This book was released on 1993 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We report the generation and measurement of 804 nm pulses with durations as short as 20 fs and with peak powers as high as 500 kW from a regeneratively initiated, self-mode-locked Ti:sapphire laser. Pulse duration is shown to decrease, and spectral content to increase, as intracavity power is increased. Control of intracavity focusing and a high-modulation-depth, acousto- optic modulator allow the intracavity power to be maximized. Cavity cubic phase error is minimized by correct design and placement of a GDD compensating prism pair. Methods for accurate determination of the pulse duration without assumption of pulse shape are discussed. Interferometric autocorrelation is accomplished with an interferometer which intrinsically balances dispersion and loss in each arm. Techniques for eliminating pulse distortions during amplification are also presented.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The design, construction, and use of high peak power infrared laser pulses for the generation of diagnostic (20 keV to 150 keV) x-rays are discussed. A review of recent laser-plasma generation of diagnostic x-rays is presented. The advantages of such sources include subpicosecond pulse duration and extremely small source size. Because of their short duration, it shoud be possible to form time-gated medical images with up to eight times less x-ray flux than with conventional x-ray sources. Details of a next generation laser driver are also presented. Generation of 20-fs pulses from a regeneratively initiated, self-mode-locked Ti: Sapphire laser is described. Techniques for amplification of these pulses to peak powers of 5 TW are presented.

This book was released on 2006-06-15 with total page 373 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the last few years, there has been a convergence between the fields of ultrafast science, nonlinear optics, optical frequency metrology, and precision laser spectroscopy. These fields have been developing largely independently since the birth of the laser, reaching remarkable levels of performance. On the ultrafast frontier, pulses of only a few cycles long have been produced, while in optical spectroscopy, the precision and resolution have reached one part in Although these two achievements appear to be completely disconnected, advances in nonlinear optics provided the essential link between them. The resulting convergence has enabled unprecedented advances in the control of the electric field of the pulses produced by femtosecond mode-locked lasers. The corresponding spectrum consists of a comb of sharp spectral lines with well-defined frequencies. These new techniques and capabilities are generally known as “femtosecond comb technology. ” They have had dramatic impact on the diverse fields of precision measurement and extreme nonlinear optical physics. The historical background for these developments is provided in the Foreword by two of the pioneers of laser spectroscopy, John Hall and Theodor Hänsch. Indeed the developments described in this book were foreshadowed by Hänsch’s early work in the 1970s when he used picosecond pulses to demonstrate the connection between the time and frequency domains in laser spectroscopy. This work complemented the advances in precision laser stabilization developed by Hall.
