Generation of high-power subpicosecond pulses at 155 nm.

چکیده
Subpicosecond vacuum-ultraviolet radiation at 155 nm with pulse energies above 0.2 mJ has been obtained by near-resonant four-wave difference-frequency mixing in a Xe gas jet. Laser fields for the mixing process have been generated by a short-pulse KrF dye excimer laser system and a Raman converter. The process permits tuning in a broad vacuum-ultraviolet range and can be scaled up to higher output energies.

Single-shot autocorrelator for KrF subpicosecond pulses based on two-photon fluorescence of cadmium vapor at lambda = 508 nm.
By excitation of cadmium vapor with a high-peak-power KrF excimer laser pulse, fluorescence of an atomic transition at lambda = 508 nm is induced by a two-photon ionization process followed by fast recombination. The nonlinear response of the medium is used to develop a simple single-shot autocorrelator for subpicosecond KrF excimer laser pulses operating down to intensities of less than 10(9)W...
متن کاملYb:YAG Innoslab amplifier: efficient high repetition rate subpicosecond pumping system for optical parametric chirped pulse amplification.
We report on a Yb:YAG Innoslab laser amplifier system for generation of subpicsecond high energy pump pulses for optical parametric chirped pulse amplification (OPCPA) at high repetition rates. Pulse energies of up to 20 mJ (at 12.5 kHz) and repetition rates of up to 100 kHz were attained with pulse durations of 830 fs and average power in excess of 200 W. We further investigate the possibility...
متن کاملGeneration of subpicosecond high-power optical pulses from a hybrid mode-locked semiconductor laser.
Ultrashort optical pulses 0.46 psec in duration with over 70 W of peak power are generated from an all-semiconductor laser-diode system. These results represent to our knowledge both the shortest and most-intense optical pulses generated from an all-semiconductor laser system.
متن کاملTHz generation from InN films due to destructive interference between optical rectification and photocurrent surge
We have investigated the characteristics of THz generation including the dependence of the output power and polarization on the incident angle and pump polarization from two series of InN films grown by plasma-assisted molecular beam epitaxy (PAMBE) and metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD), respectively. Following the analyses of our results, we have attributed the mechanism of the T...
متن کاملGeneration of a 20 GHz train of subpicosecond pulses with a stabilized optical-frequency-comb generator.
With a modulator-based 10 GHz optical-frequency-comb generator at 1.55 microm, we report a 20 GHz repetitive train of optical pulses as short as 450 fs. The timing stability of the 20 GHz pulses, in addition to the phase for optical-comb modes, shows a strong dependence on the relative frequency detuning between the comb generator's cavity and the seed cw laser. With a new and simple scheme, th...
