A real-time method for monitoring the three-dimensional extent of high power cw laser beams

A simple and very accurate method is presented that allows not only one section of a cw laser beam to be studied in real-time but the full three-dimensional extent of its mode profile. The use of a ball-bearing to controllably defocus extremely high beam power densities in two planes is a novel approach which has been successfully used for beam measurements applied to laser-induced oxidation, and laser annealing of silicon. Although specifically applied to the infra-red regime, this technique may be extended to the study of visible radiation by using the appropriate detectors.     

Laser Accelerated, High Quality Ion Beams

Intense beams of protons and heavy ions have been observed in ultra-intense laser-solid interaction experiments. Thereby, a considerable fraction of the laser energy is transferred to collimated beams of energetic ions (e.g. up to 50 MeV protons; 100 MeV fluorine), which makes these beams highly interesting for various applications. Experimental results indicate very short pulse duration and an excellent beam quality, leading to beam intensities in the TW range. To characterize the beam quality and its dependence on laser parameters and target conditions, we performed experiments at several high-power laser systems. We found a strong dependence on the target rear surface conditions allowing to tailor the ion beam by an appropriate target design. We also succeeded in the generation of heavy ion beams by suppressing the proton amount at the target surface. We will present recent experimental results demonstrating a transverse beam emittance far superior to accelerator-based ion beams. Finally, we will discuss the prospect of laser-accelerated ion beams as new diagnostics in laser-solid interaction experiements. Special fields of interest are proton radiography, electric field imaging, and relativistic electron transport inside the target.

High-performance,compact, prismless,low-threshold 30-MHz Ti:Al2O3 laser

We describe the design and operation of a compact femtosecond Ti:Al2O3 laser based on a novel multipass cavity (MPC) design. The laser is all solid state, has prismless dispersion compensation with double-chirped mirrors, and uses a tight-focusing geometry to facilitate efficient low-threshold operation. We increase output pulse energies by extending the resonator length with a compact, scalable MPC, which preserves the characteristics of the Gaussian beam for the short cavity. Although the effective cavity length is approximately 5 m, an extremely compact laser that measures only 30 cm x 45 cm is achieved. With only 1.5 W of pump power, the laser generates 23-fs pulses at a repetition rate of 31.25 MHz and with 88 mW of average output power, corresponding to 2.8 nJ of pulse energy.     

Influence of spherical aberrations on the performance of dynamically stable resonators

Spherical aberrations of thermal lens of the active media are severe when the solid state lasers are strongly pumped. The aberrations influence the mode profile, the diffraction loss, the output power and other laser beam properties, especially for a dynamically stable resonator with large TEM₀₀-mode volume. Self-consistent modes in a resonator with aberrations are calculated using Fox-Li diffraction iterative algorithm. There are side lobes with the fundamental mode when the spherical aberration is introduced, hence the beam quality is deteriorated. The calculated results agree well with the experimental data. The beam filling factor plays an important role in the design of a laser system. The optimum value of the beam filling factor should be determined by the experimental results according to the spherical aberration effect.     

Dependence of the refractive power of Nd:YAG rods on the intracavity intensity

The refractive power of two flashlamp-pumped Nd:YAG rods was measured as being dependent on the output coupling of the resonator. With laser oscillation, the refractive power or thermal heat is decreased by up to 15% and a minimum occurs at a specific output coupling. The experimental results could be explained by a theoretical model assuming a non-radiative transition from the upper laser level to the ground state. The lifetime of this non-radiative transition decreases with increasing pumping power per pulse and, for pumping power higher than 100 kW, saturation at a value of 0.63 times the fluorescence lifetime occurs. The results indicate that the non-radiative process is caused by energy migration to flashlamp-induced transient quenching centres.
