Second and third harmonic generation from simultaneous high peak- and high average-power thin disk laser

چکیده
Abstract We report Second Harmonic Generation (SHG) and Third (THG) energy conversion efficiencies up to 59% 27%, respectively, for laser pulses simultaneously delivering high peak power in the sub-TW range average powers sub-kW range. No damage or efficiency decrease is observed after more than 100 h operation time. The resulting high-energy visible near-UV are suitable applications, such as lightning control, material analysis machining, OPCPA pumping.

Performance Simulation of Side-Pumped Slanted Faces of High Power Yb:YAGYAG Thin-Disk Laser
We present a novel slanted faces of thin-disk composite Yb:YAG YAG laser which is side-pumped by four non-symmetric hollow- ducts. The pump light distribution in the disk is modeled by using Monte-Carlo ray tracing method. The temperature distribution inside the crystal is calculated by taking into account either the concentration of Yb+3 ion or the different transmission of laser output coupl...
متن کاملHigh power Bessel-like laser beam by thin disk geometry
Diffraction-free beam and optical invariant field are special cases of optical wave propagation that have caught general attention in the last decade. Temporal solitons were the first class of optical signals to be recognized as being invariant under propagation (Hasegawa and Tapert, 1973) and to be experimentally demonstrated (Mollenaure et al., 1980). But, they require a nonlinearity to prese...
متن کاملSimultaneous second-harmonic generation, third-harmonic generation, and four-wave mixing microscopy with single sub-8 fs laser pulses
We demonstrate a compact pulse compression scheme that offers flexible chirp control for improved conversion efficiencies in high resolution nonlinear optical microscopy. An Er:fiber laser combined with a highly nonlinear optical fiber yields pulses centered at 1100 nm with a bandwidth of 500 nm. The compressed pulses with a duration of 7.6 fs enable simultaneous second-harmonic generation, thi...

Excitation of 10-GHz gigawatt-range radiation pulses ~ 1 ns long in relativistic backward-wave oscillators with an elongated periodic slow-wave system has been studied. Accelerators based on a compact pulsed-periodic high-voltage generator type SINUS-160 and a generator employing an inductive energy storage, a semiconductor opening switch and a peaking hydrogen-filled spark gap have been develo...

We present a semiconductor saturable absorber mirror mode-locked thin disk laser based on Yb:Lu(2)O(3) with an average power of 141 W and an optical-to-optical efficiency of more than 40%. The ideal soliton pulses have an FWHM duration of 738 fs, an energy of 2.4 microJ, and a corresponding peak power of 2.8 MW. The repetition rate was 60 MHz and the beam was close to the diffraction limit with...
