Observation of the complex propagation of a femtosecond laser pulse in a dispersive transparent bulk material
نویسندگان
چکیده
Pulse shapes in a dispersive transparent material modulated by group-velocity dispersion, self-phase modulation, and self-focusing induced by a femtosecond laser light were observed directly with femtosecond timeresolved optical polarigraphy probing the induced instantaneous birefringence. The first observation of the state of femtosecond laser pulses about the interaction region inside the transparent bulk material indicated that the pulse propagation was accomplished with a multiple conelike structure that was hypothesized from a numerical simulation with an extended nonlinear Schrödinger equation. © 2003 Optical Society of America OCIS codes: 320.2250, 260.1440, 320.7100, 350.5500, 140.3440.

The study of propagation of a femtosecond laser pulse in the breast tissue
In this paper, the evaluation of time profile of a femtosecond pulse laser propagated through biological tissues is studied. The majority of the biological tissues with a high scattering anisotropy must be considered as turbid media, that their optical responses are complicated. To study the propagation of ultra-short pulse in turbid media, the diffuse equation is used. In this study, the analy...

In this paper, the propagation of a Gaussian and femtosecond laser pulse through a plasma channel is considered and the amount of induced chirp, as well as it’s type, on laser pulse frequency has been investigated. The group velocity dispersion (GVD) and relativistic effects has been taken into account in propagation equations. It is concluded that the relativistic effect induces positive chirp...

متن کاملFemtosecond micromachining in transparent bulk materials using an anamorphic lens.
A unique anamorphic lens design was applied to a circular 780nm femtosecond laser pulse to transform it into an elliptically shaped beam at focus. This lens was developed to give an alternative method of micromachining bulk transparent materials. The challenge for femtosecond laser processing is to control the nonlinear affect of self-focusing, which can occur when using a fast f-number lens. O...
متن کاملStructural Modification of Amorphous Fused Silica under Femtosecond Laser Irradiation
Non-linear absorption of femtosecond laser pulses enables the induction of structural changes in the interior of bulk transparent materials without affecting their surface. This property can be exploited for the transmission welding of transparent dielectrics, three dimensional optical data storages and waveguides. In the present study, femtosecond laser pulses were tightly focused within the i...
