Radio Frequency Pulse Compression*
High gradients require high peak powers. One possible way to generate high peak powers is to generate a relatively long pulse at a relatively low power and compress it into a shorter pulse with higher peak power. It is possible to compress before DC to RF conversion as is done for the relativistic klystron or after DC to RF conversion as is done with SLED. In this note only radio frequency puls...
متن کاملSubfemtosecond pulse generation by rotational molecular modulation.
We extend a recent suggestion for the generation of subfemtosecond pulses by molecular modulation [Phys. Rev. Lett. 81, 2894 (1998)] to the rotational spectrum of molecular hydrogen (H(2)) . When a rotational transition |a? ? |b? is strongly driven (|rho(ab) |=0.5) the generation and phase-slip lengths are of the same order and the Raman spectrum has approximately Bessel function sideband ampli...
متن کاملUltrashort pulse generation by molecular modulation
This PhD Tutorial describes a new source of coherent radiation, with a spectrum extending over many octaves of optical bandwidth. We demonstrate collinear generation of mutually coherent spectral sidebands, ranging in wavelength from 2.94 μm in the infrared to 195 nm in the ultraviolet. The pulse energies are above 1 mJ/10 ns pulse for each of the nine central sidebands. The essence of our tech...
متن کاملSubfemtosecond Pulse Generation by Molecular Modulation
We suggest a technique for producing subfemtosecond pulses of radiation. The technique is based on using electromagnetically induced transparency to produce a strongly driven molecular coherence. This coherence results in a Raman spectrum with Bessel function amplitudes and phases corresponding to a frequency modulated signal, thereby allowing compression by the group velocity dispersion of the...
متن کاملFast, electrically controlled polarization modulation of multimode vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers by RF frequency modulation.
We report on a study of polarization properties of asymmetric, multimode vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSEL) subjected to electrical RF modulation. When subjected to RF modulation, complex frequency-dependent polarization properties, especially near the polarization switching point are revealed. We propose a scheme of rapidly switching the two RF frequencies modulating the VCSEL, in...
