摘要: Laser sources of the present invention allow for the efficient generation of harmonic frequencies from broadband sources. Over-compression and under-compression of a split signal result in two beams chirped in opposite directions. These two beams may be combined in a non-linear crystal to generate a narrow-band harmonic signal from a broadband source.

摘要: A laser system includes one or more harmonic generator blocks or elements including one or more crystals for converting a first wavelength (λ1) laser beam into second, third and/or fourth wavelength (λ2, λ3 and/or λ4) laser beams that may be output, with or without the first wavelength (λ1) laser beam, on different beam paths. One or more of the first, second, third and/or fourth wavelength laser beams may travel or traverse in a crystal in one or multiple directions.

摘要: The invention relates to an arrangement and a method for efficient, non-linear light conversion. The object of the present invention of specifying an arrangement for efficient, non-linear light conversion, which simultaneously optimally fulfills the local conversion rate, the interaction scale, and the dispersive properties, is achieved in that the arrangement is provided in the form of a component, which comprises an optical waveguide or an optical fiber with or without cavities, wherein said arrangement consists of fiber cladding substrate or waveguide substrate (IV) with an adapted geometry, which defines the light-guiding properties of the fiber mode with designed dispersion properties (VI), and wherein the waveguide or the core carries a grown, atomically-thin layer of transition metal dichalcogenides in the form of crystallites, wherein this layer completely or partially covers the waveguide or the core.

摘要: A nonlinear crystal grating assembly including two integral nonlinear crystal grating structures having inverted crystal axes and having parallel spaced-apart mesas with predetermined mesa widths arranged such that, when assembled in an interdigitated configuration, the mesas of the two grating structures form an alternating grating pattern that is aligned with a propagation direction of input light, thereby creating a periodic structure for quasi-phase-matching (QPM). The nonlinear crystal grating structures are formed using strontium tetraborate, lithium triborate or another nonlinear crystal material. The nonlinear crystal grating assembly is utilized in a laser assembly in which fundamental wavelengths are doubled and/or summed using intermediate frequency conversion stages, and then a final frequency converting stage utilizes the nonlinear crystal grating assembly to double or sum one or more intermediate light beam frequencies to generate laser output light at high power and photon energy levels. A method and inspection system are also described.

摘要: The present invention relates to an electrically tunable photonic resonator device for a component having a fast and flat actuation response. The photonic resonator device includes at least one optical waveguide with an optical interface for coupling in laser light. The photonic resonator device includes at least one optical resonator including a waveguide made of an optical resonator material. A laser light coupled via the optical waveguide is coupled into at least one optical resonator.

摘要: A principle which enables the generation of macroscopic Fock and sub-Poissonian states is disclosed. Generic components of the system include: an electromagnetic structure (possessing one or more electromagnetic resonances), a nonlinear electromagnetic element (such as a nonlinear crystal near or inside the structure), and a source of light. In one embodiment, stimulated gain is used to create large numbers of photons in a cavity, but with very low photon number noise (uncertainty) in the cavity, and thus acts as a Fock laser. This Fock laser is capable of producing these states due to a very sharp intensity-dependent gain (or loss) that selects a particular photon number. The disclosed system and method are robust against both atomic and optical decoherence. Various examples of the new Fock laser design are also described.

摘要: An SrB4O7 or PbB4O7 crystal is configured with a plurality of domains with respective periodically alternating polarity of the crystal axis so that the disclosed crystal is capable of quasi-phasematching (QPM). The disclosed crystal is manufactured by a method including patterning a surface of a crystal block of SrB4O7 or PbB4O7, thereby providing patterned uniformly dimensioned regions with a uniform polarity sign on the surface. The method further includes generating a disturbance on the patterned surface, thereby inverting a sign of crystal polarity of every other region to form the SrB4O7 or SrB4O7 crystal with a plurality of domains with alternating polarity enabling a QPM mechanism.

摘要: Apparatus and methods for improved HHG of ultrashort pulse laser beams. A HHG assembly includes a gas distribution block and a waveguide cartridge having a HHG hollow core waveguide. The waveguide cartridge is attached to the gas distribution block and may be removed and replaced, while the gas distribution block remains affixed within the apparatus. The gas distribution block is configured to maintain a pressure profile within the hollow core fiber. The system also includes two operating beam sensors and two actuatable mirrors. The operating beam sensors are fixed with respect to the HHG assembly. The system is aligned before operation by adjusting the actuatable mirrors to optimize a sample beam through the waveguide and recording the position of the beam on the operating beam sensors. In operation, the mirrors are actuated to maintain the same positions of the input beam on the operating beam sensors.
