Output pulses with pulse energy of 0.7∼2.6 nJ were obtained at ultra low repetition rate of 943∼154 kHz.

An interferometric spectral imaging system dedicated to the measurements of the laser ablation is constructed. A pair of two-dimensional arrays of images are formed by a lenslet array coupled with a polarization interferometer and superposed on a detection plane. Each image in the array is provided with a varied path difference by the wedge-shaped liquid-crystal polarization interferometer to generate the interference signals. These interference signals include all the information necessary to reconstruct a spectral image and can be collected simultaneously. The mechanism of ablation of phenanthrene/ethanol solution was investigated by making use of the time-resolved spectral images of the laser induced plume. The results suggest that the photothermal processes are dominant in the ablation of the solution.

The crystalline structure in a recovered iron sample was determined using an electron backscatter diffraction pattern, an electron diffraction pattern, and a synchrotron X-ray diffraction methods. A small quantity of the γ phase of iron also existed. Thermodynamic state inside the shock front has to be known because the shock induced phase transition occurs inside the shock front. Therefore, the temperature inside the shock front was calculated using thermodynamic equations. It was found that the ε phase was induced by the shock itself but not the γ phase. The γ phase was suggested to be induced as an intermediate structure between the α-ε transition. The femtosecond laser driven shock may have the potential to quench high-pressure phases which has not been attained using conventional methods.© (2004) COPYRIGHT SPIE--The International Society for Optical Engineering.
