Semi-Analytic Theory of Similariton Amplifiers and Laser Oscillators Using a Shape-Adaptive Model Pulse
نویسندگان
چکیده
A semi-analytic theory for similariton lasers and amplifiers is presented. The key is a shape-adaptive model pulse which can be continuously tuned to represent pulse shapes ranging from parabolic to Gaussian to sech-squared intensity profiles. © 2011 Optical Society of America OCIS codes: 060.5530, 060.7140.

Modeling Parabolic Pulse Formation in Mode-Locked Laser Cavities
Self-similarity is a ubiquitous concept in the physical sciences used to explain a wide range of spatialor temporal-structures observed in a broad range of applications and natural phenomena. Indeed, they have been predicted or observed in the context of Raman scattering, spatial soliton fractals, propagation in the normal dispersion regime with strong nonlinearity, optical amplifiers, and mode...
متن کاملStrong spectral filtering for a mode-locked similariton fiber laser.
We propose a novel mode-locked fiber laser design that relies on attracting similariton solutions in fiber amplifiers with normal group-velocity dispersion and strong spectral filtering to compensate increased pulse duration and bandwidth. Stable high-energy, large-bandwidth pulses are obtained that can be linearly compressed, resulting in ultrashort pulses.
متن کاملHigh Repetition-Rate Similariton Generation in Normal Dispersion Erbium-Doped Fiber Amplifiers and Its Application to Multi-Wavelength Light Sources
We design and demonstrate a high repetition-rate similariton generation system using normal dispersion fiber amplifiers (NDFA’s). We numerically calculate the pulse evolution in NDFA’s and clarify the condition to generate similariton pulses in a finite-length NDFA. Then we design the similariton generation system in consideration of the use of Erbium-doped fibers (EDF’s) and show that a km-lon...
متن کاملNonlocal thermoelastic semi-infinite medium with variable thermal conductivity due to a laser short-pulse
In this article, the thermoelastic interactions in an isotropic and homogeneous semi-infinite medium with variable thermal conductivity caused by an ultra-short pulsed laser heating based on the linear nonlocal theory of elasticity has been considered. We consider that the thermal conductivity of the material is dependent on the temperature. The surface of the surrounding plane of the medium is...
متن کاملEffects of intense laser pulse properties on wake field acceleration in magnetized plasma: Half-Sine Shape (HSS) and Gaussian Shape (GS) pulses
In this paper, we have simulated the excitation of wake fields in the interaction of an intensive laser pulses having Half-Sine and Gaussian time envelopes with a fully ionized cold plasma using particle in cell (PIC) method. We investigated the dependency of wake filed amplitude to different laser and plasma parameters such as laser wavelength, pulse duration and electron number density. In ad...
