We describe three specific high power laser systems that are being developed in our laboratory for many applications in high field science, nonlinear optics and material processing. We report on a femtosecond petawatt-class Ti:sapphire chirped-pulse amplification laser system that can produce a pulse energy of 20 J of 40 fs pulse duration, a picosecond high intensity Yb:YAG chirped-pulse amplification laser system that can generate a pulse energy of 100 mJ of 0.5 ps pulse duration, and a nanosecond high repetition rate Nd:YAG laser system that can provide an average power of 360 W with a pulse duration of 30 ns delivered at a 1 kHz repetition rate. We discuss the basic design aspects and present the results from our experimental investigations of these laser systems.

Times Cited Count：0 Percentile：0.13(Physics, Applied)We have reported hundred mJ level, femtosecond pulse duration with the high temporal contrast in an OPCPA/Yb:YAG ceramic thin disk laser system at 10 Hz repetition rate. At an input laser pulse energy of 3.8 mJ from the OPCPA preamplifer the output energy of 130 mJ with spectral bandwidth of 2.5 nm has been obtained from multipass Yb:YAG ceramic thin disk amplifier, and the optical efficiency from LD energy to amplified laser pulse is 9.6%. The recompressed laser pulse duration was measured to be 450 fs. Because the compressor efficiency exceeds 73% the compressed pulse energy can potentially be as high as 95 mJ. The contrast level of this laser pulse was measured to be less than 7.2

at -150 ps. This novel laser system after further amplification using additional amplifiers can be useful for the laser-driven proton acceleration in future.

We demonstrate a compact, high-spatiotemporal-quality, high-intensity diode-pumped Yb:YAG thin-disk chirped-pulse amplification (CPA) laser system that incorporates a nonlinear preamplifier based on optical parametric chirped-pulse amplification (OPCPA). The stretched pulses are amplified in the OPCPA preamplifier and the following Yb:YAG main amplifier to 
100 mJ at 10 Hz. The broadband amplified beam quality of 1.1 (horizontal direction) and 1.4 (vertical direction) times diffraction limited and pulse compression down to 470 fs with contrast of better than 10
have been achieved successfully.

Times Cited Count：7 Percentile：37.56(Optics)We report the highest energy broadband laser pulses at a center wavelength of 1030 nm based on optical parametric chirped-pulse amplification (OPCPA). We have demonstrated amplification of 1030 nm femtosecond laser pulses from a broadband Yb oscillator to over 6.5 mJ with a total gain of greater than 10
achieved in a single pass through only 56 mm of gain material at a 10 Hz repetition rate. The amplified spectral bandwidth of 10.8 nm affords recompression to a 230 fs pulse duration following amplification. As an alternative to the regenerative amplifier (RA) this system is one of the more promising candidates for realizing compact, high intensity, direct diode pumped, high repetition rate femtosecond Yb:YAG chirped-pulse amplification (CPA) in laser systems.

We demonstrate a high-contrast, high-intensity double chirped-pulse amplification (CPA) Ti:sapphire laser system using an optical parametric chirped-pulse amplifier (OPCPA) as a preamplifier. By injecting cleaned microjoule seed pulses into the OPCPA, a temporal contrast greater than 10 within picosecond times before the main femtosecond pulse is demonstrated with the output pulse energy of 1.7 J and pulse duration of 30 fs, corresponding to a peak power of 60 TW at a 10 Hz repetition rate. This system uses a cryogenically-cooled Ti:sapphire final amplifier and generates focused peak intensities in excess of 10 W/cm.

Bifunctional cation exchange fibers were synthesized by co-grafting of chloromethylstylene and styrene. on polyethylene-coated polypropylene fibers. The grafted fibers were fictionalized by Arbuzov reaction, suffonation, and acid hydrolysis. Batchwise evaluation of metal ion selectivity clarified that the bifunctional fiber exhibited cooperative recognition of metal ions by both functional groups. The bifunctional fiber took up Pb(II) more rapidly than the monofunctional phosphoric acid fiber and commercial resin adsorbent. Column-mode experiment revealed that flow rate was independent of break through profiles of Pb(II) up to flow rate of 900 h
in space velocity.

An event that a pre-filter burned on fire took place in the glove box dismantlement facility of Plutonium Production Facility, on April 21, 2003. The direct cause of this event was considered to be sparks generated by an abrasive wheel cutter, some of which reached the pre-filter and eventually burned the pre-filter. Further investigation revealed that there exist other deficiencies those of which formed indirect causes of the event, such as the wheel cutter was used without protective cover and adequate shield against sparks was not installed during the operation. To prevent similar event in the future, following corrective actions were introduced. Wheel cutter will not be used without protective cover; Incombustible pre-filter will be used; Shield will be place at the front of the pre-filter. We have conducted series of experimental tests in order to evaluate and confirm the validity of these corrective actions as well as determine the cause of the fire. This report present the results of these tests.

Our laser research and development group was newly founded in this April. The aim of our group is to build up powerful light sources promoting the high-peak optical field science such as laser particle acceleration and quantum beam generation, etc. To realize our mission, we will intend to develop the essential technology for the upgrade of J-KAREN and TOPAZ systems. These essential technologies that will be developed in two laser systems can be absolutely used for the advanced laser light source in near future.

We demonstrated laser peak intensity above 10W/cm and temporal contrast exceeding 10 at a 10 Hz repetition rate with a 60 TW, 30 fs laser (J-KAREN laser). Here we report the upgrade of the J-KAREN laser to the petawatt peak power level. This is accomplished by adding a Ti:sapphire booster amplifier downstream of the final amplifier chain of the 60 TW J-KAREN laser system. Stretched pulses of energy 3 J from the previous J-KAREN laser are up-collimated and introduced into the final booster amplifier. The booster amplifier consists of a large-aperture Ti:sapphire crystal pumped by a frequency-doubled Nd:silicate glass laser with pulse energy 60 J. Diffractive optical elements are used for pump beam homogenization to maintain a uniform spatial profile and reliable, damage-free operation. The system produces an uncompressed output pulse energy exceeding 30 J with a near homogeneous flat-top spatial distribution, indicating potential peak power of 500 TW.

We have demonstrated amplification of 1030 nm broadband chirped-pulses from an ytterbium (Yb) femtosecond oscillator to over 6.5 mJ with a total gain of greater than 10 achieved by a single pass through only 56 mm of gain material at a 10 Hz repetition rate. The amplified broad bandwidth of 10.8 nm affords recompression to a 230 fs pulse duration following amplification. This novel system is a promising alternative to the RA as a nonlinear preamplifier for compact, high intensity, Yb:YAG CPA laser using DPPSL systems.
