We generated 9-fs pulses from a Kerr-lens mode-locked Ti:sapphire laser only using commercial optical components. Two sets of prisms pair made of fused silica were used to compensate group delay dispersion inside and outside the laser oscillator respectively, and broadband mirrors were used to obtain a broad spectrum. By comparison between reflectance curves of the broadband mirrors and those of previous ones, broadband mirrors which have high reflectance bandwidth of over 180 nm were found to be essential to produce sub-IO-fs pulses. ulses.

초미세 레이저 가공기술은 미세화, 대면적화, 고속화의 방향으로 발전되고 있다. 이에 따라 이를 대응한 레이저의 사양도 파장의 단파장화 또는 펄스폭의 극초단화, 펄스 반복률의 고반복률화, 출력의 고출력화가 요구되고 있다. 극초단 펄스레이저는 사용자 편의성, 안정성 측면에서 산업체의 요구에 미흡하다. 이에 따라 산업용 초미세 레이저 가공을 위한 광원으로 고품질, 고출력의 단파장 자외선 레이저 활용에 집중하고 있다. 현재 고품질 자외선 레이지는 DPSSL 형태로 구성되어 출시되고 있고, 거의 대부분 수입에 의존하고 있다. 국내외 자외선 UV 현황을 간단히 기술하고, 광주과기원 고등광기술연구소에서 산업원천기술개발사업의 일환으로 개발중인 복합형 자외선 DPSSL에 대한 개발 계획 레이저 특성과 현재의 개발 진행 상황을 소개한다.

The cavity-length detuning characteristics of the hybridly mode-locked dye laser have been studied with a collinear autocorrelator. In the optimum condition, the pulse width is 0.65 ps about three times as short as that of the synchronously mode-locked dye laser. As the cavity length is increased, the pulse width becomes broader than that at the optimum cavity length because of the effect of spontaneous emission. Also, the spectrum width becomes broad, therefore the time bandwidth product ($\Deltat\Deltav$) is increased. The peak power of autocorrelation is maximum at $\Deltat=5.0\umm$ longer than the optimum cavity length. On the other hand, as the cavity length is decreased, the pulse width becomes broader and the satellite pulses appear because of the gain recovery. Also the spectrum width becomes narrower than that at the optimum cavity length. In particular, at the mismatched cavity length the center of the lasing spectrum moves to shorter wavelengths. ngths.

We have developed a mode-locked ultra-short pulse C $r^{4+}$:YAG laser, as well as a continuous wave C $r^{4+}$:YAG laser. The laser was pumped by a Nd:YAG laser and its characteristics were investigated. In continuous wave mode, we obtained as much as 600 mW at 1.436 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ with pumping power of 6 W, by using an output coupler with a reflectivity of 98%. The power slope efficiency was 10%, when the gain medium was cooled to 19$^{\circ}C$. The tuning range was varied from 1.39 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ to 1.55 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ and the maximum power was 400 mW at 1.492 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ with a 3-plate birefringent filter. The C $r^{4+}$:YAG laser was mode-locked by a Kerr lens mode locking method. Mode locking at 1.436 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$was initiated by slightly rocking a mirror mount. But the pulses were very unstable because of the strong water absorption at this region. So we shifted the lasing wavelength to 1.492 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ by using a 3-plate birefringent filter. Then we obtained stable state mode-locking with the maximum average power of 280 mW for a pumping power of 6 W. The pulse width of 43 fs was measured using an autocorrelator and the repetition rate was 104.5 MHz.

Wavelength and repetition-rate tunable optical pulse-trains for ultrafast optical time- and wavelength division multiplexing are generated from a semiconductor fiber ring laser by optical injection mode-locking. The pulse trains show the pulse with of ${\sim}10$ ps and the wavelength tuning of wider than 30 nm at various repetition-rates of 10 GHz, 20 GHz, 30 GHz and 40 GHz, respectively.

We have demonstrated the wavelength tunable ultrashort pulse fiber ring laser proposed the novel method for measuring the cavity loss from relaxation oscillation frequency and the pump power. To suppress the polarization instability the laser cavity is configured with polarization maintaining fibers and to control the center wavelength a 2.4 nm bandwidth tunable wavelength filter was inserted in the cavity. The laser has 8 picosecond pulse width, 10 GHz repetition rate and 1.2 mW average power in 1530-1560 nm operation range.

Spectral phase interferometry for direct electric-field reconstruction (SPIDER) was fabricated and used to characterize pulses from a Ti:sapphire oscillator. In the SPIDER apparatus, two replicas of the input pulse were generated with a time delay of 200 fs and were upconverted by use of sum-frequency generation with a strongly chirped pulse using a 8-cm-long SFIO glass block at a 30-11m-thick type II BBO (p-BaBz04) crystal. The resulting interferogram was recorded with a UV-enhanced CCD array in the spectrometer. The spectral phase was retrieved by SPIDER algorithm in combination with independently measured pulse spectrum and the corresponding temporal intensity profile was reconstructed with a duration of 19 fs. As an independent cross-check of the accuracy of the method, we compared the interferometric autocorrelation (lAC) signal calculated from the SPIDER data with a separately measured lAC. The conventional, but unjustified, method of fitting a sechz pulse to the autocorrelation deceivingly yielded a pulse duration of 15 fs. This systematic underestimation of the pulse duration affirms the need for a complete characterization method. From the consideration in this paper, we concluded that the SPIDER could provide an accurate characterization of femtosecond pulses. ulses.

In this study, ray-tracing software was used to calculate the optical path length of an optical system. Using the optical path length, the optical phase, group delay (GD), group delay dispersion (GDD), and third-order dispersion (TOD) of the optical system were obtained. Pulse compressors using a prism pair or grating pair were designed to compensate the GDD of a real optical system for a femtosecond fiber laser. Also, a pulse stretcher using a grating pair with lenses or mirrors was designed. The results of this study can be used to calculate the dispersion of an optical system and optimize the performance of an ultrashort pulse laser optical system.

최근에 극초단 고출력 레이저가 개발됨에 따라 이에 의한 강한 비선형 현상중의 하나인 고차 조화파(high-order harmonics)의 발생이 가능하게 되었다. 조사 레이저와 원자 간의 결맞는 과정에 의해서 생성된 고차 조화파는 레이저와 같은 좋은 결맞음과 펨토초 이하의 아주 짧은 펄스폭을 가질 수 있기 때문에 플라즈마 진단, 극자외선 광원을 이용한 비선형 광학, 아토초 영역의 물리적 현상을 관측하는데 아주 유용한 광원이 될 것으로 여겨져 오고 있다. (중략)
