Instrumentation for High Speed Phase Conjugation

Abstract

With this equipment grant we have established and instrumented an optical laser source at 1.06 microns and three harmonics, with the added capability of a tunable dye laser pumped at any of these harmonics. Pulse lengths are available from 10 to 10(5) picosecond. Maximum pulse energy is 0.4 J at 1.06 microns in 4 nsec. First measurements on new optical polymers show them to be promising as stable room-temperature nonlinear optical materials.
