چکیده

We present a novel Yb:KGd(WO(4))(2) oscillator design that generates six beams of temporally delayed, 253 fs, 11 nJ pulses. This allows multifocal nonlinear microscopy to be performed without the need for complicated optical multiplexers. We demonstrate our design with twelve simultaneously acquired two-photon, second-harmonic and/or third-harmonic images generated from six laterally separated foci.

Femtosecond Yb:KGd(WO(4))(2) laser oscillator pumped by a high power fiber-coupled diode laser module.

The development and characterization of a diode-pumped ultrashort pulse Yb:KGd(WO(4))(2) laser oscillator is reported. The laser was pumped by a 25W fiber-coupled diode laser module operating at 980 nm wavelength. In the mode-locked regime, 296 fs duration pulses centered around 1031 nm were generated at a repetition rate of 61 MHz with a total average output power of up to 3.7W, corresponding ...

High power, high repetition rate diode-pumped femtosecond Yb:KGW oscillator

This paper reports on an efficient high power single end-pumped femtosecond Yb:KGd(WO4)2 (Yb:KGW) oscillator. By optimization of cavity design and special selection of mode size on semiconductor saturable absorber mirror (SESAM), output average power of 5.06 W and pulse duration of 410 fs was achieved with a pump power of 14.56 W, corresponding to a slope efficiency of 48.0% and an opticalto-op...

Orthogonally polarized dual‐wavelength Yb:KGW laser induced by thermal lensing

narrow separation (e.g., 1086 and 1089 nm) resulting from transitions between the sublevels of two particular manifolds [1–5]. In contrast, Yb-ions have broad fluorescence spectra due to their relatively strong interactions between the electronic F5/2– F7/2 transitions and the host lattice vibrations. This makes them particularly attractive for generating dual-wavelength radiation with tunable ...

An Analytical Technique for Solving Nonlinear Oscillators of the Motion of a Rigid Rod Rocking Bock and Tapered Beams

In this paper, a new analytical approach has been presented for solving strongly nonlinear oscillator problems. Iteration perturbation method leads us to high accurate solution. Two different high nonlinear examples are also presented to show the application and accuracy of the presented method. The results are compared with analytical methods and with the numerical solution using Runge-Kutta m...

Periodic Solutions of the Duffing Harmonic Oscillator by He's Energy Balance Method

Duffing harmonic oscillator is a common model for nonlinear phenomena in science and engineering. This paper presents He´s Energy Balance Method (EBM) for solving nonlinear differential equations. Two strong nonlinear cases have been studied analytically. Analytical results of the EBM are compared with the solutions obtained by using He´s Frequency Amplitude Formulation (FAF) and numerical solu...
