متن کاملDouble photoexcitation of He atoms by attosecond xuv pulses in the presence of intense few-cycle infrared lasers
We studied the photoelectron spectra of He atoms resulting from double photoexcitation to autoionizing states by an attosecond xuv pulse in the presence of intense few-cycle Ti:sapphire lasers using the timedependent hyperspherical close-coupling method. In its first application we show that the combination of a weak xuv pulse and an intense infrared laser offers an efficient means for probing ...
متن کاملHigh-energy two-cycle pulses at 3.2 μm by a broadband-pumped dual-chirped optical parametric amplification.
A design for efficient generation of mid-infrared pulses at 3.2 μm is presented, which is based on numerical simulations of the broadband-pumped dual-chirped optical parametric amplification (DC-OPA) in LiNbO3 doped with 5 mol.% MgO (MgO:LiNbO3). The broadband seed can be generated by difference frequency generation in KTA using spectrally-broadened Ti:Sapphire lasers. The...
متن کاملDesign Optimization for 4.1-THZ Quantum Cascade Lasers
We present an optimized design for GaAs/AlGaAs quantum cascade lasers operating at 4.1THz. This was based on a three-well active module with diagonal radiative transition. This was performed by modifying the existing model structure, to reduce the parasitic anticrossings (leakage currents) as well as the optical gain linewidth. While the gain FWHM was reduced by more than 50% the gain pea...
متن کاملDiode-pumped, single-frequency Cr:LiSrAlF6 ring laser.
The Ti:sapphire laser has become an established source for cw, watt-level, single-frequency power from 680 to 1050 nm, but the commonly used Ar-ion laser pump source is a disadvantage for many applications. Tunable, external-cavity, single-frequency diode lasers are available for portions of this wavelength region, but a given diode laser can cover a range of only 15– 25 nm. Cr:LiSrAlF6 (Cr:LiS...
