The energy transfer by stimulated Brillouin backscatter from a long pump pulse (15 ps) to a short seed pulse (1 ps) has been investigated in a proof-of-principle demonstration experiment. The two pulses were both amplified in different beamlines of a Nd:glass laser system, had a central wavelength of 1054 nm and a spectral bandwidth of 2 nm, and crossed each other in an underdense plasma in a counter-propagating geometry, off-set by 10. It is shown that the energy transfer and the wavelength of the generated Brillouin peak depend on the plasma density, the intensity of the laser pulses, and the competition between two-plasmon decay and stimulated Raman scatter instabilities. The highest obtained energy transfer from pump to probe pulse is 2.5%, at a plasma density of 0:17ncr , and this energy transfer increases significantly with plasma density. Therefore, our results suggest that much higher efficiencies can be obtained when higher densities (above 0:25ncr ) are used.

为了制备大拓扑荷数涡旋光, 对基于螺旋相位板多通的拓扑荷数4重加倍进行了理论分析、仿真模拟和实验验证。根据菲涅耳衍射积分定理, 推导了基于螺旋相位板多通的涡旋光拓扑荷数加倍原理。设计了4重加倍装置, 建立了相应模型并模拟了拓扑荷数4重加倍后的涡旋光强分布。绘制了相对强度、光束半径随距离变化曲线, 得到了加倍过程中半径和强度不会发生突变的结论。最后, 使用该装置成功制备了拓扑荷数为4、8、12、16的涡旋光束并对该实验中高阶涡旋光质量较差的原因进行了分析。

根据一般条件下电磁场的边界条件,研究了两种介质分界面存在面电荷分布时的反射与透射,证明了这一条件下反射定律和折射定律仍然成立,推导得到存在面电荷分布时入射波平行分量和垂直分量的振幅反射系数和振幅透射系数,即修正的菲涅耳公式。由于不同界面的导电特性不同,两种介质界面的面电荷分布会影响界面的面电导率,修正后的菲涅耳公式与面电导率和自由空间阻抗有关。计算结果表明当面电荷密度或界面特性使面电导率发生较大变化时,振幅反射系数和振幅透射系数及反射率和透射率发生变化。

在激光的发展过程中,1970年是室温器件取得较大进展的一年。贝耳实验室首先发表了连续运转的砷化镓注入式激光器。现在,得克萨斯仪器公司已制成用发光镓砷磷二极管列阵作泵浦源的室温连续运转掺钕钇铝石榴石装置。这是第一次用二极管泵浦钇铝石榴石棒在室温下获得激射阈值。该公司以前也曾用二极管泵浦使钇铝石榴石运转,但是,不论二极管还是激光棒都必须进行冷却。
