    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a means for generating a high output optical pulse of femto-seconds. SOLUTION: The high output optical pulse generator has a fiber oscillator 10 for generating signal light, an amplification fiber 11 to be used also as a Soliton-Raman compressor(SRC) capable of receiving signal light with a non- linear phase delay and amplifying and compressing the received signal and a periodical poling LNbO (PPLN) 20 to be a frequency converter for frequency- converting the amplified optical pulse into a high output optical pulse. Dispersion is compensated by a dispersion compensating fiber 18. An optical pulse is reflected by a Faraday rotation mirror(FRM) 19 and a double pulse format is taken. Energy from pump light injected from a pump 16 is obtained, a signal light is amplified and compressed and a high output optical pulse of femto- seconds can be obtained by wavelength frequency-converted by the PPLN frequency converter 20.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To use lasers for patterning images on solid substrates, by solving the problem with conventional laser engraving, which yields grayscale images with image contrast determined by machining depth and is sensitive to laser irradiation parameters.SOLUTION: Systems and methods for providing laser texturing of solid substrates are disclosed. In some embodiments, images may be obtainable from the substrate by modifying the reflective, diffractive, and/or absorptive features of the substrate or the substrate surface by forming random, periodic, and/or semi-periodic micro-structure features on the substrate (or substrate surface) by an ultrafast laser pulse train. The micro-structure features may have average sizes slightly larger, comparable to, and/or smaller than the wavelength of light of the ultrafast pulse train. The ultrafast pulse train may be modulated in order to vary, for example, optical exposure time, pulse train intensity, laser polarization, laser wavelength, or a combination thereof.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a modular, compact and widely-tunable laser system for efficiently generating a high peak ultrashort pulses. SOLUTION: System compactness is ensured by employing efficient fiber amplifiers, directly or indirectly pumped by diode lasers. Peak power handling capability of the fiber amplifiers is expanded by using optimizing pulse shapes as well as dispersively broadened pulses. Dispersive broadening is introduced by dispersive pulse stretching in the presence of self-phase modulation and gain, resulting in the formation of high-power parabolic pulses. After amplification, the dispersively stretched pulses can be recompressed to nearly band width limit by the implementation of another set of dispersive delay lines. To ensure a wide tunability of the whole system, Raman-shifting of the compact sources of ultrashort pulses in conjunction with frequency-conversion in nonlinear optical crystals can be implemented. Further, a positively dispersing optical amplifier and a Raman amplifier fiber are utilized.
