    摘要: A photonic device is configured with a photonic integrated circuit (PIC), a plurality of fiber-based gain mediums in optical communication with the PIC, and at least one optical pump outputting pump light coupled into two or more gain mediums, At least one of the fiber-based gain media and the PIC form a hybrid resonant optical cavity there between operative to lase light into the PIC. The gain media further include one or more fiber amplifiers amplifying light signals coupled into and decoupled from the PIC. The photonic device is integrated with Si photonic passive and active photonic elements, while all fiber links between the gain media and PIC are free from these elements.

    摘要: An optical parametric device (OPD), which is selected from an optical parametric oscillator (OPO) or optical parametric generator (OPG), is configured with a nonlinear optical element (NOE) which converts an incoupled pump radiation at first frequency into output signal and idler radiations at one second frequency or different second frequencies, which is/are lower than the first frequency, by utilizing nonlinear interaction via a random quasi-phase matching process (RQPM-NOE). The NOE is made from a nonlinear optical material selected from optical ceramics, polycrystals, micro and nanocrystals, colloids of micro and nanocrystals, and composites of micro and nanocrystals in polymer or glassy matrices. The nonlinear optical material is prepared by modifying a microstructure of the initial sample of the NOE such that an average grain size is of the order of a coherence length of the three-wave interaction which enables the three wave nonlinear interaction with a highest parametric gain achievable via the RQPM process

    摘要: The ultra-short pulse chirped pulse amplification (CPA) laser system and method of operating CPA laser system include outputting nearly transform limited (TL) pulses by a mode locked laser. The system and method further include temporarily stretching the TL pulses by a first Bragg grating providing thus each stretched pulse with a chirp which is further compensated for in a second Bragg grating operating as as a compressor. The laser system and method further include a pulse shaping unit measuring a spectral phase across the recompressed pulse and further adjusting the deviation of the measured spectral phase from that of the TL pulse by generating a corrective signal. The corrective signal is applied to the array of actuators coupled to respective segments of one of the BGs which are selectively actuated to induce the desired phase change, with the one BG thus operating as both stretcher/compressor and pulse shaper.

    摘要: Laser processing systems and methods image a multiple core array to a work surface in a multiple processing beam array. An optical system separates processing beams and converges the beams toward the work surface and focuses each beam of the array at or near the work surface. A central axis with access for filler material flow to the work surface is provided. The processing beam array and central filler material feed provide omni-directional additive laser processing capability.

    摘要: The disclosed method and handheld analyzer of elemental concentration measurement is based on spectral analysis of high temperature highly ionized plasma generated by laser-generated pulses. Due to a high pulse energy and short pulse duration, high intensity singly and multiply charged ion lines in addition to neutral atomic lines are excited. The pulsed laser source of the disclosed analyzer is configured to output a train of pulses of signal light at a 1.5-1.6 signal wavelength at a pulse repetition rate from 0.1 to 50 kHz, pulses duration from 0.01 to 1.5 ns, pulse energy between 100 and 1000 uJ and has a beam spot on the surface of the sample varying 1 to 60 μm. The above-described parameters provide at least a 20 GW/cm 2 laser power density sufficient to induce a high temperature, highly ionized plasma (plasma) which allows measuring the carbon concentration in carbon steels by employing doubly charged ionic line CIII with a detection limit down to 0.01% and other elements commonly present in carbon steels with detection limit below 0.01%.
