We report a universal approach based on the surface plasmon resonances (SPRs) attained in filamentation in water doped with gold nanoparticles for enhancing the nonlinear refractive index. The filament-induced supercontinuum spectrum in water overlaps with SPRs of gold nanospheres, which further leads to a modification on the Kerr nonlinear refractive index. In our experiment, the measured nonlinear refractive index (n2) in water doped with gold nanoparticles increases by six times, as compared with that in pure water. Such enhancement may be useful for filament-induced nonlinear applications with modest incident intensity.

介绍一种新的高功率、便携式光纤飞秒激光系统。该系统以半导体可饱和吸收锁模光纤激光器作为种子源, 通过光纤布拉格光栅对波长进行选择。振荡器输出的种子光经过两级单模掺镱光纤、一级双包层掺镱光纤预放大后, 进入主放大系统。主放大系统采用大模场掺镱光子晶体光纤放大, 并通过控制放大过程中产生的非线性积累, 有效降低非线性效应对脉冲的影响。加入声光调制器, 使输出重复频率可调, 并通过透射式光栅对, 对输出的脉冲进行压缩, 最终获得平均功率为1.34 W、重复频率为300 kHz、工作波长为1030 nm、脉冲宽度为202 fs的激光输出, 对应单脉冲能量为4.5 μJ, 峰值功率为22 MW。整套激光系统便携、稳定、成本较低, 可以进行广泛的生产应用。
