Experiment Study on Active-passive Mode-locking Using Cr4+:YAG as Saturable Absorber

Cr4+:YAG crystal was used as a saturable absorber in an active-passive mode-locked Nd:YAG laser. The stable and complete mode-locked pulse train was achieved at 1064 nm. The duration of ～0.8 ns to 2.4 ns for a single pulse was obtained by using Cr4+:YAG crystals with the different initial transmissions, and there was a shortest pulse width. The mode-locking dynamic process of Cr4+:YAG crystal was discussed to explain the experimental result, and the effect of excited-state absorption was considered.     

Laser irradiation effects on gold

Investigations on the laser irradiation effects on gold are explored in terms of plasma-plume dynamics and morphological and crystallographic changes. Annealed 4N gold samples were irradiated with a Q-switched Nd:YAG laser (53 mJ, 21 MW, 532 nm, and pulse width 6–8 ns) for plume dynamics using 10-ns gated fast photography. A Q-switched pulsed Nd:YAG laser (10 mJ, 1.1 MW, 1064 nm, and pulse width 9 ns) was used to irradiate the surface of the samples for morphological and crystallographic studies of laser-irradiated gold in a vacuum ～10^?3 Torr. The annealed samples were exposed to 50 shots of a Nd:YAG laser (10 mJ, 1.1 MW, 1064 nm, and pulse width 9 ns). The investigation on the plume was done by using an intensified charged-couple device ICCD-5760/IR-UV camera. The morphological investigation of the irradiated surface was carried out by analyzing micrographs obtained using an Hitachi S 3000 H scanning-electron microscope (SEM). The crystallographic studies of the irradiated samples were performed by analyzing the XRD patterns obtained using an X’ Pert Pro Pan Analytical X-ray diffractometer. The investigation on gated ICCD images of the plume reveal that, at very earlier times, the plasma-plume expansion has a linear trend, whereas, at later times, the plasma-plume expansion is nonuniform. SEM micrographs exhibit the primary mechanisms of pulsed-laser ablation (PLA), such as hydrodynamic sputtering, thermal sputtering, exfoliation sputtering, and splashing. The surface morphology was explained in terms of crater formation, swelling, burning, nucleation, grain growth, and nonsymmetric heat conduction. The nonuniform thermal expansion of gold due to thermal-energy transfer is also studied by SEM micrographs, which was supported by XRD analysis. The structural analysis on the basis of XRD shows that the composition of the irradiated samples is not disturbed even after laser irradiation. The grain sizes also changed due to laser irradiation.     

High repetition rate,high peak power acousto-optical Q-switched 946 nm Nd:YAG laser

A diode-end-pumped high repetition rate, high peak power acousto-optical (AO) Q-switched 946 nm Nd:YAG laser was demonstrated in this paper. In our experiments, a 20 mm miniature acousto-optical Q-switch was employed in a 45 mm linear laser cavity for generating the short laser pulse. At a repetition rate of 10 kHz, a maximum average output power of 2.9 W was achieved with a pulse width of 24.4 ns, giving a peak power of 11.9 kW. To the best of our knowledge, this is the highest peak power 946 nm Nd:YAG laser at high repetition rate operation. Moreover, pulse train with good stability was also obtained at the repetition rate of 50 kHz. At an incident pump power of 22.3 W, up to an average output power of 3.5 W pulsed 946 nm laser was generated at 50 kHz with a pulse width of 69 ns, corresponding to an optical conversion efficiency of 15.7% and an average slope efficiency of 24.1%, respectively.

The average output power of 336 mW at Stokes wavelength was obtained under the laser diode pump power of 5.74 W. The corresponding optical efficiency from the diode light to the Raman output is 9.85%. The pulse width of 1.65 ns and a pulse repetition rate of 10 kHz were also obtained.

Photoluminescence of ZnO nanoparticles generated by laser ablation in deionized water

Zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles were synthesized using pulsed laser ablation of a Zn metal plate in deionized water without using surfactant. The beam of a Q-switched Nd:YAG laser of 1064-nm and 532-nm wavelengths at 6-ns pulse width and different fluences is employed to irradiate the solid target in water. Transmission electron microscopy images revealed that the size of the ZnO nanoparticles formed by the 532-nm wavelength laser beam is smaller than that of the nanoparticles generated by the 1064-nm wavelength laser beam. The room-temperature photoluminescence spectra of the ZnO nanoparticles show intense violet emission along with emission in blue and green bands. The excellent ultraviolet emission indicates that the ZnO nanostructures have a low defect concentration.
