Short Pulse Generation Using Semiconducfor Lasers
نویسندگان
چکیده
We have generated picosecond opfic1 pulses with very pure spectral characteristics using semiconductor lasers with monolithic cavities. Fx repetition rates less than 10 GHz, gain-switching of DFB lasers with quantum well loss-gratings is usul. Monolithic colliding pulse mode-locked semiconductor lasers are used to generate short pulses with repetition rate up to 350GHz.

Development and applications of compact high-intensity lasers
The development of compact high-intensity lasers, made possible by the technique of chirped pulse amplification, is reviewed. This includes the complexities of high-power laser implementation, such as the generation of short pulses, pulse cleaning, wide-bandwidth amplification, temporal stretching and compression, and the requirements for high-average powers. Details of specific solid-state las...

Ž . The interaction of high-intensity short pulse fs lasers with atomic or molecular vapors permits the conversion of visible light to intense coherent radiation in the vacuum ultraviolet spectral region. We demonstrate sum frequency mixing of a Ž . Ž . high-intensity short pulse fs laser with a conventional long pulse ns laser to extend the accessible wavelength range of harmonic generation. T...

The advantage of using lasers for through silicon via (TSV) drilling is that they allow higher flexibility during manufacturing because vacuums, lithography, and masks are not required; furthermore, lasers can be applied to metal and dielectric layers other than silicon. However, conventional nanosecond lasers have disadvantages including that they can cause heat affection around the target are...
متن کاملHigh-rate femtosecond pulse generation via line-by-line processing of phase-modulated CW laser frequency comb
Introduction: High repetition rate optical pulses in a few picosecond range and below are playing an increasingly important role in high speed optical fibre communication systems. Such high repetition rate short pulses are routinely generated by harmonically modelocked lasers [1], but with the following limitations: (i) complicated feedback control is required; (ii) the modelocked frequency com...
