Isizukulwana se-octave-spanning mid-infrared usebenzisa i-BGSe nonlinear crystal

UGqr.JINWEI ZHANG kunye neqela lakhe usebenzisa inkqubo ye-laser ye-Cr:ZnS ehambisa i-28-fs pulses kwi-wavelength ephakathi ye-2.4 µm isetyenziswa njengomthombo wempompo, oqhuba i-intra-pulse difference frequency generation ngaphakathi kwe-crystal ye-BGSe.Ngenxa yoko, ibroadband ehambelanayo ephakathi kwe-infrared eqhubekayo esuka kwi-6 ukuya kwi-18 µm ifunyenwe.Ibonisa ukuba i-crystal ye-BGSe sisixhobo esithembisayo se-broadband, isizukulwana esincinci se-infrared phakathi kwe-infrared ngokusebenzisa ukuguqulwa okuphindaphindiweyo kunye nemithombo yempompo ye-femtosecond.

Intshayelelo

Ukukhanya okuphakathi kwe-infrared (MIR) kuluhlu lwe-2-20 µm luluncedo ekuchongeni iikhemikhali kunye nebhayoloji ngenxa yobukho bemigca emininzi yokufunxa yemolekyuli kulo mmandla wokubonwayo.Umthombo ohambelanayo, wemijikelo embalwa kunye nokugubungela ngaxeshanye kuluhlu olubanzi lwe-MIR unokwenza ngakumbi usetyenziso olutsha olunje nge-mirco-spectroscopy, i-femtosecond pump-probe spectroscopy, kunye nemilinganiselo ebuthathaka yoluhlu oluphezulu. Ukuza kuthi ga ngoku uninzi lwezicwangciso
iphuhliswe ukuvelisa imitha ye-MIR ehambelanayo, efana nemigca ye-synchrotron ye-beam, i-quantum cascade lasers, imithombo ye-supercontinuum, i-oscillators ye-parametric oscillators (OPO) kunye ne-optical parametric amplifiers (OPA).Ezi zikimu zonke zinamandla kunye nobuthathaka bazo malunga nobunzima, i-bandwidth, amandla, ukusebenza kakuhle, kunye nobude be-pulse.Phakathi kwazo, i-intra-pulse difference frequency generation (IDFG) itsala umdla okhulayo wokubulela kuphuhliso lwamandla aphezulu e-femtosecond 2 µm lasers ezinokumpompa ngokufanelekileyo iikristale ezincinci ze-bandgap non-oxide nonlinear ukuvelisa amandla aphezulu ombane ohambelana nokukhanya kwe-MIR.Xa kuthelekiswa nee-OPO ezisetyenziswa ngokuqhelekileyo kunye nee-OPA, i-IDFG ivumela ukunciphisa ubunzima benkqubo kunye nokuphucula ukuthembeka, njengoko imfuno yokulungelelanisa iiplanga ezimbini ezihlukeneyo okanye i-cavities kwi-precision ephezulu isusiwe.Ngaphandle koko, imveliso ye-MIR i-intrinsically carrier-envelope-phase (CEP) izinzile kunye ne-IDFG.

Ukusekwa kovavanyo lwesizukulwana se-MIR ngeIkristale ye-BGSe.I-OAP, i-off-axis parabolic mirror kunye nobude bojoliso obusebenzayo obuyi-20 mm;I-HWP, i-half-wave plate;I-TFP, i-polarizer yefilimu encinci;I-LPF, icebo lokucoca ixesha elide.

Kwi-2010, i-crystal entsha ye-biaxial chalcogenide nonlinear, i-BaGa4Se7 (BGSe), yenziwe kusetyenziswa indlela ye-Bridgman-Stockbarger.Inoluhlu olubanzi lokungafihli ukusuka kwi-0.47 ukuya kwi-18 µm (njengoko kubonisiwe kwi-Fig. 1) kunye ne-nonlinear coefficients ye-d11 = 24.3 pm/V kunye ne-d13 = 20.4 pm/V.Ifestile ye-transparency ye-BGSe ibanzi kakhulu kune-ZGP kunye ne-LGS nangona ukungahambelani kwayo kungaphantsi kwe-ZGP (75 ± 8 pm/V).Ngokuchaseneyo ne-GaSe, i-BGSe inokusikwa kwi-angle efunekayo yokulinganisa isigaba kwaye inokuba yinto echasene ne-reflection.

Ukusetwa kovavanyo kubonakaliswe kumfanekiso wesi-2 (a).Iipulses zokuqhuba ziveliswa ekuqaleni kwimowudi ye-Kerr-lens eyakhelwe ekhaya-i-Cr: i-oscillator ye-ZnS ene-polycrystalline Cr: i-ZnS crystal (5 × 2 × 9 mm3, i-transmission = 15% kwi-1908nm) njengendlela yokufumana i-medium pumped by a. I-laser ye-fiber ye-Tm-doped kwi-1908nm.I-oscillation kwindawo yokuma yamaza ihambisa i-45-fs pulses esebenza kwizinga lokuphindaphinda kwe-69 MHz kunye namandla aphakathi kwe-1 W kwi-carrier wavelength ye-2.4 µm.Amandla akhuliswe ukuya kwi-3.3 W kwi-home-built-inqanaba lesibini-i-polycrystalline eyodwa-pass polycrystalline Cr: i-ZnS amplifier (5 × 2 × 6 mm3, ukuhanjiswa = 20% kwi-1908nm kunye ne-5 × 2 × 9 mm3, ukuhanjiswa = 15% I-1908nm), kunye nobude bexesha lokuphuma kwe-pulse kulinganiswa ne-home-built-harmonic-generation-generation frequency-resolved optical grating (SHG-FROG) i-apparatus.

DSC_0646Ukuqukumbela

Babonise umthombo we-MIR kunye neIkristale ye-BGSengokusekelwe kwindlela ye-IDFG.Inkqubo yelaser ye-femtosecond Cr:ZnS kumgama wamaza we-2.4 µm yasetyenziswa njengomthombo wokuqhuba, ivumela ukugqunywa kwembonakalo ngaxeshanye ukusuka kwi-6 ukuya kwi-18 µm.Ngokolwazi lwethu, esi sisihlandlo sokuqala i-broadband i-MIR isizukulwana siphunyezwa kwikristale ye-BGSe.Isiphumo silindeleke ukuba sibenexesha le-pulse emijikelezo embalwa kwaye izinzile kwinqanaba layo lokuthwala-imvulophu.Xa kuthelekiswa nezinye iikristale, isiphumo sokuqala ngeBGSeibonisa isizukulwana se-MIR esinobubanzi obuthelekisekayo obubanzi (ububanzi kunokoZGPkwayeLGS) nangona inamandla asezantsi kunye nokusebenza kokuguqulwa.Amandla omndilili ophezulu anokulindelwa ngokulungiswa okungaphezulu kobungakanani bendawo ekugxilwe kuyo kunye nobukhulu bekristale.Umgangatho ongcono wekristale kunye nomda womonakalo ophezulu unokuba luncedo ekwandiseni umndilili wamandla we-MIR kunye nokusebenza kakuhle koguqulo.Lo msebenzi ubonisa ukubaIkristale ye-BGSesisixhobo esithembisayo sebroadband, isizukulwana esihambelanayo seMIR.
