The focal length of offset lens is particularly studied to compensate for the thermal lens effect and depolarization. For input pulse energy of 141 μJ with pulse duration of 754ps, the pulse laser system delivers 526mJ pulse energy and 728ps pulse width output at lO Hz with pulse profile shape preservation. The energy stability of the laser pulse is less than 3%, and the beam quality factor M2 is less than 2.26.展开更多

As for the photoconductor detectors, the main performance of neutron damaged GaAs:Cr and InP:Fe were studied. In addition, the spectral response of an XRD with coaxial leading-out end was also studied. These detectors have been successfully applied to nuclear test diagnosis and ICF research.展开更多

CNTs with different wall structures—single-walled CNTs(SWCNTs),double-walled CNTs(DWCNTs), and multi-walled CNTs(MWCNTs)—were used as SAs in the experiment to investigate the single mode-locking pulse characteristics. At pump power of 10.72 W, the maximum peak power of1.312 MW was obtained with the DWCNT.展开更多

A subnanosecond signal wave near 1572 nm with low repetition rate was realized. At an AOM repetition rate of 8 kHz, the maximum output power was 165 mW. The highest average pulse energy, the shortest duration, and the highest peak power of a mode-locking signal pulse were estimated to be ~10.3 μJ, ~120 ps, and ~82 kW, respectively.展开更多
