飞秒激光脉冲激光传输光丝高阶克尔效应 femtosecond laser pulse laser propagation filamentation higher-order Kerr effects

摘要

用数值方法研究了各阶克尔非线性折射系数对强激光传输的影响，结果显示第7阶克尔非线性系数和第9阶克尔非线性系数协同影响激光传输，当第7阶克尔效应起作用时，忽略第9阶克尔效应的作用会导致光强随传输距离震荡剧烈，传输非常不稳定。要得到稳定传输需要第7阶克尔非线性系数和第9阶克尔非线性系数同时起作用或同时不起作用。在自聚焦阶段第3阶非线性折射率对折射率改变起主要作用，在稳定光丝传输阶段第7阶克尔非线性系数,第9阶克尔非线性系数起主要作用。第5阶克尔系数在整个传输过程中对折射率的改变一直比较小。

Abstract

The effects of the nonlinear refraction indexes (n2, n4, n6, n8) on the propagation of the femtosecond high-intensity laser pulse are studied. We consider three models. The first model includes n2, n4, n6, and n8. The second one only includes n2 and n4. The third model includes n2, n4, and n6. Numerical simulations show that the third model cannot properly describe the propagation of the ultra-short high intensity laser pulse, and the index n2 is the most important focusing mechanism at the beginning of the propagation, and n8 and n6 are the most important indexes in the stable propagation stage, and the pulse’s radius in the first model is almost the same as that in the second model, so does the number of filamentations splitted in the temporal direction. This work is useful in understanding the mechanism of the femtosecond laser pulse propagation in air.
