Investigation of the impact of SBS-parameters and loss modulation on the mode locking of an SBS-laser oscillator

Abstract: A Nd:YAG laser oscillator Q-switched and mode locked via a nonlinear mirror based on stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) and aided by an acousto optical modulator (AOM) has been realised. A rate equation model and a round trip model are used to describe the longitudinal mode dynamics. Parameter variations of the nonlinear SBS mirror and the loss modulating AOM in the resonator are investigated with regard to their effect on the pulse duration and spectra of the pulses.

“…Thus, the pre-pulse injection is introduced to preserve the SBS waveform and the effects of the pre-pulse injection are investigated for cross-type amplifier system with the SBS-PCMs. SBS has a broad range of applications especially SBS-PCMs have been discussed recently (Yoshida et al, 2007;Meister et al, 2007;Kong et al, 2007Kong et al, , 2006Kong et al, , 2005bKong et al, , 2005aKappe et al, 2007;Hasi et al, 2007;. SBS-PCMs give many advantages such as the natural compensation for the distorted beams, the easiness of the optical alignments, and so forth.…”

“…Trends in stimulated Brillouin scattering and optical phase conjugation important tool for improving the performance of high power laser systems (Borisov et al, 1983;Dane et al, 1994b;Eichler et al, 1997b;Kappe et al, 2007;Kong et al, 2005aKong et al, , 2005bKong et al, , 2006Kong et al, , 2007Rockwell, 1988;Sumida et al, 1994;Yoshida et al, 1997aYoshida et al, , 1997bYoshida et al, , 1999aYoshida et al, , 1999bYoshida et al, , 2003aYoshida et al, , 2003bZubarev et al, 1980). SBS can provide generation and amplification of laser light, processing of the beam profiles, temporal transformation of the laser pulse (isolation, fast switching, shortening, and compression), and frequency control of the laser pulse (narrowing, broadening and shifting).…”

“…In collisionless plasmas, the nonlinearity arises through the ponderomotive force-induced redistribution of plasma. It is well known that various laser-plasma instabilities like, filamentation (Kaw et al, 1973;Young et al, 1988), harmonic generation (Ozaki et al, 2007;Baeva et al, 2007;Dombi et al, 2009), stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) (Kline et al, 2009), and stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) (Kappe et al, 2007) might be generated from the interaction of laser pulses with plasmas. Advances in ultra short laser pulse technology have made it possible to exploit the Terahertz (THz) frequency range of the electromagnetic spectrum between the microwave and infrared.…”

These instabilities affect the laser-plasma coupling efficiency and SRS can even produce energetic electrons (Estrabrook et al, 1980), which can preheat the fusion fuel and change the compression ratio.…”
