Laser frequency locking by direct measurement of detuning.
We present a new method of laser frequency locking in which the feedback signal is directly proportional to the detuning from an atomic transition, even at detunings many times the natural linewidth of the transition. Our method is a form of sub-Doppler polarization spectroscopy, based on measuring two Stokes parameters (I2 and I3) of light transmitted through a vapor cell. It extends the linea...
متن کامل3/2omega0 radiation from the laser-driven two-plasmon decay instability in an inhomogeneous plasma.
We present the results of the first reduced model simulations of the nonlinear development of the two-plasmon decay instability in an inhomogeneous plasma, including properties of the 3/2 harmonic emission. A sharp increase in radiation and Langmuir turbulence fluctuation levels occurs above a threshold laser intensity that depends on initial fluctuation levels. We study the competition between...
متن کاملHot-Electron Heating Caused by Two-Plasmon-Decay Instability
LLE Review, Volume 126 66 Introduction High-energy electrons are detrimental to laser fusion because they can preheat the fuel, preventing the high compression necessary for central hot-spot ignition and high gain.1 The direct-drive approach is particularly vulnerable as a result of the long scale length of plasma that exists at the quarter-critical density of the target, although it can also o...
متن کاملAsynchronous optical sampling with arbitrary detuning between laser repetition rates.
A method of asynchronous optical sampling based on free-running lasers with no requirement on the repetition rates is presented. The method is based on the a posteriori determination of the delay between each pair of pulses. A resolution better than 400 fs over 13 ns total delay scan is demonstrated. In addition to the advantages of conventional asynchronous sampling techniques, this method all...
