【摘要】 基于非共线光参量放大(NOPA),以宽带794nm飞秒激光的倍频光为抽运光,以连续的He-Ne激光为信号光,产生了与宽带794nm飞秒激光精确同步的无直流背底的1064nm的脉冲光.实验结果显示该1064nm的光脉冲可作为光参量啁啾脉冲放大系统的抽运激光链的种子光,从而实现用全光学方法实现OPCPA系统抽运光和信号光的精确同步.还将非共线光参量放大器置于经特殊设计的He-Ne激光腔内,也同样成功得到了无直流背底的1064nm的光脉冲.经一次光参量放大后所得到的1064nm光的光谱和空间啁啾特性与非共线光参量放大器置于He-Ne激光腔外时得到的1064nm的光脉冲相同,而其单脉冲能量约为腔外NOPA的10倍.更多还原

【Abstract】 This paper reports on generation of background-free pulses at 1064nm accurately synchronized with femtosecond pulses at 794 nm, by the use of a continuous-wave He-Ne laser seeded non-collinear optical parametric amplification (NOPA) pumped by frequency-doubled Ti:sapphire femtosecond laser at 396nm. Experimental results showed that the 1064 nm light pulses can be used as the pump seed for optical parametric chirped pulse amplification to realize an all-optical synchronization between pump and signal beams. Background-free pulses at 1064 nm could also be generated by using a NOPA with continuous-wave seed from the intracavity 632.8 nm light of an appropriate He-Ne cavity. The spectral and spatial chirp properties of the idler pulses were quite similar in both cases according to our measurements. The generated idler pulses in the intracavity seed case have single pulse energy 10 times that of the external cavity case.更多还原
