摘要： In a general aspect, a chirped optical pulse is compressed by operation of diffraction gratings and a dispersive mirror having a smooth reflective surface. In some aspects, a chirped pulse laser system includes a programmable optical dispersive filter (PODF) operable to modify a spectral phase of optical pulses and a pulse compressor that receives an optical pulse based on an output of the PODF. The pulse compressor includes optical elements in a vacuum chamber. The optical elements define an optical path through the pulse compressor, and are arranged to disperse the optical pulse in the optical path. The optical elements include diffraction gratings and a dispersive mirror, which has a smooth reflective surface that defines a portion of the optical path.

摘要： Apparatus and methods for self-cleaning of optical elements in sealed environments over a wide range of operating optical frequencies prevent long-term power degradation by introducing low-pressure backfill of a reactive gas such as oxygen into a vacuum chamber containing the optical elements. The backfill pressure is preferably between 10−4 torr and 10 torr, and generally between 0.1 torr and 2 torr at room temperature. The vacuum chamber may be continuously evacuated and backfilled, or may be sealed after evacuation and backfill is performed.

摘要： Methods and constructions for cryogenically cooled solid state lasers are provided that allow the cooling channels to be embedded within the buffer heat sinks used to conductively cool the laser medium. Several gain medium geometries are disclosed that are compatible with efficient and straight forward cryogenic cooling techniques using practical pump chamber designs while eliminating the need for the pump light to traverse the cryogenic layers and allowing for smooth temperature cycling. A number of active material configurations that can be generally adapted for pumping by high power diodes, including slab, thin disk, active mirror, and rod geometries, are shown to be compatible with the cryogenic cooling approaches. Modeling results based on the preferred cooling configurations indicate substantial improvement in the performance of common solid state lasers, including Nd- and Yb-doped lasers. These improvements have been realized in a multiple thin-disk Yb:YAG folded resonator configuration.
