How to improve the quality of output beam of phase conjugation cavity is a problem. In this paper, the output characteristic of compound phase-conjugate resonator with stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) cell was reported. The experimental results indicated it has high output energy and excellent stability. The output energy of the single pulse can reach 90 mJ, and the width of it is about 25...

We show how a passive image-rotating optical resonator can be used to convert a linearly polarised, lowest-order Gaussian beam into a radially polarized beam. The image and polarization rotation of the cavity removes the frequency degeneracy of the modes, making it possible to select the radially polarized mode by cavity tuning. With the addition of gain, the same cavity should operate as a rad...

We outline a simple laser cavity comprising an opaque ring and a circular aperture that is capable of producing spatially tuneable laser modes, from a Gaussian beam to a Flat-top beam. The tuneability is achieved by varying the diameter of the aperture and thus requires no realignment of the cavity. We demonstrate this principle using a digital laser with an intra-cavity spatial light modulator...

In this paper, we considered the radiation instability in a split asymmetric resonator for relativistic case assuming space charge of beam. small-signal approximation, expressions energy loss by particle passing through and beam current modulation are obtained. Based on analytical numerical calculations, it is shown that symmetric configuration provides highest growth rate instability. It found...

For a resonator in an electrostatic microelectromechanical system (MEMS), nonlinear coupling between applied electrostatic force and the mechanical motion of the resonator can lead to chaotic oscillations. Better performance of the device can be achieved when the oscillations are periodic with large amplitude. We investigate the nonlinear dynamics of a system of deformable doubly clamped beam, ...

We study an rf SQUID, in which a section of the loop is a freely suspended beam that is allowed to oscillate mechanically. The coupling between the rf SQUID and the mechanical resonator originates from the dependence of the total magnetic flux threading the loop on the displacement of the resonator. Motion of the latter affects the visibility of Rabi oscillations between the two lowest energy s...

The saturation process of free-electron-laser oscillators (FEL's) in the warm-beam regime is examined, considering radiation-extraction efficiency and spectral width. The spectral width and conversion efficiency can be estimated in both highand low-gain regimes when the laser-oscillator mode population is sparse enough. Under certain conditions, which can be achieved in a relativistic FEL with ...

We report on the atom optical manipulation of an atom laser beam. Reflection, focusing and its storage in a resonator are demonstrated. Precise and versatile mechanical control over an atom laser beam propagating in an inhomogeneous magnetic field is achieved by optically inducing spin-flips between atomic ground states with different magnetic moment. The magnetic force acting on the atoms can ...

We report on the performance of a Fabry–Perot resonator for far-infrared electron spin resonance ~FIR-ESR! at 250 GHz designed to accommodate a thin, disk-shaped sample that must rest with its flat surface perpendicular to the incident FIR beam. This geometry minimizes dielectric losses, making it possible to obtain FIR-ESR spectra of aqueous or lossy samples with a macroscopic ordering, at can...
