10. High-energy, kHz-repetition-rate, ps cryogenic Yb:YAG chirped-pulse amplifier

Author

Hong, Kyung-Han, Gopinath, Juliet, Rand, Darren, Siddiqui, Aleem M, Huang, Shu-Wei, Li, Enbang, Eggleton, Benjamin J, Hybl, John D, Yee Fan, Tso, Kartner, Franz X, Hong, Kyung-Han, Gopinath, Juliet, Rand, Darren, Siddiqui, Aleem M, Huang, Shu-Wei, Li, Enbang, Eggleton, Benjamin J, Hybl, John D, Yee Fan, Tso, and Kartner, Franz X

Abstract

We demonstrate amplification of picosecond laser pulses to 40 mJ at a 2 kHz pulse repetition frequency (PRF) from a two-stage cryogenic chirped-pulse Yb:YAG amplifier, composed of a regenerative amplifier (RGA) and a two-pass booster amplifier. The RGA produces 8.2 mJ of energy at 2 kHz PRF and 13.2 mJ at 1 kHz PRF with excellent energy stability (~0.3% rms) and beam quality ( M2<1.1 ). Pulse stretching and compression are achieved by using a chirped fiber Bragg grating and a multilayer dielectric grating pair, respectively. Compressed 15 ps pulses from the RGA are obtained with a throughput efficiency of ~80% (~6.5 mJ for 2 kHz ). The booster amplifier further amplifies the pulses to 40 mJ at 2 kHz PRF, and ~32 mJ, ~15 ps pulses are expected after compression. The amplifier chain seeded from a femtosecond Yb-fiber laser enables the optical self-synchronization between signal and pump in optical parametric chirped-pulse amplifier applications.

11. Photon trapping and transfer with solitons

Author

Lincoln Laboratory, Rand, Darren A., Steiglitz, Ken, Lincoln Laboratory, Rand, Darren A., and Steiglitz, Ken

Abstract

We show, numerically, that a single photon trapped by a soliton in a Kerr nonlinear medium can be transferred from one soliton to another when the captor soliton undergoes collision with a second soliton. Soliton collisions can also be used in this way to realize a beam splitter, as well as a mode-separating beam splitter, analogous to the usual polarizing beam splitter. We discuss briefly the feasibility of an optical fiber implementation and possible applications to quantum-information processing., Department of the Air Force

31. A composite Yb:YAG / Yb:GSAG cryogenically cooled amplifier for picosecond pulses.

Author

Rand, Darren, Miller, Daniel, Goldizen, Kris, Ochoa, Juan R., Ripin, Daniel J., and Fan, Tso Yee

Abstract

A laser amplifier using two cryogenically cooled materials, Gd3Sc2Al3O12 (GSAG) and YAG, demonstrates tens of millijoule pulse energy at kilohertz repetition rates. The near-diffraction-limited output was compressed to picosecond pulse duration. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
