AbstractPump-probe imaging of femtosecond pulsed laser ablation was performed to investigate the mechanical shock induced on an intermetallic superalloy CMSX-4 during femtosecond laser machining. Time resolved shadowgraphic images were collected of the shock wave produced in the air above the target following laser exposure (0-10.3 nanoseconds). The dimensions of the shock wave were measured as a function of delay time and laser fluence (1.27 J/cm2 - 62.8 J/cm2). Time-resolved shadowgraphic images of the ablation event will be presented, and the corresponding damage morphology as a function of incident laser fluence will be discussed.

Laser damage performance is an important parameter to evaluate the quality of high power laser optical components. Understanding the physical mechanism of the interaction between laser and optical material is of great significance for improving the laser damage resistance of optical elements. For nanosecond pulsed laser, the time duration of laser-induced damage is ultra-short, and the measurement of related physical quantities is very difficult. Therefore, the Time Resolved Pump and Probe (TRPP) technique can effectively solve this problem. TRPP shadow imaging can obtain the transient dynamic information in range of picosecond to microsecond, including the plasma formation in the early stage, the shock wave propagation, the crack expanding, material ejection and other phenomena. Moreover, the ultra-fast physical quantities can be accurately measured by employing two detective beams with perpendicular polarization directions, for example S and P polarization light. All those information provides effective experimental data to reveal the physical mechanism of damage process.

Terahertz (THz) radiation sources are increasingly significant for many scientific frontiers, while the generation of THz radiation with high-power at wide-tunable frequencies is still a limitation for most existing methods. In this paper, a compact accelerator-based light source is proposed to produce coherent THz radiation with high pulse energy and tunable frequency from 0.1 THz to 60 THz. By using a frequency beating laser-modulated electron beam and undulator taper, intense coherent THz radiation can be generated through undulators. Theoretical analysis and numerical simulations demonstrate that the proposed technique can generate narrow-bandwidth THz radiation with a pulse energy up to 6.3 millijoule (mJ) and the three-dimensional effects of beam has limited influence on its performance. The proposed technique will open up new opportunities for THz spectroscopic and time-resolved experiments.
