摘要: A third-harmonic generation method includes frequency-quadrupling a fundamental optical beam via cascaded second-harmonic generation to yield a fourth-harmonic optical beam. The method also includes down-converting the fourth-harmonic optical beam to yield a third-harmonic optical beam. A third harmonic generator includes a monolithic optical element having nonzero quadratic electric susceptibility to (i) frequency-quadruple a fundamental optical beam via cascaded second-harmonic generation, and (ii) down-convert a fourth-harmonic optical beam to yield a third-harmonic optical beam.

摘要: Methods, devices and systems for improving single-frequency operation of diode lasers are described. One such method includes ramping up an operational current of a diode laser for a first predetermined number of steps, and measuring an associated current value indicative of optical power within the laser diode for each of the first predetermined number of steps. Next, operational current of the diode laser is ramped down for a second predetermined number of steps, and an associated current value indicative of optical power within the laser diode is measured for each of the second predetermined number of steps. Using the measured data current values at which a mode hop or a multimode operation is likely to occur are identified, and a contiguous range of operating currents that is devoid of identified likely mode hops or multimode regions of operation is determined as the operating current range of the diode laser.

摘要: An optical parametric oscillator (OPO) system comprises an optical waveguide including a hollow core containing a fluid, wherein the optical waveguide is configured to receive pump light and to convert the pump light into signal light and idler light via a third order non-linear optical effect. The OPO system further comprises an optical feedback arrangement for recycling at least a portion of the signal light and/or for recycling at least a portion of the idler light in an optical cavity that includes the optical waveguide. The OPO system may be used, in particular though not exclusively, in metrology, gas and solid-state spectroscopy, laser-assisted manufacturing, semiconductor technology, biomedicine, healthcare, and scientific laboratory use.

摘要: Disclosed is an illumination source comprising a gas delivery system comprising a gas nozzle. The gas nozzle comprises an opening in an exit plane of the gas nozzle. The gas delivery system is configured to provide a gas flow from the opening for generating an emitted radiation at an interaction region. The illumination source is configured to receive a pump radiation having a propagation direction and to provide the pump radiation in the gas flow. A geometry shape of the gas nozzle is adapted to shape a profile of the gas flow such that gas density of the gas flow first increases to a maximum value and subsequently falls sharply in a cut-off region along the propagation direction.

摘要: A light processing apparatus includes a first non-linear crystal disk for transmitting a first beam of photons having a first frequency to a second beam of photons having the first frequency and a second frequency oscillating in polarization directions orthogonal to each other, the second frequency being a half of the first frequency. Further included is a waveplate for transmitting the second beam of photons to a third beam of photons by rotating polarization directions of the second beam of photons such that the photons of the first frequency and of the second frequency oscillate in the same polarization directions. A second non-linear crystal disk is configured to transmit the third beam of photons to a fourth beam of photons of the first frequency, the second frequency and a third frequency, the third frequency being approximate a third of the first frequency.

摘要: The disclosed laser system is configured with a laser source outputting light at a fundamental frequency. The output light is incident on a frequency converter operative to convert the fundamental frequency to a higher harmonic including at least one frequency converting stage. The frequency converter is based on a SrB4O7 (SBO) or PbB4O7 (PBO) nonlinear crystal configured with a plurality of domains. The domains have periodically alternating polarity of the crystal axis enabling a QPM use and formed with each with highly parallel walls which deviate from one another less than 1 micron over a 10 mm distance.

摘要: A frequency conversion laser system is configured with a single mode (SM) laser source outputting a pulsed pump beam at a fundamental frequency and a nonlinear optical system operating to convert the fundamental frequency sequentially to a second harmonic (SH) and then third harmonic (TH). The nonlinear optical system includes an elongated SHG crystal traversed by the SM pulsed pump beam which generates the SH beam. The SHG crystal has an output surface inclined relative to a longitudinal axis of the SHG crystal at a first wedge angle different from a right angle. The nonlinear optical system further has an elongated THG crystal with an input surface which is impinged upon by a remainder of the pump and SHG beams which propagate through the THG crystal at a walk-off angle therebetween to generate a third harmonic (TH) beam, the input surface of the THG crystal being inclined to a longitudinal axis of the THG crystal at a second wedge angle. The output and input surfaces of respective SHG and THG crystals are inclined so as to minimize the walk-off angle between SH and IR pointing vectors in the THG crystal thereby improving the conversion efficiency and TH output beam's ellipticity.
