Times Cited Count:5 Percentile:26.42(Materials Science, Multidisciplinary)Bulk samples of NiNb and NiTa intermetallic compounds were irradiated with 16 MeV Au, 4.5 MeV Ni, 4.5 MeV Al, 200 MeV Xe and 1.0 MeV He ions, and the change in near-surface lattice structure was investigated by means of the grazing incidence X-ray diffraction (GIXD)and EXAFS. The NiNb and NiTa lattice structures transform from the ordered structures (orthorhombic and monoclinic structures for NiNb and NiTa, respectively) to the amorphous state by the Au, Ni, Al and Xe ion irradiations. Irrespective of such heavy ion species or energies, the lattice structure transformation to the amorphous state almost correlate with the density of energy deposited through elastic collisions.

Times Cited Count:25 Percentile:78.83(Optics)We have developed a 1 kHz repetition picosecond laser system dedicated for intense terahertz (THz) pulse generation. The system comprises a chirped pulse amplification laser equipped with a Yb:YAG thin-disk amplifier. At room temperature, the Yb:YAG thin-disk regenerative amplifier provides pulses having energy of over 10 mJ and spectral bandwidth of 1.2 nm. The pulse duration achieved after passage through a diffraction grating pair compressor was 1.3 ps. By employing this picosecond laser as a pump source, THz pulses having a peak frequency of 0.3 THz and 4 J of energy were generated by means of optical rectification in an Mg-doped LiNbO crystal.

We have constructed a high power kHz laser system using Yb:YAG thin-disk as a gain medium for a driver laser of THz wave generation. A 4-bounce regenerative amplifier is constructed and output energy up to 10 mJ is obtained. Using compressed pulse, we demonstrated THz wave generation with LiNbO crystal.

Times Cited Count:34 Percentile:86.29(Optics)A novel design for a contact grating device with an incorporated Fabry-Perot resonator is proposed for high-power terahertz light (THz) generation. We deposited a multilayer consisting of TaO and AlO on a magnesium-doped stoichiometric LiNbO substrate and fabricated grating grooves on the outermost layer. The multilayer was designed such that conditions for a Fabry-Perot resonator were satisfied for light diffracted by the grating. Consequently, the fraction of light transmitted into the LiNbO substrate, i.e., the diffraction efficiency, was enhanced by the resonator. The diffraction efficiency of the fabricated device was 71%, which is close to the calculated value of 78% from the optimized design. THz light generation was also demonstrated with the contact grating device. The THz output of 0.41 microJ was obtained using NIR pump light of 2.7 mJ.

The main subject of our group is upgrade of J-KAREN and TOPAZ laser systems. The J-KAREN achieves the potential for generating a peak power of 500 TW, and exceeds a contrast ratio of 10E10. The TOPAZ achieves pulse power of 15 J at a repetition rate of 0.1 Hz. We also started a development of another laser system named QUADRA (Quality Ultra ADvanced RAdiation Source) in C-Phost. The QUADRA system is a high averaged short pulse laser pumped by high power LD at kHz repetition rate. This development is essential for the developments of other new laser systems in the next 5-year program of JAEA.

We are developing intense THz light source to realize control of molecular axis orientation in space. From the theoretical studies by Hebling and co-workers, it has been known that the desirable excitation NIR pulse for the THz light generation process in the Mg-sLiNbO crystal should have the pulse width of 400 fs - 1 ps, and the tilted pulse front by 63 degree. To generate such NIR light, the Yb:YAG based amplifier system is one of the good candidates. By using this system, we are trying to generate the intense THz light with the high repetition rate (1 kHz).

We will present current status of a driver laser system for intense THz wave generation. The driver laser system, QUADRA-T, is a 1 kHz repetition CPA laser equipped with Yb:YAG thin disk amplifier. Current output power from a regenerative amplifier is about 10 W (10 mJ/pulse). Upgrade to 100W class power output using a multi-pass amplifier is the next plan.

We are developing a high average power laser system using Yb:YAG thin-disk amplifiers. Currently picoseconds pulses with 10 mJ energy are delivered from the regenerative amplifier at repetition rate of 1 kHz. The pulse energy will increase up to 100 mJ by a Yb:YAG thin-disk multi-pass amplifier. The picosecond pulses have been used in several applications such as intense THz light wave generation, laser induced damage test, and so on. I will present details of the laser system and preliminary results of applications.
