Abstract

Here, the design and performance of a sub-10-picosecond source based on temporal focusing implemented with a lithium niobate phase modulator and grating compressor are presented. The source is optimized taking into account spectral gain narrowing in subsequent amplifiers. It advantageously delivers low-repetition-rate pulses with tunable pulse duration, and its short-term jitter and long-term drift over extended periods of time are of the order of a few picoseconds.

High repetition rate production of picosecond pulses at wavelengths <250nm

Conference McDonald, D B

In this paper we describe a laser system for generating picosecond pulses with wavelengths <250nm at a 5kHz repetition rate. Short pulses from a synchronously-pumped dye laser are amplified to a peak power >5MW in a dye medium pumped by a copper vapor laser. Nonlinear optical techniques can then be used to shift the wavelength well into the uv. The high repetition rate of the pulses is important for pump-probe picosecond spectroscopy. Other laser systems have generally fallen into one of two groups: one with large pulse energies at low repetition rates (>1MW at <100Hz) and one using very smallmore »« less
GHz repetition rate tabletop X-band photoinjector for free-electron laser applications

Conference Le Sage, G P ; Fochs, S N ; Feng, H X.C.

A 1-1/2 cell {pi}-mode X-bend (8.568 GHz) photoinjector system capable of producing trains of up to one hundred, 1 nC, 1ps, 5 MeV, {epsilon}{sub n} < 2.5 {pi} mm-mrad photoelectron bunches, at a micropulse repetition rate of 1-10 Hz, is currently under development at LLNL, in the UC Davis DAS coherent millimeter-wave group. The system is powered by a 20 MW, 8.568 GHz SLAC development klystron. The system also uses a Cs{sub 2}Te (Cesium Telluride) photocathode which has a quantum efficiency > 5% in the UV (210 nm). The compact UV laser system is composed of a synchronously modelocked AlGaAsmore »« less

Dual-wavelength generation of picosecond pulses with 9.8 GHz repetition rate in Nd : YAG waveguide laser with graphene

Journal Article Ponarina, M. V. ; Rybin, M. G. ; Obraztsova, E. D. ; ... - Quantum Electronics (Woodbury, N.Y.)

We report a new solid-state waveguide laser generating picosecond pulses with a GHz repetition rate, based on the use of graphene as a saturable absorber. Lasing at the main transverse mode is provided by the geometry of a cylindrical waveguide formed in the active crystal volume by the method of direct writing with a femtosecond laser beam. Fine tuning of the intracavity interferometer formed between the active medium and output mirror makes it possible to control the spectral-temporal parameters of output radiation and to smoothly tune the repetition rate of pulses having a duration of less than 20 ps.

Diagnostics, Control and Performance Parameters for the BELLA High Repetition Rate Petawatt Class Laser

Journal Article Nakamura, Kei ; Mao, Hann-Shin ; Gonsalves, Anthony J. ; ... - IEEE Journal of Quantum Electronics

A laser system producing controllable and stable pulses with high power and ultrashort duration at high repetition rate is a key component of a high energy laser-plasma accelerator (LPA). Precise characterization and control of laser properties are essential to understanding laser-plasma interactions required to build a 10-GeV class LPA. This study discusses the diagnostics, control and performance parameters of a 1 Hz, 1 petawatt (PW) class laser at the Berkeley Lab Laser Accelerator (BELLA) facility. The BELLA PW laser provided up to 46 J on target with a 1% level energy fluctuation and 1.3-μrad pointing stability. The spatial profile wasmore »« less

Fiber-Based, Spatially and Temporally Shaped Picosecond UV Laser for Advanced RF Gun Applications

Conference Shverdin, M Y ; Anderson, S G ; Betts, S M ; ...

The fiber-based, spatially and temporally shaped, picosecond UV laser system described here has been specifically designed for advanced rf gun applications, with a special emphasis on the production of high-brightness electron beams for free-electron lasers and Compton scattering light sources. The laser pulse can be shaped to a flat-top in both space and time with a duration of 10 ps at full width of half-maximum (FWHM) and rise and fall times under 1 ps. The expected pulse energy is 50 {micro}J at 261.75 nm and the spot size diameter of the beam at the photocathode is 2 mm. A fibermore »« less
