Book excerpt: "A key technology for generating ultrafast, high-energy laser pulses is temporal compression through self-phase modulation in noble gases. Noble gases are ideal for high energy applications due to their high damage thresholds and flexibility through the gas species and pressure. Therefore, they have scaled nonlinear compression to the order of hundred millijoules pulse energy while maintaining high beam quality and average power. Further scaling is limited however, as the enormous pulse energies available from state-of-the-art ytterbium amplifier technology have surpassed the gases' ionization thresholds. Plasma effects encountered beyond the ionization threshold, especially plasma defocusing, degrade the output pulse and prevent scaling to higher energies. In this thesis, I will develop a method to overcome the gas ionization thresholds and scale spectral broadening methods to higher energy - divided-pulse nonlinear compression. In divided-pulse nonlinear compression, a high-energy pulse is divided into multiple low-energy pulses that are spectrally broadened. The low-energy pulses have peak intensity below the gas's ionization threshold and are able to pass through the spectral broadening stage with high efficiency, even when the single, high-energy pulse cannot. After spectral broadening, the low-energy pulses are recombined back into a high-energy pulse and compressed to a short duration. In this thesis, I will demonstrate both that the method overcomes the gas ionization limitations and that the recombination and compression steps can be implemented with high efficiency, leading to high-quality, high-energy, well-compressed pulses. In the course of this demonstration, I had to develop other tools that will be beneficial for future high-energy temporal compression systems. I improved existing pulse propagation equations that model the nonlinear spectral broadening processes in a hollow-core fiber and used the improved equations to quantify the detrimental effects of gas ionization. Alignment tolerances for the pulse division and recombination steps are tight, so I developed an analytic alignment tolerances model to quantify the effects of alignment errors and identified a useful compensator to loosen the tolerances. Finally, I also identified a new use for divided-pulse nonlinear compression that I will demonstrate, temporal contrast improvement, which rejects the prepulses and amplified spontaneous emission produced by many high-power laser amplifier systems."--Pages x-xi.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book gives the readers an introduction to experimental and theoretical knowledge acquired by large-scale laser laboratories that are dealing with extra-high peak power and ultrashort laser pulses for research of terawatt (TW), petawatt (PW), or near-future exawatt (EW) laser interactions, for soft X-ray sources, for acceleration of particles, or for generation of hot dense thermal plasma for the laser fusion. The other part of this book is dealing with the small-scale laser laboratories that are using for its research on commercial sources of laser radiation, nanosecond (ns), picosecond (ps), or femtosecond (fs) laser pulses, either for basic research or for more advanced applications. This book is divided into six main sections dealing with short and ultrashort laser pulses, laser-produced soft X-ray sources, large-scale high-power laser systems, free-electron lasers, fiber-based sources of short optical pulse, and applications of short pulse lasers. In each chapter readers can find fascinating topics related to the high energy and/or short pulse laser technique. Individual chapters should serve the broad spectrum of readers of different expertise, layman, undergraduate and postgraduate students, scientists, and engineers, who may in this book find easily explained fundamentals as well as advanced principles of particular subjects related to these phenomena.

This book was released on 2012-07-09 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis provides deep insights into currently controversial questions in laser filamentation, a highly complex phenomenon involving nonlinear optical effects and plasma physics. First, based on the concrete picture of a femtosecond laser beam which self-pinches its radial intensity distribution, the thesis delivers a novel explanation for the remarkable and previously unexplained phenomenon of pulse self-compression in filaments. Moreover, the work addresses the impact of a non-adiabatic change of both nonlinearity and dispersion on such an intense femtosecond pulse transiting from a gaseous dielectric material to a solid one. Finally, and probably most importantly, the author presents a simple and highly practical theoretical approach for quantitatively estimating the influence of higher-order nonlinear optical effects in optics. These results shed new light on recent experimental observations, which are still hotly debated and may completely change our understanding of filamentation, causing a paradigm change concerning the role of higher-order nonlinearities in optics.

This book was released on 2012-05-08 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Enhancement cavities are passive optical resonators in which continuous-wave laser radiation or pulses of a frequency comb are coherently overlapped, allowing for a power and intensity scaling of up to several orders of magnitude. A prominent application is the table-top generation of bright, laser-like radiation in spectral regions where direct laser action is inefficient or not available at all, via intracavity nonlinear optical processes. However, to exploit the full capacity of this technique further progress is needed. This thesis covers central problems of enhancement cavities, such as finding limitations in scaling the circulating power, measuring cavity parameters with high accuracy, tailoring transverse modes and coupling out radiation generated in the cavity. Unprecedented intracavity laser powers were demonstrated, surpassing previous results by an order of magnitude. As an application, harmonics of the fundamental 1040-nm radiation up to the 21st order are generated. Besides reporting these fine experimental results, the thesis provides an excellent introduction into the physics of enhancement cavities, supported by more than 140 references.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nonlinear optical studies of periodic dielectric structures have blossomed in the past two decades. New fabrication techniques are producing fiber grating and multidimensional photonic crystals in materials where the refractive index can be varied by light pulses and beams. Gap solitons that can propagate at any velocity from zero to the speed of light and spatial solitons that prevent the diffractive spread of light in waveguide arrays are two examples of the new phenomena described in this book. Many new materials and structures are being developed that will impact new optical devices with applications in optical communications and optical data processing. All the above topics are addressed in detail in this book.

This book was released on 2014-05-20 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents a study of nonlinear optical phenomena with ultra-broadband radiation and ultrashort pulses in photonic crystal fiber (PCF) using numerical modeling. For the description of these processes, two widely used techniques namely pulse compression and soliton induced supercontinuum generation are implemented. Hence, the goal of the book can be divided into two topics namely pulse compression and supercontinuum generation which are connected to each other by the investigation of ultrasort pulses and broadband spectrum in PCF. To analyse the pulse compression and supercontinuum process in PCF, several numerical and theoretical approaches such as fully vectorial effective index method, finite element method, projection operator method, split step Fourier method, modulational instability technique and self-similar analysis has been utilized.
