High-pressure CO2 amplifier pumped by all-solid-state 2.76 μm laser
Multi-atmospheric CO2 amplifier pumped by a 2.76 μm, ∼4.2 mJ ZnGeP2 optical parametric oscillator with repeat frequency of 100 Hz is demonstrated to amplify long wave infrared lasers with ultra-short pulse width. The small-signal gain of the optically pumped CO2 amplifier was investigated by adopting RF-excited CO2 lasers as the seed lasers. The vibrational temperature T3 corresponding to the asymmetric stretching mode of CO2 and the translational temperature T were obtained by measuring the gain characteristics at the wavelength of 10.28 and 10.59 μm. The gain coefficient for the 10.59 μm laser is 1.36 %cm−1. The maximum optical-to-optical energy conversion efficiency is 3.7 %. The maximal working pressure is 13.0 atm, correspondingly the gain bandwidth with 1.58 THz @10.5 μm. The results indicate that amplifying femtosecond 10 μm pulses in a multi-atmosphere optically pumped CO2 active medium necessitates a joule-level 2.76 μm pump laser.
期刊介绍:
The Journal covers the entire field of infrared physics and technology: theory, experiment, application, devices and instrumentation. Infrared'' is defined as covering the near, mid and far infrared (terahertz) regions from 0.75um (750nm) to 1mm (300GHz.) Submissions in the 300GHz to 100GHz region may be accepted at the editors discretion if their content is relevant to shorter wavelengths. Submissions must be primarily concerned with and directly relevant to this spectral region.
Its core topics can be summarized as the generation, propagation and detection, of infrared radiation; the associated optics, materials and devices; and its use in all fields of science, industry, engineering and medicine.
Infrared techniques occur in many different fields, notably spectroscopy and interferometry; material characterization and processing; atmospheric physics, astronomy and space research. Scientific aspects include lasers, quantum optics, quantum electronics, image processing and semiconductor physics. Some important applications are medical diagnostics and treatment, industrial inspection and environmental monitoring.
