Download or read book Absolute Two Photon Absorption Coefficients in UltraViolet Window Materials written by N. Bloembergen and published by . This book was released on 1977 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The absolute two-photon absorption coefficients of u.v. transmitting materials have been measured using well-calibrated single picosecond pulses, at the third and fourth harmonic of a mode locked Nd:YAG laser systems. Two-photon absorption coefficients of the order of .001 cm/MW were measured for alkali-halides, and .0001 cm/MW for harmonic generating crystals. In materials with band gap greater than 2 h-bar omega, no nonlinear absorption could be observed. Calculations based on the Keldysh theory with one adjustable parameter agree quite well with the experimentally observed dispersions in the two-photon absorption coefficients. The effect of multi-photon absorption on the conversion efficiency of harmonic generating crystals and on the breakdown of u.v. window materials is also discussed. (Author).

Download or read book Handbook of Optical Materials written by Marvin J. Weber and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2018-10-08 with total page 564 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For years scientists turned to the CRC Handbook of Laser Science & Technology for reliable data on optical materials. Out of print for several years, that standard-setting work now has a successor: the Handbook of Optical Materials. This new handbook is an authoritative compilation of the physical properties of materials used in all types of lasers and optical systems. In it, scientist, author, and editor Dr. Marvin J. Weber provides extensive data tabulations and references for the most important optical materials, including crystals, glasses, polymers, metals, liquids, and gases. The properties detailed include both linear and nonlinear optical properties, mechanical properties, thermal properties together with many additional special properties, such as electro-, magneto-, and elasto-optic properties. Using a minimum of narration and logically organized by material properties, the handbook's unique presentation simplifies the process of comparing different materials for their suitability in particular applications. Appendices furnish a wealth of other useful information, including lists of the many abbreviations and acronyms that proliferate in this field. The Handbook of Optical Materials is simply the most complete one-stop source available for materials data essential to lasers and optical systems.

Download or read book Experimental Determination of Two Photon and Other Nonlinear Absorption in Ultraviolet and Infrared Window Materials written by N. Bloembergen and published by . This book was released on 1977 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Experimental determination of two photon absorption cross section in a variety of window materials is carried out with picosecond harmonic pulses from a mode-locked Nd-YAG laser system, with nanosecond pulses from a combined ruby-dye laser system, and with a subnanosecond CO2-laser pulses. The measurements at 10 micrometers concentrate on the properties of the conduction and valence band of InSb. The measurements of the two photon absorption cross section in the near and far ultraviolet have covered a series of alkali halides, and will be extended to other fluoride and oxide UV window materials.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Charles S. Sahagian Chief, Electromagnetic Materials Technology Branch Deputy for Electronic Technology Hanscom AFB, MA 01731 I t should not be surprising that an event as significant as the discovery of the laser has had some con comitant impact on other areas of science and technology, but the extent of the impact was grossly unpredicted. Upon perusal of this bibliography, devoted to the subject of laser window and mirror materials, it becomes very apparent that the effect of the laser on materials R&D has been enormous. Several hundred papers and reports, representing millions of dollars of effort, have been promulgated over the past decade; and as new frequencies, improved tunability, higher power, and other charac teristics are achieved, we can expect even greater demands and requirements on the materials com munity. What are some of the highlights disclosec by this bibliography with regard to work already ac complished? First, one can note the extensive investigations into developing new materials while at the same time improving old ones. Among the latter, alkali halides, for example, have essentially had a rebirth. I n the past five years more progress has been achieved in the chemical and structural perfec tion of this class of materials than in the entire preceding century. Also carried along in the surge for improved laser materials have been the alkaline earth fluorides (prime candidates for 3-to 5-J,Lm ap plications), chalcogenides, semiconductors, oxides, and others.
