Abstract

This paper describes a new effect: spectral broadening and self-compression of negatively chirped visible femtosecond pulses as a result of nonlinear interaction of large-aperture beams with fused silica. We assume that the likely mechanism of the observed spectral broadening is the combined effect of self-phase modulation and four-wave mixing.

Self-phase modulation in a thin fused silica plate upon interaction with a converging beam of down-chirped femtosecond radiation

Journal Article Grudtsyn, Ya; Zubarev, I; Mamaev, S; ... - Quantum Electronics (Woodbury, N.Y.)

The mechanism of spectral broadening and self-compression of down-chirped femtosecond pulses in the visible range (473 nm) upon nonlinear interaction of a converging Gaussian beam with a 1-mm-thick fused silica plate is experimentally and theoretically investigated. It is found experimentally that when the intensity increases and plasma is formed in the sample, the regime of femtosecond pulse splitting is transformed into the single-pulse generation regime during nonlinear interaction. As a result of selfcompression, the duration of the initial transform-limited pulse is reduced by a factor of 3. Based on the numerical solution of the generalised nonlinear Schrödinger equation, with themore »« less

Visible-range hybrid femtosecond systems based on a XeF(C-A) amplifier: state of the art and prospects

Journal Article Alekseev, S; Aristov, A; Grudtsyn, Ya; ... - Quantum Electronics (Woodbury, N.Y.)

Results of experimental and theoretical investigations of the hybrid (solid state/gas) visible-range femtosecond systems THL-100 (IHCE SB RAS) and THL-30 (P.N. Lebedev Physics Institute) based on a Ti : sapphire front end and a photochemical XeF(C-A) amplifier are reported. The front end generates 50-fs optical pulses with the second-harmonic (475 nm) energy of up to 5 mJ. The active medium of the amplifier is produced in a mixture XeF{sub 2} - N{sub 2} subjected to VUV radiation of xenon excited by an electron beam. The computer model is developed for calculating parameters of the XeF(C - A) amplifier, which ismore »« less

Numerical aperture dependence of damage and supercontinuum generation from femtosecond laser pulses in bulk fused silica

Journal Article Ashcom, Jonathan; Gattass, Rafael; Schaffer, Chris; ... - Journal of the Optical Society of America. Part B, Optical Physics

Competing nonlinear optical effects are involved in the interaction of femtosecond laser pulses with transparent dielectrics: supercontinuum generation and multiphoton-induced bulk damage. We measured the threshold energy for supercontinuum generation and bulk damage in fused silica using numerical apertures (NAs) ranging from 0.01 to 0.65. The threshold for supercontinuum generation exhibits a minimum near 0.05 NA and increases quickly above 0.1 NA. For NAs greater than 0.25, we observe no supercontinuum generation. The extent of the blue broadening of the supercontinuum spectrum decreases significantly as the NA is increased from 0.01 to 0.08, showing that weak focusing is important formore »« less

Self-fabrication of void array in fused silica by femtosecond laser processing

Journal Article Toratani, Eiji; Kamata, Masanao; Obara, Minoru - Applied Physics Letters

We demonstrate self-fabrication of a submicrometer-sized void array in fused silica using a 100 fs 0.2-3 {mu}J Ti:Sapphire femtosecond laser and a high 0.9 numerical aperture (NA) objective lens. The effect of the focusing conditions of NA, laser energy, and pulse number on the shape of the fabricated void was investigated. The void has a linearly drawn shape in the direction of the laser irradiation when a single pulse is irradiated and an increasing number of incident pulses resulted in the break up of the long void into multiple spherical ones, leading to a periodically aligned void array. The voidmore »« less

High-order harmonic generation by chirped and self-guided femtosecond laser pulses. I. Spatial and spectral analysis

Journal Article Tosa, V; Kim, H; Kim, I; ... - Physical Review. A

For the analysis of high-order harmonics generated in a long gas jet by intense chirped femtosecond laser pulses, calculations of the laser propagation and harmonic generation were performed in terms of a nonadiabatic three-dimensional model. The self-guided propagation, observed at the conditions of bright harmonic generation, was confirmed by the model calculations. When using negatively chirped pulses, the calculated distribution of the harmonic field is spatially and spectrally confined, being generated on axis with a narrow spectral profile. The positively chirped pulses generate broad spectral distribution on axis, and narrow off axis, but in the latter case with a largemore »« less
