| 1 | Multigigawatt 50 fs Yb:CALGO regenerative amplifier system with 11 W average power and mid-infrared generation显示文摘Lasers with high average and high peak power as well as ultrashort pulse width have been all along demanded by nonlinear optics studies,strong-field experiments,electron dynamics investigations,and ultrafast spectroscopy.While the routinely used titanium-doped sapphire(Ti:sapphire)laser faces a bottleneck in the average power upscaling,ytterbium(Yb)-doped lasers have remarkable advantages in achieving high average power.However,there is still a substantial gap of pulse width and peak power between the Ti:sapphire and Yb-doped lasers.Here we demonstrate a high-power Yb:CaAlGdO4(Yb:CALGO)regenerative amplifier system,delivering 1040 nm pulses with11 W average power,50 fs pulse width,and 3.7 GW peak power at a repetition rate of 43 k Hz,which to some extent bridges the gap between the Ti:sapphire and Yb lasers.An ultrabroadband Yb-doped fiber oscillator,specially designed spectral shapers,and Yb:CALGO gain medium with broad emission bandwidth,together with a double-end pumping scheme enable an amplified bandwidth of 19 nm and 95 fs output pulse width.To the best of our knowledge,this is the first demonstration of sub-100 fs regenerative amplifier based on Yb-doped bulk medium without nonlinear spectral broadening.The amplified pulse is further compressed to 50 fs via cascaded-quadratic compression with a simple setup,producing 3.7 GW peak power,which boosts the record of peak power from Yb:CALGO regenerative amplifiers by 1 order.As a proof of concept,pumped by the high-power,50 fs pulses,7.5–11.5μm midinfrared(MIR)generation via intrapulse difference-frequency generation is performed,without the necessity of nonlinear fiber compressors.It leads to a simple and robust apparatus,and it would find good usefulness in MIR spectroscopic applications. | WEIZHE WANG HAN WU CHENG LIU BIAO SUN HOUKUN LIANG | 2021 | Photonics Research2021,9,8: | 1 |
| 2 | Ultra-high speed random bit generation based on Rayleigh feedback assisted ytterbium-doped random fiber laser显示文摘In this paper, we propose an ultra-high speed random bit generator without the time-delay signature based on an ytterbium-doped random fiber laser(YRFL) with Rayleigh scattering feedback. The spectrum of the YRFL has a relatively broad bandwidth(0.35 nm) and the lasing temporal intensity shows random fluctuations without cavity induced time-delay signatures(TDS),which are essential for ultra-high speed random bit generation. The chaotic signal and its time-delayed signal sampling at40 Giga samples per second(GS/s) are converted to digital 8-bit signals. By selecting 5 least significant bits from each 8-bit digital signal and using bitwise exclusive-OR operation, we experimentally achieve 200 Gbps physical random bit generation based on ytterbium-doped random fiber laser with the verified randomness. The combination of broadband emission and free of TDS makes random fiber lasers new promising sources for high performance random bit generation in a simple and compact configuration, which has a great potential in cryptography and secure communication applications. | WU Han XIONG Ji HAN Bing WANG ZiNan ZHANG WeiLi JIA XinHong LIANG HouKun | 2021 | Science China(Technological Sciences)2021,64,6: | 1 |
| 3 | Widely tunable continuous-wave visible and mid-infrared light generation based on a dual-wavelength switchable and tunable random Raman fiber laser显示文摘Nonlinear frequency conversion of wavelength agile and high-power random fiber lasers can provide a promising way to generate continuous-wave(CW)visible and mid-infrared(MIR)light with unique properties such as the continuous modeless spectrum,low temporal/spatial coherence,and high temporal stability.Here,we report a dual-wavelength switchable and tunable random Raman fiber laser(RRFL)based on a phosphosilicate fiber that has two Raman gain peaks for the first time and demonstrate its superior capability to generate widely tunable CW visible and mid-infrared light via nonlinear frequency conversions.By using the combination of a tunable pump and two tunable gratings in Littrow configuration that can provide separated point feedback for the two Stokes wavelengths corresponding to silica-and phosphorus-related Raman peaks,the spectrum of an RRFL can be flexibly manipulated for the aim of nonlinear frequency conversions,including single-wavelength tunable emission at the 1.1μm or 1.2μm band for second-harmonic generation(SHG),dual-wavelength simultaneously tunable emission at the 1.1μm and 1.2μm bands for the sum-frequency generation(SFG),and dual-wavelength separation tunable emission for difference-frequency generation(DFG).As a result,with the combination of SHG and SFG in a periodically poled lithium niobate crystal array,we experimentally demonstrate the broadest tuning range(560-630 nm)of visible light generated from an RRFL,to the best of our knowledge.The tunable MIR light in the range of 10.7-12.3μm is also demonstrated through DFG of an RRFL operating in separation tunable dual-wavelength emission mode in a Ba Ga4Se7(BGSe)crystal,which is the first realization of>10μm CW DFG in the BGSe crystal.We believe the developed dual-wavelength switchable and tunable RRFL can provide a new compact,robust,and cost-effective platform to realize broadly tunable light in both the visible and MIR regions,which can also find potential applications in imaging,sensing,and temporal ghost imaging in various spectral bands. | HAN WU WEIZHE WANG BO HU YANG LI KAN TIAN RUI MA CHUNXIAO LI JUN LIU JIYONG YAO HOUKUN LIANG | 2023 | Photonics Research2023,11,5: | 0 |
| 4 | Dual-Wavelength Spectrum-Shaped Mid-Infrared Pulses and Steering High-Harmonic Generation in Solids显示文摘Mid-infrared(MIR)ultra-short pulses with multiple spectral-band coverage and good freedom in spectral and temporal shaping are desired by broad applications such as steering strong-field ionization,investigating bound-electron dynamics,and minimally invasive tissue ablation.However,the existing methods of light transient generation lack freedom in spectral tuning and require sophisticated apparatus for complicated phase and noise control.Here,with both numerical analysis and experimental demonstration,we report the first attempt,to the best our knowledge,at generating MIR pulses with dual-wavelength spectral shaping and exceptional freedom of tunability in both the lasing wavelength and relative spectral amplitudes,based on a relatively simple and compact apparatus compared to traditional pulse synthesizers.The proof-of-concept demonstration in steering the high-harmonic generation in a polycrystalline ZnSe plate is facilitated by dual-wavelength MIR pulses shaped in both spectral and temporal domains,spanning from 5.6 to 11.4μm,with multi-microjoule pulse energy and hundred-milliwatt average power.Multisets of harmonics corresponding to different fundamental wavelengths are simultaneously generated in the deep ultraviolet region,and both the relative strength of individual harmonics sets and the spectral shapes of harmonics are harnessed with remarkable freedom and flexibility.This work would open new possibilities in exploring femtosecond control of electron dynamics and light–matter interaction in composite molecular systems. | Linzhen He Weizhe Wang Kan Tian Maoxing Xiang Zhongjun Wan Bo Hu Yang Li Han Wu Zi-Yu Chen Fan Yang Houkun Liang | 2023 | Ultrafast Science2023,3,3: | 0 |
| 5 | Continuous-wave 2.9–3.8μm random lasing via temperature-tunning free difference-frequency generation of random fiber lasers in PPLN crystal显示文摘Continuous-wave(CW)tunable mid-infrared(MIR)laser sources are necessary for laser spectroscopy,remote sensing,and infrared imaging applications[1].Generally,quantum cascaded lasers(QCLs)are mature MIR radiation sources with decent power.However,the tunning range of QCLs is limited to ten of cm^(-1).In contrast,difference-frequency generation(DFG)sources based on nonlinear optical crystals have advantages in broad wavelength tunability. | Bo HU Han WU Kan TIAN Houkun LIANG | 2023 | Science China(Information Sciences)2023,66,8: | 0 |
