Scientific and educational laboratory complex on nonlinear optics of femtosecond pulses
Purpose
The complex was designed for fundamental and applied research and training of undergraduate, Master and PhD students in the field of work with ultrashort laser pulses. It enables to study the physical principles of femtosecond pulses generation, measurement of their duration and generation of a supercontinuum.
Description
The complex includes a driving laser source of femtosecond pulse radiation, system for decrease of the femtosecond pulses rate and increase of the safety level, second harmonic generator, system for generation of a supercontinuum, and an autocorrelation meter of femtosecond pulses duration.
Characteristics:
- Wavelength: 1,040 nm
- Laser pulse duration: 90fs
- Pulse rate: 70 MHz
- Laboratory pulse rate: 7 kHz
- Pulse energy: 30 nJ
- Average output power at 1,040 nm: 2 W
- Second harmonic generator (520 nm)
- Supercontinuum generator with an output spectrum width of 50 nm
The novelty of the development is determined by the modular structure of the complex, which allows students to study the principles of generation of femtosecond
pulses and their nonlinear optical transformations, including the generation of a supercontinuum; as well as the use of optical fibers for supercontinuum realizing at pulse energies of 10 nJ.
