Implementation of Laser-Induced Anti-Stokes Fluorescence Power Cooling of Ytterbium-Doped Silica Glass.

ABSTRACT: Laser cooling of a solid is achieved when a coherent laser illuminates the material, and the heat is extracted by annihilation of phonons resulting in anti-Stokes fluorescence. Over the past year, net solid-state laser cooling was successfully demonstrated for the first time in Yb-doped silica glass in both bulk samples and fibers. Here, we report more than 6 K of cooling below the ambient temperature, which is the lowest temperature achieved in solid-state laser cooling of silica glass to date to the best of our knowledge. We present details on the experiment performed using a 20 W laser operating at a 1035 nm wavelength and temperature measurements using both a thermal camera and the differential luminescence thermometry technique.

Development of ytterbium-doped oxyfluoride glasses for laser cooling applications.

Project description:Oxyfluoride glasses doped with 2, 5, 8, 12, 16 and 20 mol% of ytterbium (Yb(3+)) ions have been prepared by the conventional melt-quenching technique. Their optical, thermal and thermo-mechanical properties were characterized. Luminescence intensity at 1020 nm under laser excitation at 920 nm decreases with increasing Yb(3+) concentration, suggesting a decrease in the photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY). The PLQY of the samples was measured with an integrating sphere using an absolute method. The highest PLQY was found to be 0.99(11) for the 2 mol% Yb(3+): glass and decreases with increasing Yb(3+) concentration. The mean fluorescence wavelength and background absorption of the samples were also evaluated. Upconversion luminescence under 975 nm laser excitation was observed and attributed to the presence of Tm(3+) and Er(3+) ions which exist as impurity traces with YbF3 starting powder. Decay curves for the Yb(3+): (2)F5/2 → (2)F7/2 transition exhibit single exponential behavior for all the samples, although lifetime decrease was observed for the excited level of Yb(3+) with increasing Yb(3+) concentration. Also observed are an increase in the PLQY and a slight decrease in lifetime with increasing the pump power. Finally, the potential of these oxyfluoride glasses with high PLQY and low background absorption for laser cooling applications is discussed.

Demonstration of laser cooling in a novel all oxide GAYY silica glass.

Project description:We demonstrate laser induced cooling in ytterbium doped silica (SiO2) glass with alumina, yttria co-doping (GAYY-Aluminum: Yttrium: Ytterbium Glass) fabricated using the modified chemical vapour deposition (MCVD) technique. A maximum temperature reduction by - 0.9 K from room temperature (296 K) at atmospheric pressure was achieved using only 6.5 W of 1029 nm laser radiation. The developed fabrication process allows us to incorporate ytterbium at concentration of 4 × 1026 ions/m3 which is the highest value reported for laser cooling without clustering or lifetime shortening, as well as to reach a very low background absorptive loss of 10 dB/km. The numerical simulation of temperature change versus pump power well agrees with the observation and predicts, for the same conditions, a temperature reduction of 4 K from room temperature in a vacuum. This novel silica glass has a high potential for a vast number of applications in laser cooling such as radiation-balanced amplifiers and high-power lasers including fiber lasers.

Ytterbium-Phosphate Glass for Microstructured Fiber Laser.

Project description:In the paper, we report on the development of a synthesis and melting method of phosphate glasses designed for active microstructured fiber manufacturing. Non-doped glass synthesized in a P₂O₅-Al₂O₃-BaO-ZnO-MgO-Na₂O oxide system served as the matrix material; meanwhile, the glass was doped with 6 mol% (18 wt%) of Yb₂O₃, as fiber core. The glasses were well-fitted in relation to optical (refractive index) and thermal proprieties (thermal expansion coefficient, rheology). The fiber with the Yb3+-doped core, with a wide internal photonic microstructure for a laser pump, as well as with a high relative hole size in the photonic outer air-cladding, was produced. The laser built on the basis of this fiber enabled achieving 8.07 W of output power with 20.5% slope efficiency against the launched pump power, in single-mode operation M² = 1.59, from a 53 cm-long cavity.

Transparent Glass Surfaces with Silica Nanopillars for Radiative Cooling.

Project description:The increasing global use of cooling systems and the need of reducing greenhouse effect are pushing the emergence of more efficient cooling methods. In particular, passive radiative cooling technology extracts heat from objects by tailoring their optical emissivity using surface micro- and nanostructuring. Being capable of increasing thermal emissivity is especially relevant for widespread glass structures and devices, e.g., displays, car and building windows, and solar cells. In this paper, we propose a scalable lithography-free nanostructuring method to increase the infrared (IR) emissivity of glass by reducing the high reflection associated with the SiO2 Reststrahlen band around 9 μm wavelength. Furthermore, we show that with an additional thin polymer coating the scattering (haze) in the visible due to the deep nanostructures can be dramatically reduced while maintaining the large IR emissivity. We experimentally prove that our nanostructured surface can extract more heat via radiation emission than the bare glass substrate, while keeping full transparency.

Effect of absorption recovery in bismuth-doped silica glass at 1450 nm on soliton grouping in fiber laser.

Project description:Saturable absorption in bismuth-doped glasses was found to have a noticeable influence on soliton interaction and group formation. This phenomenon, observed in 1450 nm mode-locked bismuth-doped fiber laser, shows the distinct feature of the multiple pulse regime, which appears as a stationary pulse group whose length can be spread over the whole cavity length by variation of the pump power and polarization. Pulse positioning within the ensemble depends on the saturation fluence and the relatively fast recovery dynamics of bismuth fiber.

Ultra-stable pulse generation in ytterbium-doped fiber laser based on black phosphorus.

Project description:We demonstrated a high-quality black phosphorus (BP) crystal fabricated via a modified electrochemical delamination exfoliation process. Employing the nonlinear transmittance method and Z-scan technique, the nonlinear optical properties of BP were characterized. Based on the saturable absorber (SA) of BP, we designed a passively Q-switched ytterbium (Yb)-doped fiber laser operating at 1.06 μm. Additionally, the pulse laser could operate stably for at least 69 days. These experimental results indicate that the modified BP is an ultra-stable and promising optical modulation material for ultrashort pulse generation in Yb-doped fiber lasers.

Birefringent Glass-Engraved Tilted Pillar Metasurfaces for High Power Laser Applications.

Project description:Birefringent materials-which are highly needed in high power laser systems-may be limited in usage due to the laser-induced damage threshold of traditional birefringent materials. This work reports here on all-glass metasurfaces, fabricated by angled etching through sacrificial metal nanoparticle (NP) etching masks, for generation of effective birefringence in the formed layer. As a result, a fused silica metasurface, monolithic to the underlying substrate, is demonstrated to exhibit a birefringence of 6.57° under 375 nm illumination. Full-wave analysis shows a good agreement with the measurement and presents potential paths forward to increasing the effective metasurface birefringence. This is the first demonstration, to the best of knowledge, of an etching technique to obtain the resulting tilted pillar-like nanofeatures. The anisotropy of the metasurface nanoelements along the two window in-plane major axes presents different effective paths for the two polarizations and thus generates birefringence in a nonbirefringent material. Additionally, the imparted anisotropy lends itself to manipulation of physical properties of the surface as well, with metasurface feature orientation suppressing water flow along one principal axis and giving rise to water flow steering capabilities.

Ytterbium-doped fibre femtosecond laser offers robust operation with deep and precise microsurgery of C. elegans neurons.

Project description:Laser microsurgery is a powerful tool for neurobiology, used to ablate cells and sever neurites in-vivo. We compare a relatively new laser source to two well-established designs. Rare-earth-doped mode-locked fibre lasers that produce high power pulses recently gained popularity for industrial uses. Such systems are manufactured to high standards of robustness and low maintenance requirements typical of solid-state lasers. We demonstrate that an Ytterbium-doped fibre femtosecond laser is comparable in precision to a Ti:Sapphire femtosecond laser (1-2 micrometres), but with added operational reliability. Due to the lower pulse energy required to ablate, it is more precise than a solid-state nanosecond laser. Due to reduced scattering of near infrared light, it can lesion deeper (more than 100 micrometres) in tissue. These advantages are not specific to the model system ablated for our demonstration, namely neurites in the nematode C. elegans, but are applicable to other systems and transparent tissue where a precise micron-resolution dissection is required.

Determination of critical cooling rates in metallic glass forming alloy libraries through laser spike annealing.

Project description:The glass forming ability (GFA) of metallic glasses (MGs) is quantified by the critical cooling rate (R C). Despite its key role in MG research, experimental challenges have limited measured R C to a minute fraction of known glass formers. We present a combinatorial approach to directly measure R C for large compositional ranges. This is realized through the use of compositionally-graded alloy libraries, which were photo-thermally heated by scanning laser spike annealing of an absorbing layer, then melted and cooled at various rates. Coupled with X-ray diffraction mapping, GFA is determined from direct R C measurements. We exemplify this technique for the Au-Cu-Si system, where we identify Au56Cu27Si17 as the alloy with the highest GFA. In general, this method enables measurements of R C over large compositional areas, which is powerful for materials discovery and, when correlating with chemistry and other properties, for a deeper understanding of MG formation.

Phosphate ytterbium-doped single-mode all-solid photonic crystal fiber with output power of 13.8 W.

Project description:Single-mode ytterbium-doped phosphate all-solid photonic crystal fiber (AS-PCF) with 13.8 W output power and 32% slope efficiency was reported. By altering the diameter of the rods around the doped core and thus breaking the symmetry of the fiber, a polarization-maintaining AS-PCF with degree of polarization of >85% was also achieved, for the first time to knowledge, in a phosphate PCF.
