In this paper, a self-mode-locked Nd:YVO₄picosecond vortex laser is demonstrated, which can operate on the different Laguerre-Gaussian (LG) modes at 1 064 nm. A π/2 mode converter is utilized to realize the picosecond vortex laser with LG mode transformed from the high-order Hermite-Gaussian (HG) mode. For the proposed laser, the mode-locked pulse repetition rate is 1.81 GHz. The average output powers of LG₁₂mode and LG₀₂mode are 1.241 W and 1.27 W, respectively, and their slope efficiencies are 23.2% and 24%, respectively.

In this paper, a passively Q-switched and mode-locked c-cut Nd-doped vanadate crystal self-Raman laser at 1.17 μm is firstly demonstrated by using Cr₄₊:YAG. Two crystals of Nd³⁺:YVO₄and Nd³⁺:GdVO₄are adopted to generate laser, respectively. With the incident pump power of 13 W, the average output powers of 678 mW and 852 mW at 1.17 μm are obtained with the durations of Q-switched envelope of 1.8 ns and 2 ns, respectively. The mode-locked repetition rates are as high as 2.3 Hz and 2.2 GHz, respectively. As far as we know, the Q-switched envelope is the narrowest and the mode-locked repetition rate is the highest at present in this field. In addition, yellow laser output is also achieved by using the LiB₃O₅frequency doubling crystal.

设计了一种纤芯区域由中心椭圆缺陷孔和其横排的上下两侧椭圆孔组成的高双折射率光子晶体光纤, 并在其纤芯中心椭圆缺陷孔中填充高折射率液体物质二硫化碳.利用有限元法分析了该光子晶体光纤的双折射率、功率限制因子、模场分布及色散系数特性.研究结果表明: 液芯光纤具有较高的纤芯功率限制因子, 在波长0.6~1.6 μm范围内实现了宽带大负色散系数, 在波长1.55 μm处光纤双折射率达到了6.8×10－2, 即该结构液芯光子晶体光纤同时实现了宽带大负色散和高双折射率特性.通过结构参量容差性分析得到该光纤具有较好的偏振稳定性.
