Optically Controlled Devices and Ultrafast Laser Sources for Signal Processing

Abstract

This report summarizes two significant achievements from this research: (1) successful development of a CW mode-locked Nd: glass laser system which is capable of delivering 0.5 ps pulses with 11 micron J/pulse at 400 Hz, 30 fs pulses with 70 nJ/pulse at 400 Hz. This is a world record at this wavelength, (2) natural and synthetic diamond photoconductive devices have been developed for high field (> MV/cm and high-speed (ps) applications. There are five (5) publications included here as appendices.
