Plasmonic high-order harmonic generation (HHG) is used in nanoscale optical applications because it can help in realizing a compact coherent ultrashort pulse generator on the nanoscale, using plasmonic field enhancement. The plasmonic amplification of nanostructures induces nonlinear optical phenomena such as second-order harmonic generation, third-order harmonic generation, frequency mixing, and HHG. This amplification also causes damage to the structure itself. In this study, the plasmonic amplification according to the design of a metal-coated sapphire conical structure is theoretically calculated, and we analyze the effects of this optical amplification on HHG and damage to the sample.

We present one-color nonlinear wavepacket interferometry (WPI) signal calculations for a system of two electronic levels and one vibrational degree of freedom. We consider two cases, a displaced harmonic oscillator system, which can be treated analytically, and a model photodissociative system, whose WPI signal must be calculated by numerical wavepacket propagation. We show how signals obtained with different combinations of intrapulse-pair phase shifts can be combined to isolate the complex-valued overlap between a given onepulse target wavepacket and a variable three-pulse reference wavepacket. We demonstrate that with a range of inter- and intrapulse-pair delays the complex overlaps and variable reference states can be used to reconstruct the target wavepacket. We compare our results with previous methods for vibronic state reconstruction based on linear WPI and discuss further generalizations of our method.

본 논문은 광자 결정 광섬유에서 100 fs의 펄스 폭을 갖는 펌프 광원의 파장과 입력파워에 따른 초 광대역 광원 생성에 대해 실험적으로 연구하였다. 적절한 파라미터들을 조절함으로써 광 스펙트럼 진폭의 균일함이 10 dB 이내에서 약 750 nm의 스펙트럼 폭을 갖는 초 광대역 광원을 얻어냈다. 사용한 광자 결정 광섬유의 길이는 2 m였고, 펌프광원으로는 모드 록킹된 Ti:Sapphire laser를 사용하였다. 또한, 펌프 광원의 여러 가지 변수들을 바꿔줌으로써 초 광대역 광원의 다양한 스펙트럼 현상을 조절할 수 있었다.

We made a study on real-time determination method for relative position using the laser-measured distance data between satellites. We numerically performed the determination of relative position in accordance with extended Kalman filter algorithm using the vectors obtained through nonlinear equation of relative motion, laser simulator for distance measurement, and attitude determination of chief satellite. Because the spherical parameters of relative distance and direction are used, there occur some changes in precision depending on changes in relative distance when determining the relative position. As a result of simulation, it was possible to determine the relative position with several millimeter-level errors at a distance of 10 km, and sub-millimeter level errors at a distance of 1 km. In addition, we performed the determination of relative position assuming the case that global positioning system data was not received for long hours to see the impact of determination of chief satellite orbit on the determination of relative position. The determination of precise relative position at a long distance carried out in this study can be used for scientific mission using the satellite formation flying.

In this paper, the effects of filter parameters on a supercontinuum-based all-optical thresholder are experimentally investigated. By tuning the filter parameters, the power transfer function and power transmission function are tailored. The experimental results show that a thresholder with short center wavelength has a better power function, and the slope in the middle level of the thresholder increases with increasing bandwidth. Through tuning the filter parameters, the thresholder can achieve a steplike power transfer function for optical thresholding, and a steplike power transmission function for optical self-switching. This makes the supercontinuum-based thresholder more flexible, and allows customization of performance to meet different demands in various applications.

An all-reflective, simple noncollinear second harmonic (SH) autocorrelator is described for monitoring the shot-to-shot behavior of ultrashort high-power laser pulses. Two mirrors are used for the dispersion-free splitting of a pulse into two halves. One of the mirrors is able to adjust the delay time and angle between two halves of the laser pulse in a nonlinear crystal. We present the possibility of real-time measurement of the pulse duration, peak intensity (or energy), and the pointing jitters of a laser pulse, by analyzing the spatial profile of the SH autocorrelation signal measured by a CCD camera. The measurement of the shot-to-shot variation of those parameters will be important for the detailed characterization of laser accelerated electrons or protons.

적외선 영역에서 극초단 펄스 폭을 갖는 $Cr^{4+}$:YAG 레이저를 광자 결정 광섬유에 입사하여 초 연속 스펙트럼을 갖는 광원을 얻어냈다. 이 광원을 이용하여 광통신 파장 영역에서 많은 흡수 전이선을 갖는 아세틸렌($^{12}C_2H_2$) 및 시안화 수소($H^{13}C^{14}N$) 분자의 흡수 스펙트럼을 측정하였다. 초 연속 스펙트럼을 얻기 위해 펌핑 광원으로 모드 잠금된 $Cr^{4+}$:YAG 레이저를 사용하였다. 모드 잠금된 $Cr^{4+}$:YAG 레이저는 중심파장이 1510 nm 대역에서 반복률이 100 MHz이고, 펄스폭은 75 fs이다. 모드 잠금된 $Cr^{4+}$:YAG 레이저 출력을 20 m의 광자 결정 광섬유에 집속시켜 진폭변동이 ${\pm}5dB$이하에서 400 nm 이상의 평탄한 초 연속 스펙트럼을 얻었으며, 전체적으로 한 octave 이상의 초 광대역 광원을 얻었다. 이 광원을 이용하여 50개 이상의 흡수 전이선을 갖는 아세틸렌 분자($^{12}C_2H_2$)와 시안화 수소 분자($H^{13}C^{14}N$)의 흡수 스펙트럼을 측정하고, Voigt 곡선 맞춤을 이용하여 Lorentian 성분의 흡수 선폭을 각각 측정하였다. 이와 같은 초 광대역 광원의 스펙트럼을 이용하면 O, S, C, L 밴드와 같은 대역에 존재하는 분자의 흡수 스펙트럼 측정에 있어 유용하게 사용될 수 있다.
