摘要
基于双光子荧光法测量原理,实验研究空气中飞秒激光成丝区域内飞秒脉冲的时域特性。实验结果证明,该测量技术可以同时对成丝区域内飞秒脉冲的宽度、啁啾率以及光束半径进行测量,在空气中飞秒激光成丝的动态过程的研究中具有应用价值。
Abstract
This work proposes a diagnostic method, which is based on two-photon fluorescence measurement, to study the temporal characteristic of a laser pulse undergoing filamentation in air. The results show that the pulse duration, chirp rate and beam radius could be retrieved simultaneously. This simple technique is useful in practice to trace the underlying dynamics of filamentation in air.
