High-Power Single-Frequency Fiber Lasers
Single frequency laser sources are desired in many applications. Various architectures for achieving high power single frequency fiber laser outputs have been investigated and demonstrated. Axial gain apodization can affect the lasing threshold and spectral modal discrimination of DFB lasers. Modeling results show that if properly tailored, the lasing threshold can be reduced by 21% without sac...
متن کاملHigh-efficiency, high-power difference-frequency generation of 0.9-1.5 μm light in BBO
An efficient method for generation of high energy pulsed ir light between 0.9 and 1.5 ltm is described. The technique uses difference frequency mixing of pulsed, visible dye and Nd:YAG laser light in a 10 mm long BBO crystal. Quantum efficiencies of up to 23% and ir pulse energies up to 4.5 mJ are demonstrated. The low shot-to-shot fluctuations of difference frequency generation in BBO make thi...
متن کاملTItanium Sapphire Lasers
• In 1982 researchers at Lincoln Laboratory operated a tunable laser based on Ti:Al20 3 for the first time. A wide variety ofdevelopments in Ti:Alz0 3 1aser technology then followed the advances in crystal growth that occurred during the mid-1980s. Since that time researchers have demonstrated high efficiency, wide tunability, frequency-stable continuous-wave operation, and generation of very s...
متن کاملSimultaneous Raman based power combining and wavelength conversion of high-power fiber lasers.
We present a technique for simultaneous power-combining and wavelength-conversion of multiple fiber lasers into a single, longer wavelength in a different band through Raman-based, nonlinear power combining. We illustrate this by power combining of two independent Ytterbium lasers into a single wavelength around 1.5micron with high output powers of upto 99W. A high conversion efficiency of ~64%...
متن کاملHigh-Power High-Brightness Lasers
High power high brightness diode lasers are gaining more and more interest for applications previously dominated by expensive and inefficient solid-state lasers due to their better efficiency, brightness and compactness. The significant fact about conventional high brightness optical sources is that they exhibit about an order of magnitude higher brightness than broad-area semiconductor lasers....
