We present a compact sub-nanosecond diode-end-pumped Nd:YVO 4 laser system running at 1 kHz. A maximum output energy of 65.4 mJ without significant stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) process was obtained with a pulse duration of 600 ps, corresponding to a pulse peak power of 109 MW. Laser pulses from this system had good beam quality, where M 2 < 1.6, and the excellent signal to noise ratio was more than 42 dB. By frequency doubling with an LBO crystal, 532 nm green light with an average power of 40.5 W and a power stability of 0.28% was achieved. The diode-end-pumped pump power limitation on a high peak power amplifier caused by the SRS process and thermal fracture in bulk Nd:YVO 4 crystal is also analyzed.

The third-order susceptibility is expressed as a summation of interfering resonant terms, each involving the phenomenological linewidth of the transition. Correlations of the finite linewidth of the laser sources with |χ(3)|2 (coherent anti-Stokes Raman spectroscopy) and –χ” (stimulated Raman scattering) are performed and closed-form expressions for the theoretical profiles are obtained.

White laser with balanced performance of broad bandwidth, high average and peak power, large pulse energy, high spatial and temporal coherence, controllable spectrum profile, and overall chroma are highly desirable in various fields of modern science. Here, for the first time, we report an innovative scheme of harnessing the synergic action of both the second-order nonlinearity (2nd-NL) and the third-order nonlinearity (3rd-NL) in a single chirped periodically poled lithium niobate (CPPLN) nonlinear photonic crystal driven by a high-peak-power near-infrared (NIR) (central wavelength~1400 nm, energy~100 μJ per pulse) femtosecond pump laser to produce visible to near infrared (vis-NIR, 400-900 nm) supercontinuum white laser. The CPPLN involves a series of reciprocal-lattice bands that can be exploited to support quasiphase matching for simultaneous broadband second- and third-harmonic generations (SHG and THG) with considerable conversion efficiency. Due to the remarkable 3rd-NL which is due to the high energy density of the pump, SHG and THG laser pulses will induce significant spectral broadening in them and eventually generate bright vis-NIR white laser with high conversion efficiency up to 30%. Moreover, the spectral profile and overall chroma of output white laser can be widely modulated by adjusting the pump laser intensity, wavelength, and polarization. Our work indicates that one can deeply engineer the synergic and collective action of 2nd-NL and 3rd-NL in nonlinear crystals to accomplish high peak power, ultrabroadband vis-NIR white laser and hopefully realize the even greater but much more challenging dream of ultraviolet-visible-infrared full-spectrum laser.

Femtosecond material response of several liquid samples were measured with use of a newly developed “phase-stabilized” optical heterodyne detected impulsive stimulated Raman scattering (ISRS) spectrometer. In this apparatus, the ISRS signal generated with ordinary transient grating geometry is mixed with femtosecond optical pulses (local oscillator, LO) in an interferometer, and the interfered intensity is detected. The subwavelength-accuracy adjustment/stabilization is achieved for the optical path length in the interferometer so that the relative optical phase between the ISRS signal and LO can be controlled. The ISRS signals linearized to each tensor element of the third-order response function were obtained, and discussed.
