Optical limiting and thermal lensing studies in C 60
Optical limiting and thermo-optic properties of C60 in toluene are studied using 532 nm, 9 ns pulses from a frequency-doubled Nd:YAG laser. Optical limiting studies in these fullerene molecules lead to the conclusion that reverse saturable absorption is the major mechanism for limiting properties in these molecules. Thermal lensing measurements are also performed in fullerene solutions. The qua...
متن کاملCompensation of strong thermal lensing in high-optical-power cavities.
In an experiment to simulate the conditions in high optical power advanced gravitational wave detectors, we show for the first time that the time evolution of strong thermal lenses follows the predicted infinite sum of exponentials (approximated by a double exponential), and that such lenses can be compensated using an intracavity compensation plate heated on its cylindrical surface. We show th...
متن کاملNonlinear Responses and Optical Limiting Behavior of Ag Nanoparticle Suspension
In this study, the nonlinear optical properties and optical limiting performance of the silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) in distilled water are investigated. The nonlinear absorption coefficient of the colloid is measured by the Z-scan technique. The optical limiting behavior of the AgNP suspension is investigated under exposure to nanosecond laser pulses at 532 nm. The results show that nonlinear ...
متن کاملThermal lensing in cryogenic sapphire substrates
We report the reduction of the thermal lensing in cryogenic sapphire mirrors, which is planed to be used in the Large scale Cryogenic Gravitational wave Telescope (LCGT) project. We measured three key parameters of sapphire substrate for thermal lensing at cryogenic temperature. They are optical absorption coefficient, thermal conductivity and temperature coefficient of refractive index at cryo...
متن کاملThermal Lensing in a Nd:YAG Laser Rod.
Theoretical and experimental results are reported on the thermal lensing effect caused by the radial thermal gradient present in optically pumped Nd:YAG laser rods. The presented theory is in agreement with the experimental observations. The results reveal that a Nd: YAG rod under pumped light becomes a positive lens with two focal lengths. The temperature dependent variation of the refractive ...
