Compression of Femtosecond Optical Pulses Using Hollow-Core Fibers
نویسنده
چکیده
Fused-silica and silver-coated hollowcore fibers have been used to compress femtosecond optical pulses from a Ti:sapphire laser at 800 nm. Input pulses with energy of 250 μJ and duration of 110 fs were used and compressed pulses with duration of 20 fs and energy of 220 μJ were generated by using the silver-coated fiber. When a similar uncoated fused-silica hollow fiber was used, compressed pulses with duration of 20 fs and energy of 190 μJ were obtained. Numerical and experimental results are compared.

In this paper, we investigate the evolution of supercontinuum and femtosecond optical pulses generation through square lattice elliptical-core photonic crystal fiber (PCF) at 1550 nm by using both full-vector multipole method (M.P.M) and novel concrete algorithms: symmetric split-step Fourier (SSF) and fourth order Runge Kutta (RK4) which is an accurate method to solve the general nonlinear...

Femtosecond laser pulses have high impact on the state-of-the-art modern developed technologies and its applications. Generation of high power femtosecond pulses with short pulse durations with a stable profile represent a challenge due to many experimental difficulties. In this work, a table top source of ultrashort laser pulses high energy femtosecond laser system is demonstrated. After optim...
متن کاملSpectral broadening and temporal compression of ∼ 100 fs pulses in air-filled hollow core capillary fibers.
We experimentally study the spectral broadening of intense, ∼ 100 femtosecond laser pulses at 785 nm coupled into different kinds of hollow core capillary fibers, all filled with air at ambient pressure. Differently from observations in other gases, the spectra are broadened with a strong red-shift due to highly efficient intrapulse Raman scattering. Numerical simulations show that such spectra...
متن کاملMulti-meter fiber-delivery and pulse self-compression of milli-Joule femtosecond laser and fiber-aided laser-micromachining.
We report on damage-free fiber-guidance of milli-Joule energy-level and 600-femtosecond laser pulses into hypocycloid core-contour Kagome hollow-core photonic crystal fibers. Up to 10 meter-long fibers were used to successfully deliver Yb-laser pulses in robustly single-mode fashion. Different pulse propagation regimes were demonstrated by simply changing the fiber dispersion and gas. Self-comp...
متن کاملOptical wave breaking of pulses in nonlinear optical fibers.
A new effect appears in femtosecond optical pulse compression, using single-mode fibers, that we describe as optical wave breaking. In the fiber, frequency-shifted light in the leading and trailing edges of a pulse overtakes unshifted light in the pulse tails. Mixing of these overlapping frequency components generates sidelobes on the pulse spectrum. The effect often leads to computational inst...
