Ultrashort pulse generation by molecular modulation
This PhD Tutorial describes a new source of coherent radiation, with a spectrum extending over many octaves of optical bandwidth. We demonstrate collinear generation of mutually coherent spectral sidebands, ranging in wavelength from 2.94 μm in the infrared to 195 nm in the ultraviolet. The pulse energies are above 1 mJ/10 ns pulse for each of the nine central sidebands. The essence of our tech...
متن کاملUltrashort Pulse Lasers for Hard Tissue Ablation
To date, lasers have not succeeded in replacing mechanical tools in many hard tissue applications. Slow material removal rates and unacceptable collateral damage has prevented such a successful transition. Ultrashort pulses (<10 ps) have been shown to generate little thermal or mechanical damage. Recent developments now enable such short-pulse/high-energy laser systems to operate at high pulse ...
متن کاملNonlinear compression in a rod-type fiber for high energy ultrashort pulse generation.
We report the use of nonlinear compression in a very large mode-area rod-type photonic crystal fiber. This fiber allows the use of high energy pulses in the few microjoule range. We demonstrate the compression of 4 microJ, 338 fs pulses from a fiber chirped pulse amplification (FCPA) system down to 49 fs, 41 MW peak power pulses at a repetition rate of 200 kHz with an average power of 400 mW. T...
متن کاملUltrashort-pulse second-harmonic generation with longitudinally nonuniform quasi-phase- matching gratings: pulse compression and shaping
We present a theory of ultrashort-pulse second-harmonic generation (SHG) in materials with longitudinally nonuniform quasi-phase-matching (QPM) gratings. We derive an expression for the output second-harmonic field generated in an arbitrary QPM grating from an arbitrary fundamental field, valid for arbitrary material dispersion in the undepleted-pump approximation. In the case when group-veloci...
متن کاملModeling of Nonlinear Ultrashort Optical Pulse Propagation
I present a numerical package, written in MATLAB, which provides a simplified scripting interface for simulating a host of ultrashort pulse propagation phenomena. With the proliferation of ultrashort laser technologies, the demand for efficient and accurate simulations has grown significantly. Here I introduce a linear-operator-based formalism for nonlinear pulse propagation beyond the slowly-v...
