Efficient optical pumping of small volumes of bulk laser glass needs high pump extinction in the laser medium, i.e. as high Yb concentration as technologically possible. The main problem in this case is to avoid crystallization of the concentrated glasses. Our search for a stable concentrated glass composition resulted in developing a technologically producible Yb-Er glass containing 4.2/spl times/10/sup 21/ cm/sup -3/ of ytterbium ions about twice as usually used in commercially available laser glasses. This feature makes efficient pumping of small (2-3 mm) laser rods easily possible without bothering about the exact pump wavelength (in the range from /spl sim/850 to 1000 nm) and without LD array thermal stabilization. A secondary goal was the development of a new Yb-Er activated laser glass that should combine good laser efficiency and sufficiently higher thermo-mechanical properties them the available ones. We have investigated another cobalt-doped material for passive Q-switching of erbium glass lasers: magnesium-aluminum spinel MgAl/sub 2/O/sub 4/ grown by a number of methods: Czochralski, flux and Verneuil.","PeriodicalId":368970,"journal":{"name":"5th International Workshop on Laser and Fiber-Optical Networks Modeling, 2003.

Laser system consists of master oscillator, two exploding amplifiers at working mixture 25 Torr C/sub 3/F/sub 7/I+125 Torr Xe and amplifier aperture 15 cm, and SBS mirror. SBS mirror consists of an angular selector of Stokes radiation, an ordered raster of small diffraction lenses, a main focusing lens, and a SBS cell. The calculation model and computer code package take into account actual three-dimensionality of space, nonsteady-state and transient effects at SBS and laser amplifications. An optimal configuration of the SBS mirror is used that possesses unique properties if compared to the current SBS mirrors. It stably gives a nearly ideal quality of PC at any reflection coefficient that has been experimentally confirmed. A good agreement of calculated results with experimental data has been shown in energy, time dependence of power and Strehl number of EPDL radiation. The EPDL has output energy of about 400 J and brightness of about 10/sup 12/J/ster. It has been found that under rising input signal of the master oscillator, the brightness of the EPDL increases whereas the full energy varies relatively slightly. It has been shown that parasitic reflections of laser radiation from the elements of the optical scheme with a coefficient exceeding 10/sup -7/ considerably decrease the axial brightness of output radiation. In order to reduce the harmful effect of parasitic reflections on brightness, the distance between the amplifiers should be increased.","PeriodicalId":368970,"journal":{"name":"5th International Workshop on Laser and Fiber-Optical Networks Modeling, 2003.

The processes of summation-subtraction of frequencies of Bessel light beams (BLB) allow not only to tune a wavelength of laser radiation, but also to change the order of screw wavefront dislocations. Unlike Gaussian beams, Bessel beams permit to realize a multichannel nonlinear process, determined by the type of vector interaction. In the report the results of analytical examination and numerical simulation of multichannel nonlinear processes are presented on the example of SHG pumped by BLB. The fields at the fundamental and doubled frequencies in each channel are BLBs with different longitudinal and transverse wave numbers. Thereof each of SHG channels is characterized by the parameters of phase-mismatch and overlap integral. The given parameters express the requirements of longitudinal and transverse SHG phase-matching and determine the efficiency and spatial structure of radiation of the second harmonics. As a result, the SHG process, for example, of oo-e type, is described by a system of 2M coupled equations of the parabolic type, where M is the number of generation channels. The numerical solution of the given system of equations is carried out and the spatially-angular structure of the second harmonics field is obtained depending on the radial wave number and the width of input BLB at the fundamental frequency, its power, and also parameters of a nonlinear crystal. The regimes of generation of a single-component (ring or axial) and two-component SHG field, and also the tuning of the radius of a ring component are investigated at changing the direction of the collinear phase-matching.","PeriodicalId":368970,"journal":{"name":"5th International Workshop on Laser and Fiber-Optical Networks Modeling, 2003.
