Volume Bragg Grating assisted broadband tunability and spectral narrowing of Ti:Sapphire oscillators.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A widely tunable, narrow band Ti:Sapphire oscillator is reported. Tunability and spectral narrowing were achieved by use of a volume Bragg grating in the cavity. Tunability was observed from 785 nm to 852 nm while maintaining a spectral linewidth less than 10 pm with essentially no spectral jitter. Oscillation on only 2 longitudinal modes is also reported at 852 nm with the grating at normal incidence providing approximately 200 mW output power.

Sub-5-pm linewidth, 130-nm-tuning of a coupled-cavity Ti:sapphire oscillator via volume Bragg grating-based feedback
A novel coupled-cavity Ti:sapphire oscillator architecture featuring a volume Bragg grating as a feedback element is presented. The oscillator provides continuous wave lasing within a spectral linewidth as narrow as 5 pm. The output can be wavelength-tuned over an ultrabroad spectral range of 130 nm, extending from 714 to 842 nm. This unique combination of narrow spectral linewidth and wide tun...
متن کاملSpectral narrowing and stabilization of interband cascade laser by volume Bragg grating.
A volume Bragg grating recorded in photo-thermo-refractive glass was used to spectrally lock the emission from an 18-μm-wide interband cascade laser ridge to a wavelength of 3.12 μm. The spectral width of emission into the resonant mode is narrowed by more than 300 times, and the thermal wavelength shift is reduced by 60 times. While the power loss penalty is about 30%, the spectral brightness ...
متن کاملNarrow line width operation of a 980 nm gain guided tapered diode laser bar.
We demonstrate two different schemes for the spectral narrowing of a 12 emitter 980 nm gain guided tapered diode laser bar. In the first scheme, a reflective grating has been used in a Littman Metcalf configuration and the wavelength of the laser emission could be narrowed down from more than 5.5 nm in the free running mode to 0.04 nm (FWHM) at an operating current of 30 A with an output power ...

A novel Nd:YVO4−based regenerative amplifier system operating in the picosecond regime featuring a volume Bragg grating (VBG) as an intracavity spectral narrowing element is described. This compact amplifier provides pulses with duration of ∼85 ps operating at repetition rates ranging from single shot to 10 kHz. The VBG is used to passively tailor the pulse duration and achieve transformlimited...

A simple and low-cost spectrum sliced microwave photonic filter with high tunability has been implemented. This is based on use of two Fabry-Pérot filters with same free spectral range connected in parallel but one filter with an external fiber delay. An extension of this configuration with Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) as delay element is also demonstrated. This architecture overcomes the tuning d...
