The radical suppression of the photodarkening effect and laser performance deterioration via H2 loading were demonstrated in high-power Yb-doped fiber (YDF) amplifiers. The photodarkening loss at equilibrium was 114.4 dB/m at 702 nm in the pristine fiber, while it vanished in the H2-loaded fiber. To obtain a deeper understanding of the impact of photodarkening on laser properties, the evolution of the mode instability threshold and output power in fiber amplifiers was investigated. After pumping for 300 min, the mode instability threshold of the pristine fiber dropped from 770 to 612 W, and the periodic fluctuation of the output power became intense, finally reaching 100 W. To address the detrimental effects originating from photodarkening, H2 loading was applied in contrast experiments. The output power remained stable, and no sign of mode instability was observed in the H2-loaded fiber. Moreover, the transmittance at 638 nm confirmed the absence of the photodarkening effect. The results pave the way for the further development of high-power fiber lasers.

报道了采用滤波反投影的光声层析成像的信号处理方法,为了还原空间位置的光声信号,声探测器接收到的光声信号和探测器的脉冲响应在频域进行逆卷积处理;由于光声信号相对于触发时刻的延迟时间就是光声源到探测器的走时,重建时根据光声信号的延迟时间以及声速的距离,把速度势信号反投影到与探测器等距离的圆弧上。通过多个角度的反投影,能够重建出光声源的图像,但是由于反投影时光声信号投影到没有光声源的地方产生伪迹信号,模糊了光声源图像的边界,降低了图像的分辨率和对比度。因此在反投影之前采用CT成像中的R-T空间滤波函数与光声速度

提出一种多级高精度可调谐的瞬时频率测量(IFM)方法,采用单光源无滤波的IFM 系统结构,结合光偏振调制和偏振分束原理,利用偏振调制器和偏振控制器等器件来实现对同一波长下不同光偏振维度上微波信号的加载和分离。通过控制单模光纤的色散参数,可以获得较大的测量范围,利用色散所致的射频功率衰落效应,能获得单调变化的频率—幅度映射关系,进一步通过光电探测的射频信号输出功率比来得到幅度比较函数fACF。由于fACF 可以通过改变偏振角或直流偏置电压进行调节,因此该测量方法可用于多级频率测量实现对特定频率的高精度检测。

铜激光器的发展已经到了紧要关头,功率和效率的进一步改善将决定它的应用。CuBr激光器是铜激光器中很有希望的一种,它的寿命已超过500小时。在这种器件的等离子体中检测到少量分子类(H2、C2、CO、CO2等),实验还表明,经特别净化的激光管的输出功率和效率反而降低一半,这便导致了我们的掺氢实验。
