Deleterious processes of a diode-pumped cesium vapor hollow-core photonic-crystal fiber laser

چکیده
A diode-pumped alkali laser (DPAL) provides the significant promise for high-powered performances. In this paper, a mathematical model is introduced for examination of the kinetic processes of a diode-pumped cesium vapor hollow-core photonic-crystal fiber (HC-PCF) laser, in which the cesium vapor is filled in the center hole of a photonic-bandgap fiber instead of a glass cell. The influence of deleterious processes including energy pooling, photo-ionization, and Penning ionization on the physical features of a fiber DPAL is studied in this report. It has been theoretically demonstrated that the deleterious processes cannot be ignored in a high-powered fiber-DPAL system.

Hollow-core Optical Fiber Gas Lasers (HOFGLAS): a review [Invited]
The development of hollow core photonic crystal fibers with low losses over a broad spectral region in the near IR enabled the demonstration of a novel laser type Hollow-core Optical Fiber Gas Laser (HOFGLAS). The laser combines attractive features of fiber lasers such as compactness and long interaction length of pump and laser radiation with those of gas lasers such as the potential for high ...

Large-size 0.1 Yb2O3–1.0 Al2O3–98.9 SiO2 (mol%) core glass was prepared by the sol–gel method. Its optical properties were evaluated. Both large mode area double cladding fiber (LMA DCF) with core diameter of 48 μm and large mode area photonic crystal fiber (LMA PCF) with core diameter of 90 μm were prepared from this core glass. Transmission loss at 1200 nm is 0.41 dB/m. Refractive index fluct...

short): Hollow-core Optical Fiber Gas LASer (HOFGLAS) have been created, and explored in pulsed mode with C2H2 and HCN gas inside the hollow core of a kagome structured photonic crystal fiber, and nearideal efficiencies were realized for wavelengths near 1.5 μm (pump, 1 ns-pulses) and 3 μm (lasing). Improved fiber loss is realized near 3 μm to <1 dB/m. In addition, a pulsed CO2 waveguide (silve...

We demonstrate a nanosecond-pulse erbium-doped fiber laser that is passively mode locked by a hollow-core photonic crystal fiber filled with few-layered graphene oxide solution. Owing to the good solution processing capability of few-layered graphene oxide, which can be filled into the core of a hollow-core photonic crystal fiber through a selective hole filling process, a graphene saturable ab...
