propagation characteristics. Also, a new way to predigest the elements of coupling system for large aperture LD arrays by arranging small arrays spherically was introduced. For 100kW LD arrays, using only one hollow duct we obtained excellent results with large uniform pump field by arranging small arrays spherically, and the intensity was more than 20 kW/cm2 with fluctuation less than 5%. The total coupling efficiency is 98%, and around 90% of energy was contained within the effective area of gain media..

Facing the problems of high thermal resistance and high temperature difference on the top surface of semiconductor laser arrays′ directional macro-channel liquid-cooled heat sinks inducing different lifetimes and hard controlling of spectral width, the temperature distribution of internal heat sinks through the finite element modeling is presented. The heat sink under consideration is made of copper with varying the area of coolant inlet. Established analysis and simulation models show that a heat sink with smaller inlet area provides a lower surface temperature gradient and a better capability of heat dissipate. A continuous wave (CW) 120 W output semiconductor laser arrays pump source (3 laser bars) is obtained by using this kind of small inlet macro-channel heat sink. The central wavelength is 807.7 nm with a full wavelength at half maximum (FWHM) of 2.8 nm..

A indirect method of measuring semiconductor PN junction characteristic parameters is proposed, and the convergence property of the numerical computational method used in this method is proved. Two simplified analysis formulas on using open circuit voltage and short circuit current are proposed to calculate PN junction quality factor and reverse saturation current of the photocell. Compared with the results of the numerical computational method, the relative error of quality factor and the reverse saturated current calculated by the simplified analytical formula are 0.03% and 0.25%, respectively. Compared with experimental results, the relative errors of open-circuit voltage calculated with iterative method is not less than 0.3%..

We can get the beam spots at 9 various positions to be measured simultaneously by using the defocus gratings closely connecting with a short-focal-length lens. The lens provides the majority of the focusing power and the grating provides 9 separate optical axes and effectively modifies the focal length of each axis.

The nonuniformity of the irradiation on the target is eliminated by adjusting the intensity distribution on the cross section of the incident laser beams while keeping the position and direction of the beams that are used for indirect-driven laser fusion unchanged. A simulating program that can calculate the intensity distribution on spherical target with several beams irradiating on it is written. The intensity distribution on the target and its nonuniformity are worked out according to the condition of the incident beams. Then the distribution on the focal plane of the beams is educed by using the principle of weighted average. Finally the laser′s electric field distribution before the lens that is necessary for the uniform irradiation is obtained based on the laser transmission theory..

The influence on outcoupled phase mode by introducing intracavity tilt-perturbation in confocal unstable resonators is researched by adopting Fox-Li prony method. The distribution of wavefront has been analyzed by using Zernike aberration and mode reconstruction theory. The front 35-order Zernike aberration coefficient, point spread function (PSF) and the integrated relative far-field intensity are obtained, so the beam quality can be known fully. The properties of mode distortion are also studied experimentally by adopting Hartmann-Shack (H-S) wavefront sensor. Finally, a set of control system for intracavity perturbation is constructed and the correction for intracavity low-order aberration is performed experimentally. The result of intracavity correction shows that the system can achieve good correction for static intracavity perturbation when the control loop is closed after tilt is introduced. The front 10-order Zernike aberration, the peak value (PV) and root-mean-square (RMS) error of the wavefront have been reduced remarkably..

The results show that the intensity profile of backward SBS spot turns from quasi-Gaussian to Gaussian profile when the pump energy increases. And the size of SBS spot decreases gradually in a whole with pump energy. When pump energy is near the SBS threshold, the size of SBS spot is maximum, and larger than that of pump spot. When pump energy is three times larger than the SBS threshold, the size of SBS spot is minimum and smaller than that of pump spot..

Pulse-shaping of nanosecond broadband KrF laser is studied in this paper. Short pulse is obtained through the stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) pulse compression, and then the pulse-shaping is realized by using the pulses-stacking. According to the amplification of stacking-pulses in KrF laser amplifier, KrF laser amplifier has great influence on the shape of stacking-pulse. Through adjusting the shape of stacking-pulse, the anticipated shaped pulse can be gained after amplification. The energy of shaped-pulse reaches 50mJ after once amplification, and reaches 300mJ after twice amplifications. The theoretical analysis agrees well with the experimental results. The results show that the combined scheme of pulse-stacking and the amplification of amplifier have strong ability of pulse-shaping..

Laser welding of thick stainless steel with 20 kW CO2 laser was studied. The focal point shifts at high output power. For describing welding position the distance h between the center of focusing mirror and surface of test piece was used as the welding position reference, and the seam formation and welding depth were also studied. Besides, high power laser welding was more sensitive to the focal system. The seam formation gave little differences at different welding positions when the focal length f was 300 mm while it was not the case when the f=200 mm. A good bead was got with one pass welding when f=200 mm, h=208 mm, laser power was 18 kW, and welding velocity was 2 m/min. The results illustrated that through optimizing welding parameters, without groove and filling materials, 12 mm thick stainless steel plate was butt welded with 20 kW laser and the seam formation was well..

A flash imaging lidar system based on multiple streaks (MS)-streak tube was designed. In the imaging process, the laser beam after expanding was irradiated on the target, and the light reflected by the target was focused on the fiber image transformer through receining antena. The line images transformed from plane image will be coupled to the photocathode of streak tube through an optical taper. The photoelectrons excitated by the line images are accelerated and deflected by the deflecting voltage: And then they were imaged on the phosphor of the streak tube and captured by a CCD camera. In order to remap the line images to area image, the distortion effect of streak tube must be corrected, for it will seriously affect the final image remapping. The reason and effect of the distortion is analyzed in this paper. Distoration of streak image and its effect to image remapping is simulated. The results show that 5% elongated or 0.5% local dip will seriously influence the remapped quality of target image..

The ANSYS software was used to simulate the temperature and thermal stress distributions considering the influences of surface convection and the variation of the physical properties of the glass with temperatures. The relationships between temperature and the thickness and rotating velocity of the ampoule were obtained. The results show that the surface temperature decreases with the increase of thickness; the temperature of the outer surface will reach almost the same value at different rotating velocities, if the laser interaction time is the same. The main cause of the ampoule broken is the tensile stress during the cooling..

Polymers are a kind of attractive hosts for laser dyes with advantages such as superior optical homogeneity, high transparency in pumping and lasing range, good chemical compatibility with organic dyes, easy control of the chemical process, low cost, and so on. PM567-doped solid dye samples based on copolymer of methyl methacrylate (MMA) with 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) were prepared. The influence of the volume percentage of HEMA on the properties of solid dye samples was studied. Pumping the samples longitudinally with the second harmonic generation (SHG) of Q-switched Nd:YAG laser at the pulse rate of 10 Hz, the output properties were studied. The lasing threshold was lower than 10 mJ/cm2. There was an optimal volume ratio of MMA to HEMA for the highest slope efficiency. And the highest efficiency 56.2% was obtained in the sample with volume ratio 1:1. The photostability of samples was studied through pumping the samples by 17.5 mJ/pulse (the fluence was 0.02 J/cm2) at 10 Hz repetition rate. The useful lifetime of 123000 shots was obtained before the output fell to half of its initial value, and normalized stability was 10.8 GJ/mol..

The distribution function of relative velocity between two colliding atoms in three-dimensional space is obtained based on Maxwell velocity distribution function under thermal equilibrium condition. Considering this distribution function in the computation of laser-induced collision cross section, one laser-induced collisional energy transfer (LICET) process in Eu-Sr system both in weak and strong field is numerically calculated by integrating the motion equation based on the four-level model, and profiles of laser-induced collision cross section at given temperature are obtained. Impacts of relative velocity distribution on laser-induced collision process are analyzed by comparing the presenting numerical results with the former theoretical research. It is shown that although statistical distribution of relative velocity between two atoms has no impacts on the line shape of LICET spectrum, it has certain impacts on the peak value of collision cross section. The conclusions we came to in this paper are consistent with the theoretical predictions of former investigation, showing the validity of our numerical calculations..

Extreme ultraviolet lithography (EUVL) technology, the extensional technology of 193 nm immersion lithography, would breakthrough the 30 nm node or below and become the main technology of the next generation lithography (NGL). Although the capillary discharge extreme ultraviolet (EUV) source could provide efficient and convenient light for EUVL investigation, its low power confines the development of EUVL. The concept design of three-line capillary discharge EUV source will be essentially different from conventional capillary discharge channel, which will also make a great difference of dynamical mechanism. The circular loop band plasma column of three-line capillary discharge EUV source irradiates more EUV power than conventional capillary discharge device does and the optimal divergence angle of the former will be improved too. The concept design plan of three-line capillary discharge will not only create a new area for EUVL research technically, but also help to produce light sources industrially and economically..

It has been an important trend for searching materials with quicker second harmonic generation (SHG) and some excellent poling conditions. In this paper, the properties of SHG were investigated for spin coating films of the Azo host-guest adulterant dye by using all-optical poling way. The experiment results show that the saturation time of all optical poling was different for the same guest (NBMR) adulterated to different hosts. The poling time of whose hostis PMMA was about 15 min quicker than PA. For the same sample, poling condition Iω/I2ω=9 is better than Iω/I2ω=30. The rule of all-optical poling were basically same for the spin coating films with the same host (PMMA), different guests (NBAR and NBMR) and different thicknesses. The longer of the poling time, the stronger of the SHG intensity during the poling first stageis . But the SHG intensity no longer increases adding when the samples′ SHG intensity reaches a certain saturation value. Then it would be slightly receded with the increasing of poling time, and at last it would reach to a stable value..

Vanadium dioxide thin films can be used in laser protection for it has the closest phase transition temperature to the room temperature. Before phase transition, its transmittance is high, and the detector can work. Phase transition occurs when the attack laser′s energy is absorbed, then transmittance decrease, and the detector can be protected. The film thickness has large influence on transmittance. Its influence can be analyzed by eigenmatrix method of absorbing thin film, calculating the transmittance before and after phase transition using refract index n and extinction index k. For the transmittance 75% before and 5% after phase transition by calculating the thickness, combining with the calculation of sputtering yield and sputtering rate, preparing time can be gotten. VO2 thin films were prepared on zinc selenide, the transmittance was measured by IR spectrophotometer, 79.2% before and 12.3% after phase transition. The thickness was measured by profile meter, and the result fits the calculation well. The calculation about thickness is doable..

In intersatellite communications, wave front aberration is main factor in affecting far-field behavior of signal beam. In this paper the influence of coma and spherical aberration on the far-field distribution and antenna receiving power is analyzed, in which aberration attenuation factor is introduced and the relation of it to root mean square (RMS) of wavefront aberration is given. The results show that the deeper coma and spherical aberration are, the heavier the influence on receiving power is. In the condition of the antennae being aligned correctly, receiving power becomes half of that for signal beam without aberration, when the values of root mean square for coma and spherical aberration are 0.120λ and 0.135λ, respectively. The influence of coma on receiving power is mainly caused by the moving of the intensity peak, and for spherical aberration it is the increasing of secondary intensity peak..

A novel method to realize a highly nonlinear photonic crystal fiber (PCF) is reported. In this method, the core of the hollow core-PCF (HC-PCF) is filled with highly nonlinear liquids, such as carbon disulfide, chloroform and methylbenzene. The transmitting characteristics, fundamental mode distribution and dispersion features of the liquid-filled PCFs are studied by using the full-vector finite element method. Numerical results indicate that the zero-dispersion wavelength of the liquid-filled PCF can be tuned around 800 nm. And the propagation of femtosecond pulses laser with central wavelength at 800 nm through the liquid-filled PCF in its anomalous dispersion regime is numerically simulated. As the liquid-filled PCF demonstrates highly nonlinear coefficient, the liquid-filled PCF is capable to generate dramatically broadened supercontinuum about 1000 nm through several micrometers distance..

The structural parameters of butterfly multimode interference (MMI) coupler need to be determined according to the special ratio of power splitting when the device is designed. The coupling length, as a characteristic parameter of rectangular MMI coupler, is determined by the finite difference beam propagation method (FD-BPM) which is applied to the modeling of symmetrical interference rectangular MMI coupler and then the structural parameters of butterfly MMI coupler are designed by the formulas of mode propagation analyse (MPA) method which is an approximate method. Finally the FD-BPM is used to correct the parameters of butterfly MMI couplers, including the structural parameters and the ratio of power splitting. It is indicated by an example of practical device in SOI wafer that the length of butterfly MMI coupler obtained by simulation is more than the length expected by MPA theory within the range of two to four micrometers. The actual power splitting ratio is lower than the predicted values of MPA theory. And the further the shape of butterfly MMI coupler departures from the shape of rectangular MMI coupler, the more deviation grows between these two values..

In the high energy pulsed fiber amplifiers, due to the long gain region of fiber, amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) builted during the space of successive pulses is the most important limitation of the increase of storage energy and extraction capabilities. An analytic model is developed to evaluate the ASE, storage energy, gain and extractable energy from low frequency, high pumped fiber amplifiers for various numerical apertures, overlap integrals, reflection index, core radius, fiber length and pump power. This model could reflect the physics essence compared to numerical model. The model provides a good assessment for the maximum extractable energy and gain from high energy pulsed amplifiers..

Tian Ning,Wang Dongsheng,Huang Lei,Gong MaliAiming at solving special requirements of fiber device suited for fiber laser under high power density operation, a new measurement system was designed to meet these special requirements. After comprehensive analysis and comparison with truncation method, backward scattering method and insertion loss method, a new dual optical path measurement system of fiber was proposed. The system can measure the insertion loss of tested fiber and reference fiber at the same time to monitor and calibrate the input optical signal power, so it can achieve higher accuracy. Theoretical consequence and explanation for the measuring method and parameters in this new system are discussed in this paper. The transmission efficiency and measuring accuracy of the system is analyzed, which meet the need of design (Insertion loss ≤0.5 dB, return loss≥50 dB)..
