This study analyzes the linewidth narrowing characteristics of free-space-running Brillouin lasers and investigates the approaches to achieve linewidth compression and power enhancement simultaneously. The results show that the Stokes linewidth behavior in a free-space-running Brillouin laser cavity is determined by the phase diffusion of the pump and the technical noise of the system. Experimentally, a Stokes light output with a power of 22.5 W and a linewidth of 3.2 kHz was obtained at a coupling mirror reflectivity of 96%, which is nearly 2.5 times compressed compared with the linewidth of the pump (7.36 kHz). In addition, the theorical analysis shows that at a pump power of 60 W and a coupling mirror reflectivity of 96%, a Stokes output with a linewidth of 1.6 kHz and up to 80% optical conversion efficiency can be achieved by reducing the insertion loss of the intracavity. This study provides a promising technical route to achieve high-power ultra-narrow linewidth special wavelength laser radiations.

利用中心波长为800 nm、脉冲宽度为35 fs的飞秒激光脉冲开展了以蓝宝石晶体为介质的超连续白光光谱特性研究,通过对比不同入射脉冲能量下焦距为40 mm的球面透镜产生的白光光谱发现:随着入射脉冲能量的增强,白光光谱向蓝边方向展宽,当能量增加到210 nJ时,光谱范围不再变化。对比焦距为40 mm的球面透镜和消色差透镜产生的白光光谱发现:消色差透镜产生的光谱的整体强度小于球面透镜,且光谱有一定蓝移,蓝移波长可达450 nm。采用Zemax软件对两种透镜产生的焦斑进行仿真,比较了两种透镜产生的焦斑的大小和能量,并分析了蓝移现象产生的原因。同时,本研究对比了焦距为40 mm和100 mm球面透镜、消色差透镜产生的白光光谱的范围和稳定性,结果表明,焦距为40 mm的透镜产生的白光光谱的稳定性较好,光谱范围较宽,约为450~700 nm。罗丹明B的瞬态吸收实验结果表明,使用焦距为40 mm的消色差透镜时,罗丹明B的瞬态吸收信号最为明显,信噪比最高。本实验表明,针对不同的样品特性,可以通过选择不同的透镜来优化瞬态吸收实验结果。

Laser pulses of 200 ps with extremely high intensities and high energies are sufficient to satisfy the demand of shock ignition, which is an alternative path to ignition in inertial confinement fusion (ICF). This paper reports a type of Brillouin scheme to obtain high-intensity 200-ps laser pulses, where the pulse durations are a challenge for conventional pulsed laser amplification systems. In the amplification process, excited Brillouin acoustic waves fulfill the nonlinear optical effect through which the high energy of a long pump pulse is entirely transferred to a 200-ps laser pulse. This method was introduced and achieved within the SG-III prototype system in China. Compared favorably with the intensity of $2~\text{GW}/\text{cm}^{2}$ in existing ICF laser drivers, a 6.96-$\text{GW}/\text{cm}^{2}$ pulse with a width of 170 ps was obtained in our experiment. The practical scalability of the results to larger ICF laser drivers is discussed.
