摘要: A carbon dioxide gas-discharge slab-laser is assembled in a laser-housing. The laser-housing is formed from a hollow extrusion. An interior surface of the extrusion provides a ground electrode of the laser. Another live electrode is located within the extrusion, electrically insulated from and parallel to the ground electrode, forming a discharge-gap of the slab-laser. The electrodes are spaced apart by parallel ceramic strips. Neither the extrusion, nor the live electrode, include fluid coolant channels. The laser-housing is cooled by fluid-cooled plates attached to the outside thereof.

摘要: A system and a method for generating tunable ultrafast optical pulses, the method comprising spectral broadening of a laser input beam by propagating the laser input beam in a nonlinear medium of a third-order nonlinear susceptibility χ(3), yielding an output laser spectrum; and one of: i) selecting at least one portion of the output laser spectrum, yielding an output pulse different than the input pulse and centered at a different frequency; ii) temporal compensation and spatial spreading of spectral components of the output laser spectrum; selecting two pulses at two different frequencies; and nonlinearly mixing the two pulses together in a first second-order nonlinear susceptibility χ(2) nonlinear crystal into a third pulse centered at a frequency which is a difference between the frequencies of the first two pulses; and iii) dividing output laser spectrum into a pump beam and a probe beam, directing a pump pulse to a third second-order nonlinear crystal for THz radiation generation; and directing a probe pulse to a third second-order nonlinear crystal for THz radiation reconstruction.

摘要: A laser chamber may include a first discharge electrode, a second discharge electrode, a fan making a laser gas flow through a discharge space between the first and second discharge electrodes, a first insulating member disposed on upstream side and downstream side of the first discharge electrode in the laser gas flow, a first metal damper member disposed on upstream side of the second discharge electrode and a second insulating member disposed on downstream side of the second discharge electrode in the laser gas flow, and a second metal damper member disposed on downstream side of the second insulating member in the laser gas flow. In a boundary portion between the second metal damper member and the second insulating member, a first discharge space side surface of the second metal damper member may be located further toward the opposite side to the discharge space than a second discharge space side surface of the second insulating member. A first corner formed by the first surface and a first side surface of the second metal damper member, the first side surface being on the side of the second insulating member, may be in contact with a second side surface of the second insulating member, the second side surface being on the side of the second metal damper member.

摘要: An optical element includes an optical waveguide layer. The optical waveguide includes a periodic structure of grooves. The optical waveguide layer has a layer-thickness equal to or greater than 1.5 μm and is made of material selected from a group consisting of Ta2O5, Al2O3, LiNbO3, LiTaO3, AlN, GaN, SiC, and Yttrium aluminum garnet (YAG). (D/0.5Λ)≥2.5 is satisfied where D indicates the depth of groove; and Λ indicates the pitch of the arranged grooves in the periodic structure. The unit of Λ is identical to the unit of D.

摘要: Kinematic mounts have three points having zero degree of freedom, one degree of freedom, and two degrees of freedom, respectively. As viewed from a direction perpendicular to a plane containing the three points, an extension of an entrance optical axis of a laser beam to an amplifying apparatus or an extension of an exit optical axis from the amplifying apparatus is oriented to the point with the zero degree of freedom. A translational direction of the point with the one degree of freedom is oriented to the point with the zero degree of freedom. One of the extension of the entrance optical axis and the extension of the exist optical axis passes on a side closer to the point with the two degrees of freedom with respect to a side of the point with the one degree of freedom.

摘要: A new optically pumped far infrared (FIR) laser with separate pump beam reflector and FIR output coupler is developed. The configuration of the new FIR laser greatly simplifies the tuning of the laser and enables the optimization of the pump beam absorption without affecting the laser alignment.
