Intracavity Frequency-Doubled and Frequency-Stabilized CW Ring Nd:YAP Laser.
A frequency-doubled and frequency-stabilized ring Nd:YAP laser with a six-mirror cavity is demonstrated. This laser satisfies both the thermal insensitivity and optimal frequency-doubling conditions. A second-harmonic output to 1 W at 0.54 mum is achieved. The intensity fluctuation is less than ?1.5% and the frequency stability is better than ?1 MHz (5 min).
متن کاملTime-frequency and chirps
Chirps (i.e., transient AM-FM waveforms) are ubiquitous in nature and man-made systems, and they may serve as a paradigm for many nonstationary deterministic signals. The time-frequency plane is a natural representation space for chirps, and we will here review a number of questions related to chirps, as addressed from a time-frequency perspective. Global and local approaches will be described ...
متن کاملHigh bandwidth spectral gratings programmed with linear frequency chirps
Temporally overlapped linear frequency chirps (TOLFCs), a novel method for programming a spatial-spectral grating, are used to demonstrate grating bandwidths in excess of 2GHz. The proper operating conditions for this method are discussed along with grating efficiency measurements. A Maxwell–Bloch simulator, which incorporates arbitrary phase functions, is used to simulate this programming meth...
متن کاملFrequency-domain photothermoacoustic and ultrasonic imaging of blood and opto-thermal effects of plasmonic nanoparticle concentrations.
We describe the use of combined ultrasonic imaging (USI) and photoacoustic radar imaging (PARI) with linear chirp laser modulation to provide visualization of blood with and without the use of gold nanoparticles. A blood vessel simulating sample (S1) containing pure sheep blood was shown to be an optically weak absorbing medium which satisfies thermal but not acoustic confinement. On the contra...
متن کاملSingle-frequency CW Ti:sapphire laser with intensity noise manipulation and continuous frequency-tuning.
We present a tunable single-frequency CW Ti:sapphire laser with intensity noise manipulation. The manipulation of the laser intensity noise is realized by varying the frequency of the modulation signal loaded on the electrodes of an intracavity electro-optic etalon. A lithium niobate (LiNbO3) crystal is used to act as the electro-optic etalon, and its electro-optic effect is utilized...
