Research Investigation of the Generation, Measurement, and Properties of Picosecond Laser Pulses
Author: William H. Glenn
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 105
Book Description
The report summarizes a number of research projects concerned with the generation, measurement, and properties of picosecond laser pulses produced by mode-locked lasers. Topics discussed include a theory of the two photon absorption-fluorescence method of pulse width measurement, a statistical model of the mode-locking process that is capable of explaining many of the observed features, a comparison of the model with experimental results, experiments with time-resolved spectroscopy and experiments with a novel type of nonlinear optical element that is potentially useful for mode-locking.

Ultrashort Light Pulses
Author: S.L. Shapiro
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 3662225743
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 397
Book Description
Soon after the invention of the laser, a brand-new area of endeavour emerged after the discovery that powerful ultrashort (picosecond) light pulses could be extracted from some lasers. Chemists, physicists, and engineers quickly recognized that such pulses would allow direct temporal studies of extremely rapid phenomena requiring, however, development of revolutionary ultrafast optical and electronic devices. For basic research the development of picosecond pulses was highly important because experimentalists were now able to measure directly the motions of atoms and molecules in liquids and solids: by disrupting a material from equilibrium with an intense picosecond pulse and then recording the time of return to the equilibrium state by picosecond techniques. Studies of picosecond laser pulses-their generation and diagnostic tech niques-are still undergoing a fairly rapid expansion, but a critical review of the state of the art by experienced workers in the field may be a timely help to new experimentalists. We shall review the sophisticated tools developed in the last ten years, including the modelocked picosecond-pulse-emitting lasers, the picosecond detection techniques, and picosecond devices. Moreover, we shall outline the basic foundations for the study of rapid events in chemistry and physics, which have emerged after many interesting experiments and which are now being applied in biology. An in-depth coverage of various aspects of the picosecond field should be helpful to scientists and engineers alike.

Studies of Optical Augmentation With Picosecond Pulses. Picosecond Pulses for Resolution of Optical Elements by Retroreflection

Pages : 0
Book Description
Picosecond optical pulses generated by a neodymium-glass mode- locked laser were employed in laboratory measurements of the retro-reflection from optical surfaces. These measurements were directed at a determination of the minimum separation distance between surfaces which could be resolved using either a photodiode or an image converter camera for detection. A minimum resolvable distance of 7.5 cm was obtained with a photodiode, and the camera yielded a value of 1.5 cm. In addition calculations have been made of the range at which the retroreflection technique may be employed for analyzing optical elements using short pulses. Ranges of several kilometers appear feasible.

The Study of the Interaction of Intense Picosecond Light Pulses with Materials
Author: Chi Hsing Lee
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 15
Book Description
The report contains the summary of the works performed in the entire period of this grant. The two-photon and three-photon photoconductivity effects in various semiconductors were studied. The effect was then applied to measure the ultrashort optical pulses. Two-photon pump GaAs bulk laser action was demonstrated. A theoretical calculation on the optical third harmonic generation with broad band picosecond pulses was made. Finally various aspects of the nonlinear optical interaction at the boundary of nonlinear media were investigated. The data agreed well with Bloembergen and Pershan's theory. The observation of the nonlinear Brewster's angle was reported for the first time in a transparent medium. (Author).
