Abstract

We demonstrate a new method of generation of frequency-tunable megawatt femtosecond pulses in the infrared based on multisoliton supercontinuum generation in a large-mode-area photonic-crystal fibre (PCF) followed by the temporal compression of the PCF output. Photonic-crystal fibres with a core area of about 710 {mu}m{sup 2} are employed to convert microjoule femtosecond laser pulses with a spectrum centred at 1.39 {mu}m into pulses with a central wavelength of 1520 nm, a pulse width of 210 fs, and a peak power of about 1 MW.

Discrete conical emission rings observed upon filamentation of a femtosecond laser pulse in quartz

Journal Article Dormidonov, A E ; Kandidov, V P ; Kompanets, V O ; ... - Quantum Electronics (Woodbury, N.Y.)

Supercontinuum emission observed upon filamentation of transform-limited collimated femtosecond laser pulses in a transparent condensed medium (fused KU-1 quartz) is studied experimentally and numerically. The splitting of diverging conical supercontinuum emission into discrete rings was observed with increasing the pulse energy. (special issue devoted to the 80th birthday of S.A. Akhmanov)

Hot electron generation in a dense plasma by femtosecond laser pulses of subrelativistic intensity

Journal Article Bolshakov, V V ; Vorob'ev, A A ; Uryupina, D S ; ... - Quantum Electronics (Woodbury, N.Y.)

We report a study of hot electron generation via the interaction of femtosecond laser pulses of subrelativistic intensity (10{sup 15} to 2x10{sup 17} W cm{sup -2}), having different linear polarisations and nanosecond-scale contrasts, with the surface of 'transparent' (quartz glass) and 'absorbing' (silicon) targets. As the incident pulse intensity increases from 10{sup 15} to 10{sup 17} W cm{sup -2}, the difference in hard X-ray yield and average hot electron energy between s- and p-polarised beams rapidly decreases. This effect can be understood in terms of relativistic electron acceleration mechanisms. (special issue devoted to the 80th birthday of S.A. Akhmanov)

Efficient source of femtosecond pulses and its use for broadband supercontinuum generation

Journal Article Tausenev, Anton V ; Kryukov, P G ; Bubnov, M M ; ... - Quantum Electronics (Woodbury, N.Y.)

A femtosecond Er{sup 3+}-doped fibre laser system is developed and studied. The system contains a master oscillator operating in the pulse stretching regime, an amplifier of chirped pulses, and a device for pulse compression. The laser emits 1.55-{mu}m, 100-fs, 90-mW pulses with a pulse repetition rate of 25 MHz. The setup was used for supercontinuum generation in an optical fibre heavily doped with GeO{sub 2}. The width of the generated supercontinuum was close to an octave. (lasers)

Self-action of a high-power 10-{mu}m laser radiation in gases: control of the pulse duration and generation of hot electrons

Journal Article Gordienko, Vyacheslav M ; Platonenko, Viktor T ; Sterzhantov, A F - Quantum Electronics (Woodbury, N.Y.)

The propagation of ultrashort 10-{mu}m laser pulses of power exceeding the critical self-focusing power in xenon and air is numerically simulated. It is shown that the pulse duration in certain regimes in xenon can be decreased by 3-4 times simultaneously with the increase in the pulse power by 2-3 times. It is found that the average energy of electrons in a filament upon filamentation of 10-{mu}m laser pulses in air can exceed 200 eV. The features of the third harmonic and terahertz radiation generation upon filamentation are discussed. (special issue devoted to the 80th birthday of S.A. Akhmanov)

Control of filamentation of femtosecond laser pulses in a turbulent atmosphere

Journal Article Shlenov, Svyatoslav A ; Markov, A I - Quantum Electronics (Woodbury, N.Y.)

Various methods for controlling the onset of filamentation of a high-power laser pulse in extended vertical atmospheric paths are analysed. It is shown that the increase in the structure constant of the atmospheric turbulence on average leads to the earlier formation of 'hot' spots when the initial pulse power exceeds the critical self-focusing power by an order of magnitude and more. It is found in the numerical experiments that the use of broad focused beams is preferable for achieving the minimal standard deviation of a distance for the filament onset.
