High Repetition Rate Energymodulator System Utilizing a Laser Enhancement Cavity
نویسنده
چکیده
In order to realize a high repetition rate seeded coherent radiation source, it is necessary to develop a seeding system which works in a continuous mode. Utilizing the longitudinal electric field in a higher transverse mode laser stored in an optical cavity, it is possible to introduce an energy modulation in an electron bunch. Through acceleration and dispersion handling, the modulation at laser wavelength can be converted into a finer density structure. It can be used as a seed of coherent radiation. We are developing a laser system to be used in the laser modulator system.

Phase-coherent frequency combs in the vacuum ultraviolet via high-harmonic generation inside a femtosecond enhancement cavity.
We demonstrate the generation of phase-coherent frequency combs in the vacuum utraviolet spectral region. The output from a mode-locked laser is stabilized to a femtosecond enhancement cavity with a gas jet at the intracavity focus. The resulting high-peak power of the intracavity pulse enables efficient high-harmonic generation by utilizing the full repetition rate of the laser. Optical-hetero...
متن کاملHigh-repetition-rate coherent femtosecond pulse amplification with an external passive optical cavity.
We demonstrate a general technique for enhancement of femtosecond pulses from a pulse train through their coherent buildup inside a high-finesse cavity. Periodic extraction of the intracavity pulse by means of a fast switch provides a net energy gain of 42 to >70 times for 38-58-fs pulse durations. Starting with an actively stabilized but otherwise standard mode-locked laser system, we demonstr...
متن کاملUltraviolet enhancement cavity for ultrafast nonlinear optics and high-rate multiphoton entanglement experiments
Ultrafast, ultraviolet light pulses are a key tool for spectroscopic studies (for example, molecular formation1,2 and carrier dynamics in semiconductors3) as well as a source for non-classical states of light4–13. The power required for many nonlinear processes makes amplifier systems mandatory, which significantly reduces the available repetition rate and thus often lengthens the experimental ...

متن کاملChirped-pulse oscillators for the generation of high-energy femtosecond laser pulses
This paper reports on a novel approach for producing high energy femtosecond pulses without external amplification. The so-called chirped-pulse oscillator ~CPO! concept is based on an extended-cavity oscillator, operating at small net positive intracavity group delay dispersion ~GDD!, over a broad spectral range by the use of chirped multilayer mirrors. The resultant chirped picosecond pulses a...
