High-efficiency, large-aperture fifth-harmonic: Generation of 211-nm pulses in ammonium dihydrogen phosphate crystals for fusion diagnostics

Journal Article Begishev, Ildar ; Romanofsky, Mark ; Carey, Sean ; ... - SPIE Seminar Proceedings (Online)

High-energy ultraviolet (UV) sources are required to probe hot dense plasmas from fusion experiments by using Thomson scattering resulting from the lower self-generated background from the plasma in the 180 to 230-nm spectral region. Although recently we demonstrated efficient, joule-class fifth harmonic conversion of 1053-nm pulses using a cesium lithium borate (CLBO) crystal, larger crystals are necessary for increased UV energy. This paper presents an alternative approach for fifth-harmonic generation of a large-aperture neodymium laser using ammonium dihydrogen phosphate (ADP). An Nd:YLF laser was optimized to produce square pulses with a flattop, square beam profile (1053 nm, 1 to 2.8more »« less

High-efficiency, fifth-harmonic generation of a joule-level neodymium laser in a large-aperture ammonium dihydrogen phosphate crystal

Journal Article Begishev, I. A. ; Brent, G. ; Carey, S. ; ... - Optics Express

High-energy deep ultraviolet (UV) sources are required for high-density plasma diagnostics. The fifth-harmonic generation of large-aperture neodymium lasers in ammonium dihydrogen phosphate (ADP) can significantly increase UV energies due to the availability of large ADP crystals. Noncritical phase matching in ADP for (ω + 4ω) was achieved by cooling a 65 × 65-mm crystal in a two-chamber cryostat to 200 K. The crystal chamber used helium as the thermally conductive medium between the crystal and the crystal chamber, which was surrounded by a high-vacuum chamber with a liquid nitrogen reservoir. A temperature variation of 0.2 K across the crystal aperturemore »« less

Fourth-harmonic generation of picosecond glass laser pulses with cesium lithium borate crystals

Journal Article Sharma, L B ; Daido, H ; Kato, Y ; ... - Applied Physics Letters

We report the fourth-harmonic generation of 1.5 ps, 1.053 {mu}m glass laser pulses, where group velocity mismatch plays a significant role, at intensities up to 100 GW/cm{sup 2} using newly developed crystal, cesium lithium borate (CsLiB{sub 6}O{sub 10}). Type-I doubler and type-I quadrupler were used in the fourth harmonic generation experimental scheme. Energy conversion efficiencies of 24{percent} and 53{percent} have been achieved for frequency quadrupling and doubling of the fundamental glass laser pulses, respectively. {copyright} {ital 1996 American Institute of Physics.}

Efficient generation of the 7th harmonic of Ti:sapphire (114.6 nm) vacuum ultraviolet pulses with 60 fs duration by non-collinear four-wave mixing in argon

Journal Article Forbes, Ruaridh ; Hockett, Paul ; Lausten, Rune - Optics Letters

The recent advances in femtosecond vacuum UV (VUV) pulse generation, pioneered by the work of Noack et al., has enabled new experiments in ultrafast time-resolved spectroscopy. Expanding on this work, we report the generation of 60 fs VUV pulses at the 7th harmonic of Ti:sapphire with more than 50 nJ of pulse energy at a repetition rate of 1 kHz. Additionally, the 114.6 nm pulses are produced using non-collinear four-wave difference-frequency mixing in argon. The non-collinear geometry increases the phase-matching pressure, and results in a conversion efficiency of ~10-3 from the 200 nm pump beam. The VUV pulses are pre-chirp-compensatedmore »« less
