  • We have characterized the optical parametric chirped-pulse amplification of femtosecond Ti:sapphire laser pulses by using a BBO crystal. It is numerically verified that a high gain and a broad gain bandwidth can be obtained with a 532-nm pump laser. The dependence of the gain profile of OPA on phase matching angles, pump intensity, and crystal length is numerically investigated. Experimental results shows that the temporal fluctuation of a pump laser causes the modulation of an amplified spectrum in OPCPA.

  • A prototype of a relativistic proton generation system, based on laser-induced plasma interaction, has been designed and fabricated. The system is composed of three major parts: a fs TW laser; a target chamber, including targets and controls; and a diagnostic system for charged particles and lasers. An Offner-type pulse stretcher for chirped pulse amplification (CPA) and eight pass pre-amplifier are installed. The main amplifier will be integrated with a new pumping laser. The design values of the laser at the first stage are 1 TW in power and 50 fs in pulse duration. We expect to generate protons with their maximum energy of approximately 3 MeV and the flux of at least $10^6$ per pulse using a 10 $\mu$m Al target. A prototype target chamber with eight 8-inch flanges, including target mounts, has been designed and fabricated. For laser diagnostics, an adaptive optics based on the Shack-Hartmann type, beam monitoring, and alignment system are all under development. For a charged particle, CR-39 detectors, a Thomson parabola spectrometer, and Si charged-particle detectors will be used for the density profile and energy spectrum. In this paper, we present the preliminary design for laser-induced proton generation. We also present plans for future work, as well as theoretical simulations.

  • The flat power spectrum of the transmitter output signal for the desired frequency range is ideal to achieve the best performance of ultrashort pulse reflectometry. However, the power spectrum of a typical pulse generator decreases significantly as frequency increases. A configuration of three chirped waveforms was employed to improve the power spectrum of the transmitter signal at higher frequencies. To determine the amplification gain required for higher frequency components, three chirped waveforms were theoretically generated and their power spectra were measured using numerical band-pass filters. Based on the results of numerical computations, the three chirp configuration was successfully applied to the design of the transmitter for a broadband system.

  • 고출력 펨토초 레이저 기술은 커렌즈 모드록킹 기술, Ti:sapphire 이득매질의 개발, chirped pulse amplification (CPA) 등의 도움으로 1980년대 후반부터 급속히 발전해 왔다. 생성된 펨토초 펄스의 시간적 특성을 정확히 알아내기 위한 방법들도 많이 연구되어 주파수 분해 괌게이팅(FROG)이나 주파수위상 간섭계(SPIDER) 등의 방법들이 기존의 자체상관계를 대체하게 되었다. 극초단 레이저 펄스는 넓은 스펙트럼을 갖고 첨두출력이 높기 때문에 매질이나 광학계를 지나면서 군지연분산, 자체위상변조 등의 효과에 의한 시간적 위상변화가 쉽게 생긴다.

  • A chirped-pulse amplification femtosecond Ti:sapphire laser operating at 1 KHz has been developed. The laser system consisted of a long-cavity femtosecond oscillator, a four-pass grating pulse stretcher, two multi-pass amplifiers and a double-pass grating pulse compressor. Thermal lensing at the amplifiers was reduced by cooling Ti:sapphire crystals using Peltier coolers. Gain narrowing and residual phase errors were compensated for by the use of an acousto-optic pulse shaper. The final laser output had an energy per pulse of 2.0 mJ and a pulse duration of 19.5 fs, reaching 0.1 TW at 1 KHz.

  • 펨토초 레이저의 개발은 커렌즈 모드록킹 (Kerr-lens mode-locking; KLM) 기술이 티타늄사파이어 이득매질에 적용되면서 1990년대에 들어 급격하게 이루어졌다. 구조가 간단하면서 안정적인 KLM 티타늄사파이어 레이저는 현재 펨토초 레이저 광원의 표준을 이루고 있으며, 처프펄스 증폭 (chirped-pulse amplification; CPA) 방식을 이용하여 소규모의 테라와트급 고출력 펨토초 레이저 제작에도 이용되고 있다. 특히, 1990년대 말에는 CPA 증폭단을 갖춘 KLM 티타늄사파이어 레이저가 상용화되면서 물리, 화학과 같은 기초 분야에서뿐만 아니라 의료용, 산업용으로도 활용이 확대되고 있다.
