A study of Excitation dynamics of Strained Saturable Bragg Reflector by Chirped Control Pump-Probe Measurement Technique

In this thesis, a chirp-controlled pump-probe system has been developed to investigate the role of chirp in mode-locking mechanism. By modulating pump power and focusing condition, power, chirp, and wavelength dependent transient reflectivity ( £GR /R), pulse duration, and amplitude ratio in pump-probe measurement for the multiply-strained-quantum-well saturable Bragg reflector (SSBR) are presented. According this study, one can find a more efficient and stable mode-locking mechanism through proper chirp arrangement inside cavity.
Compared to the case of transform-limited pump condition, shorter fast-carrier-lifetime and smaller amplitude ratio of slow and fast relaxation contribution are observed in negative chirp excitation condition. Meanwhile, we can see that there is a shorter fast-carrier-lifetime and a smaller amplitude ratio in case of excitation pulse with -25000 ( fs^2 ) chirp or increasing fluence ¡]2 £gm/cm^2->12 £gm/cm^2 ¡^. The results show that the pulse compression strength is stronger in -25000 ( fs^2 ) chirp and full with the tendency demonstrated by pulse shaping factor. All of these experimental results show that -25000 ( fs^2 ) chirp is the best chirped control condition to make mode-locking more efficient and stable. In addition, with the increasing fluence ¡]2 ->12 £gm/cm^2 ¡^, three times of saturable fluence, a more stable and efficient mode-locking condition is expectable.
