摘要: A fully programmable laser field shaping apparatus that can configure a beam of laser pulses in both shape and time to generate laser pulses with varying spatio-temporal profiles for adaptive nonlinear optical propagation. The laser field shaping scheme in accordance with the present invention, Adaptive Spatio-Temporal Optical Pulse Shaper (A-STOPS), utilizes dispersive elements and a programmable spatial varying optical element (e.g. deformable mirror, spatial light modulator, etc.) to impose spatial variations on each frequency component of a laser pulse. Each frequency component maps directly to a temporal slice within a chirped laser pulse. The result is the ability to generate complex spatio-temporal variation on a laser pulse with wide ranging applications in linear and nonlinear optics.

摘要: A laser architecture for selectively producing short high-energy laser pulses having octave-spanning, continuous tunability. Two oppositely chirped pulses are used in combination with a pair of tunable pulse stretcher/compressors to produce a short, high-energy, tunable, broadband pulse.

摘要: A plurality of gas jet nozzles having equal angular separation around a central axis eject gas flows towards the central axis. The gas flows collide and form a gas channel from the neutral gas, the gas channel having a gas density depression at the center of the intersecting gas flow, where the gas density depression is surrounded by a higher density gaseous wall along the central axis. Ionization of the gas in the center produces a plasma channel that can guide a laser pulse fired into the gas along the central axis. The geometric arrangement of the gas jets and/or the backing pressure of the gas flows are configured to produce a gas channel having a predetermined density profile such that the ionized gas forms a plasma channel laser guiding structure configured to guide a laser pulse having predetermined spatial parameters.
