    Abstract: A method of ultrashort pulsed laser deposition (PLD) capable of continuously tuning formed-film morphology from that of a nanoparticle aggregate to a smooth thin film completely free of particles and droplets. The materials that can be synthesized using various embodiments of the invention include, but are not limited to, metals, alloys, metal oxides, and semiconductors. A ‘burst’ mode of ultrashort pulsed laser ablation and deposition is provided, where each ‘burst’ contains a train of laser pulses. Tuning of the film morphology is achieved by controlling the burst-mode parameters such as the number of pulses and the time-spacing between the pulses within each burst, the burst repetition rate, and the laser fluence. The system includes an ultrashort pulsed laser, an optical setup for delivering the laser beam such that the beam is focused onto the target surface with an appropriate average energy density (fluence), and a vacuum chamber in which the target and the substrate are installed and background gases and their pressures are appropriately adjusted.

    Abstract: The invention describes techniques for the control of the spatial as well as spectral beam quality of multi-mode fiber amplification of high peak power pulses as well as using such a configuration to replace the present diode-pumped, Neodynium based sources. Perfect spatial beam-quality can be ensured by exciting the fundamental mode in the multi-mode fibers with appropriate mode-matching optics and techniques. The loss of spatial beam-quality in the multi-mode fibers along the fiber length can be minimized by using multi-mode fibers with large cladding diameters. Near diffraction-limited coherent multi-mode amplifiers can be conveniently cladding pumped, allowing for the generation of high average power. Moreover, the polarization state in the multi-mode fiber amplifiers can be preserved by implementing multi-mode fibers with stress producing regions or elliptical fiber cores. These lasers find application as a general replacement of Nd: based lasers, especially Nd:YAG lasers. Particularly utility is disclosed for applications in the marking, micro-machining and drilling areas.

    Abstract: A chirped pulse amplifier (CPA) system having a mode-locked laser and a high-speed pulse selector, wherein the pulse selector modulates output pulses based upon an applied modulation voltage. A pulse selector may be an integrated electro-optic modulator, for example a LiNbO3 modulator, or an electro-absorption modulator. Difficulties related to free-space alignment and operational stability of some prior designs are reduced or eliminated. Fiber coupling generally simplifies beam delivery and alignment. Some embodiments include an erbium fiber (or erbium-ytterbium) based CPA system operating at a wavelength of approximately 1550 nanometers. Similar performance can be obtained at other wavelengths, for example a 1.06 .micrometer Yb-doped fiber system. Moreover, high amplification and peak intensity at the output may be achieved while avoiding non-linear effects in the pulse selector, thereby providing for high intensity picosecond or femtosecond operation.

    Abstract: A method of producing compound nanorods and thin films under a controlled growth mode is described. The method involves ablating compound targets using an ultrafast pulsed laser and depositing the ablated materials onto a substrate. When producing compound nanorods, external catalysts such as pre-deposited metal nanoparticles are not involved. Instead, at the beginning of deposition, simply by varying the fluence at the focal spot on the target, a self-formed seed layer can be introduced for nanorods growth. This provides a simple method of producing high purity nanorods and controlling the growth mode. Three growth modes are covered by the present invention, including nanorod growth, thin film growth, and nano-porous film growth.
