Single-frequency Pulsed Laser Oscillator and System for Laser-ultrasonics
We present a new pulsed laser oscillator and system for the optical detection of ultrasound in materials. A single-frequency laser oscillator based on a pulse pumped Nd:YAG rod inside a ring cavity is proposed. The laser delivers single-frequency pulses of 35 W power. Power of about 1 kW can be obtained when the second rod of a dual-rod pumping chamber is used as an amplifier. Performance of th...
متن کاملPulsed, single-frequency, ring laser with a holographic output coupler.
A unidirectional, passively Q-switched, 2.05-μm Ho:YLF ring laser providing single-frequency, sub-mJ-energy, 100-200-ns-long laser pulses at a kHz rate is reported. The wavelength selection and "coarse" spectral narrowing is performed by utilizing a volume Bragg grating as a resonant, narrowband output coupler operated at a small angle away from normal incidence. Pulsed operation of the Ho:YLF ...
متن کاملTheory and Applications of Frequency Domain Laser Ultrasonics
In frequency domain laser ultrasonics, the pulsed laser source used for ultrasound excitation in conventional laser ultrasonics is replaced by a low power, amplitude modulated laser source. The acoustic signals are detected using an interferometer or contact transducer, coupled to a RF lock-in amplifier or vector network analyzer. The detection bandwidth reduction afforded by this technique all...
متن کاملAutomatic Laser Ultrasonics for Rail Inspection
This paper presents the state of the current activities to develop a high-speed inspection system for evaluating rail defects. Since conventional contact ultrasonic techniques are speed limited, the aim was to build an automatic inspection system, which applies non-contact ultrasonic methods. An automatic Laser Ultrasonic system for Rail Inspection (LURI) has been developed and tested on a rail...
متن کاملSingle-particle motional oscillator powered by laser.
An ion, atom, molecule or macro-particle in a trap can exhibit large motional oscillations due to the Doppler-affected radiation pressure by a laser, blue-detuned from an absorption line of a particle. This oscillator can be nearly thresholdless, but under certain conditions it may exhibit huge hysteretic excitation. Feasible applications include a "Foucault pendulum" in a trap, a rotation sens...
