Ultra-fast photon and electron beam diagnostics for free electron lasersYan, Xiaoling January 2003 (has links)
Characterisation of the ultra-short optical pulses produced by infrared ffee-electron lasers (FELs) is an important task, not only for the further development of free electron lasers and their theory, but also for their operation as a research tool. The setting up and optimisation of the FEL requires effective and reliable diagnostics tools. This thesis presents techniques for the measurement of sub-picosecond optical and electron pulses. A range of techniques is developed that allows measurements of the electric field of both optical pulses and electron bunches to be made with an accuracy of better than 100 fs. These techniques have been used to obtain the first complete electricfield characterisation of ultra-short pulses from a far-infrared FEL; to study the formation of singlesided exponential optical pulses in two FELs; and to obtain the longitudinal profile of electron bunches, both by probing the near-field transition radiation and by directly sensing the Coulomb field of the electron bunches. Although the techniques described are not truly single-shot - requiring measurements averaged over a period of a few microseconds - ways in which they could be extended to provide single-shot capability are discussed.

Manipulating supercontinuum generation and its applicationsQiu, Yi, Josephine, 裘一 January 2014 (has links)
Due to the large penetration depth in tissues, ultra-broadband supercontinuum (SC) in the 1m wavelength range, which is regarded as a diagnostic window in bio-photonics, represents a versatile light source for a wide range of bio-imaging and spectroscopy applications. In particular, dispersive Fourier transform (DFT) has recently emerged as anultrafast optical technique forimaging and spectroscopy. Thus, In order to employ the SC source for DFT, it has to exhibit ultra-broad bandwidth as well as good temporal stability– the two important metrics for practical high-speed bio-imaging and spectroscopy applications.
In this thesis, we first demonstrate stabilized and enhanced SC generation (in the anomalous dispersion regime) at 1m by a minute continuous-wave (CW) seeding scheme. By introducing a weak CW which is around 200,000 times weaker than the pump, a significant broadening in the SC bandwidth and an improvement in the temporal stability is obtained. This seeding scheme allows, for the first time,1m DFT at a spectral acquisition rate of 20MHz with good temporal stability-paving the way toward realizing practical real-time, ultrafast biomedical spectroscopy and imaging.
For the DFT part, instead of using the regular specialty 1m single mode fiber (SMF) as the dispersive elements, we here explore and demonstrate the feasibility of using the standard telecommunication single-mode fibers (e.g. SMF28 and dispersion compensating fiber (DCF)) as few-mode fibers (FMFs) for optical time-stretch confocal microscopy in the 1m region. By evaluating group velocity dispersion (GVD) of different FMF modes and thus the corresponding time-stretch performances, we show that the fundamental modes (LP01) of SMF28 and DCF, having sufficiently high dispersion-to-loss ratios, are particularly useful for practical time-stretch spectroscopy and microscopy in the 1m region, without the need for the specialty 1m(single mode fiber) SMF. More intriguingly, the ability of selective modal excitation in FMFs also enables us to utilize the higher-order FMF modes (e.g. LP11) for time-stretch imaging. Such additional degrees of freedom create a new avenue for optimizing and designing the time-stretch operations, such as by tailored engineering of the modal-dispersion as well as the GVD of the individual FMF modes.
In the search for stable and efficient SC generation for practical bio-imaging and spectroscopy, we also numerically investigate the active enhancement of the seeded-SC generation pumped in the normal dispersion regime. Similarly, we introduced a minute CW seeding scheme, more specifically seeding spectrally coincides with the Raman gain peak of the pump. With this design, the SC bandwidth can be enhanced to more than one octave, even when the pump is far away from zero dispersion wavelengths (ZDW) (~100nm) in the normal dispersion regime. This new seeding mechanism opens opportunities to expand the scope of active seeding mechanism for enhancing SC generation to the normal dispersion regime. / published_or_final_version / Electrical and Electronic Engineering / Doctoral / Doctor of Philosophy

Designing a low cost passively Q-switched solid state laser transmitterMadlala, Bigboy January 2017 (has links)
A dissertation submitted to the Faculty Of Science in partial fulfilment of the
requirements for the degree of
Master of Science by research only
in the School of Physics, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg. July 11, 2017. / A discrete Q-switched laser that gives a side-lobed single pulse as a laser output was
implemented; followed by studying energy extraction e ciencies and pulse characterisation.
The aim was to help design a passively Q-switched laser that gives a smooth single pulse of
optimum energy as a laser output. The smoothness feature in a single pulse is important in
some applications such as range nding. The concepts are demonstrated both experimentally
and numerically; the latter using Fox-Li approach to modeling resonator modes with
the Fresnel's integral for the system under study.
In the rst two chapters, fundamentals of how a laser works and the spatial mode development
are studied. In chapter 1, the principles of a laser are discussed: absorption,
spontaneous and stimulated emission. Also, di erent types of pumping sources and resonator
con gurations that can be used are discussed. In chapter 2, the focus is on developing spatial
modes of a laser. The fundamental and high order modes are discussed together with their
propagation laws. Then a numerical method is used to nd the eigenmodes of an arbitrary
resonator con guration. This numerical method is used to simulate propagation of a fundamental
mode and the simulation results are compared to analytical propagation laws. Then,
this numerical method is used to simulate a laser resonator. The eigenmode of the lowest
loss in the resonator was found.
In chapters 3 and 4, experimental work is done on a Q-switched laser where the focus is
on the overall laser performance. In chapter 3, Q-switched laser output energies are studied
for di erent combinations of Q-switch transmission values and output coupler re
ectivities.
In addition, the in
uence of spatial modes on a Q-switched pulse shape and pulse width are
studied, taking into account beam divergence. In chapter 4, conclusions and future work are
presented. In future work, the knowledge of spatial mode in
uence on pulse shape, pulse
width and beam divergence from chapter 3 is exploited. Then particular resonator con guration
that gives optimised output results (Q-switched laser output energy, beam divergence,
pulse shape and pulse width) is chosen. On that particular resonator, di erent Q-switch
transmission values are studied, but now looking only at beam divergence and pulse width.
Also, some suggestions on further improving laser performance are given. / LG2018
