差分吸收激光雷达(DIAL)是目前探测大气污染成分最有效的方法之一。介绍了一种新型NO2激光探测雷达(NO2-DIAL)差分吸收光源的设计:选择Nd:YAG的三倍频输出激光作为λon(354.7nm),并采用该三倍频激光的圆(或椭圆)偏振光抽运D2拉曼池,选择其中距抽运光波长最接近的第一级纯受激转动拉曼散射光作为特征吸收波长λoff(359.9nm)。抽运光的偏振态调制采用1/4波片调谐技术方便地测定和实现。这一方法保证了两个差分激光的中心波长稳定、频漂小、线宽窄,同时系统只需使用一个拉曼池,即可获得同轴性很好的两束激光输出,在技术指标的提升和经济性两方面都具有很大的优势。

The thermal stability, Raman spectrum and upconversion properties of Tm^(3+)/Yb^(3+) co-doped new oxyfluoride tellurite glass are investigated. The results show that Tm^(3+)/Yb^(3+) co-doped oxyfluoride tellurite glass possesses good thermal stability, lower phonon energy, and intense upconversion blue luminescence. Under 980-nm laser diode (LD) excitation, the intense blue (475 nm) emission and weak red (649 nm) emission corresponding to the 1G4 -> 3H6 and 1G4 -> 3F4 transitions of Tm^(3+) ions respectively, were simultaneously observed at room temperature. The possible upconversion mechanisms are evaluated. The intense blue upconversion luminescence of Tm^(3+)/Yb^(3+) co-doped oxyfluoride tellurite glass can be used as potential host material for the development of blue upconversion optical devices.

Strong multi-order forward stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) has been observed in the backward pumped S-band distributed fiber Raman amplifier (FRA) with tunable narrow signal source (less than 100 MHz) when the pump power of FRA reached the SBS threshold. This does not obey the theory that only weak backward SBS lines exist according to the conservation of energy and momentum and the wave vector selected rule. This is because the sound waveguide characteristic weakens the wave vector rule, and the forward transmitted sound waveguide Brillouin scattering lines are generated and amplified in FRA. When the pump power is further increased, 11 orders of SBS lines and comb-like profile are observed. For the excited line, the frequency is 197.2296 THz and the power is 0 dBm. The even order SBS lines are stronger than odd order SBS lines, the power of the 2nd and 4th order SBS lines is 1.75 dBm, which is 16 dB higher than that of the 1st and 3rd order SBS lines. The odd order SBS lines are named Brillouin-Rayleigh scattering lines.
