Abstract:
Considering the fact that power injection factor of the input signal is hard to evaluate when gain saturation is analyzed with existing rate equation models of vertical cavity semiconductor optical amplifier(VCSOA) according to the boundary condition of Fabry-Perot resonator,a gain model of VCSOA is established by using traveling-wave equation and position dependent carrier equation and employing gain enhancement factor which varies with axial position to describe the standing wave effect in a micro-cavity.After finding the self-consistent solution of equations based on the model,the distributions of carrier and photon in cavity are presented.Meanwhile,the reflection gain is investigated and agrees with the theoretical and experimental data.

Abstract:
The UV optical probe at xingguang-Ⅱ laser installations is pumped by a sub-laser beam.A pulse of 800ps with 1054nm wavelength is converted into an output UV pulse with 1mJ energy,60ps pulse-width and 308nm wavelength through stimulated Raman frequency conversion.The obtained UV laser pulse can be used as the lamp-house for laser plasma diagnosis.The original optical probe can't run steady because of poor quality and structure instability.In order to enhance the quality and stability,engineering alteration is performed on the original system.Experiment results prove that the optical probe can output an uniform pulse with 1mJ energy 30ps pulse-width,and it can operate steadily with stabilization rate over 90%,which meets the requirement of the probe lamp-house for laser plasma diagnosis.

Abstract:
It is studied the defect mode and bistability properties of a nonlinear medium sandwiched between Bragg reflectors composed of one-dimensional photonic crystal by numerical calculation and theoretical analysis.The influence of defect layer thickness and quasi-periodic Bragg reflectors on defect mode and bistability is discussed.It is revealed that the defect mode shift to lower frequency when the increasing thickness of defect layer or refractive index of Bragg reflectors.Hence microcavity resonant mode is superposition with incident wave mode at lower incident intensity,and produce the bistability with lower threshold.The numerical calculation results accord with theoretical analysis.It is significant for design of photonic crystal microcavity.

ZHONG Xian-qiong, XIANG An-ping, CHEN Jian-guo, MA Zai-ru
2006, 30(5): 479-482.
Abstract:
The aim of the paper is to study the effect of the quintic nonlinearity of an optical fiber on the propagation of optical pulses.Utilizing the cubic-quintic nonlinear Schrdinger equation in which the dispersion of optical fibers is neglected,the nonlinear phase shifts and frequency chirps of super-Gaussian optical pulses are calculated and investigated analytically.The power spectra of optical pulses are numerically simulated as well.The results show that the positive quintic nonlinear refractive index makes the nonlinear phase shifts and the maximum frequency chirps of optical pulses larger,the spectral width of unchirped optical pulses wider and the number of spectral peaks more than those of cubic nonlinear refractive index.The influence of initial chirps of Gaussian optical pulses on the spectra is similar to that of cubic nonlinear refractive index.In case of the negative quintic nonlinear refractive index,the nonlinear phase shifts and frequency chirps take on new characteristics.The negative quintic nonlinear refractive index also makes the width of unchirped optical pulses narrower and the number of spectral peaks less.

2006, 30(5): 483-485.
Abstract:
A new kind of real-time power control system of fast flow CO2 lasers is developed to improve the stability of laser power,which is composed of two parts:sampling unit and feedback control unit.In the sampling unit,an infrared detector is used to sample the laser power output from the rear mirror of the resonator.With an attenuator inserted between the detector and the rear mirror to prevent the detector from damage by the laser.In the feedback control system,the sampling signal is compared with the setting reference value,and the discharge current is automatically adjusted to make the output laser power stable around the setting power.The experimental results indicate that this system can automatically control the laser power on line,and greatly enhance the stability and accuracy of the laser power without any accessory inserted in the output laser path.This system has been successfully used in a 4kW fast-flow CO2 laser with much better output power stability of ±0.1%.

Abstract:
In the field of laser radiation protection and photoelectric countermeasure,it is important to find out the laser damaged characteristics of photovoltaic detectors.Considering the damaged area and the open circuit voltage,different performance of pulse laser induced damage to photovoltaic detectors in vacuum and atmosphere environments is investigated.The measuring object is uncovered 2CR 10×2.5 four-quadrant silicon photo cell and the irradiation source is 1064nm wavelength pulsed solid-state Nd:YAG laser.In both vacuum and atmosphere,the damage threshold and damage spot appearance of the photovoltaic detector are discussed under single pulse or multi-pulse laser irradiation.The difference of the damage area and their influence on the photovoltaic detector are compared experimentally in both environments.The results show that the laser induced damage threshold in vacuum is obviously lower than that in atmosphere.It is about forty percent of that in atmosphere under the experimental condition.

2006, 30(5): 501-503.
Abstract:
A gain-switched Cr4+:Mg2SiO4 laser pumped by a 1.06μm Q-switched laser pulse with lower energy is investigated.By numerically solving the rate equations and choosing the suitable initial conditions,the temporal profile of the(1.22μm) laser pulse is obtained.Simultaneously the relations of the buildup time and the pulse-duration of the 1.22μm laser with the pump energy are achieved respectively and the theoretical and experimental results basically coincide with each other.When the energy and the pulse-duration of the pump laser pulse are 45mJ and 30ns respectively,a 1.22μm laser pulse is achieved with the energy of 7mJ and the pulse-duration of 8.2ns.The pulse-duration of the output laser is nearly a quarter of that of the pump laser and the transfer efficiency is 15.5%.The numerical calculation and the experimental results show that both the buildup time and pulse-duration decreased as the pump energy increasing.

2006, 30(5): 504-506.
Abstract:
Photonic crystals were the new artificial complex media during the last decades,however its transmission property might change a lot if new material with negative refraction index are inserted.The main properties of the band gap and dispersion structure of the one-dimensional photonic crystal,whose each period consisting of one layer of a usual material and one layer of negative refractive material,are studied based on Maxwell equation and Bloch theory.Our analysis results show it possible to make the band gap of the periodically-layered photonic crystals wider than the usual material,which offers a possibility to design photonic band gap structure with wide stop bands.
