The Control System of the Novosibirsk Free Electron Laser

Siberian Journal of Physics

The Novosibirsk free electron laser (FEL) is the source of the coherent radiation with tunable wave length and operates on the basis of the multiple-turn energy recovery linac. The whole FEL itself represents the large physical facility, controlled by large amount of various equipments. Therefore, to carry out the effective control and monitoring of FEL operation, the specialized control system was developed. In this paper the structure, software and hardware components of this system are considered. The main features, parameters and possibilities, which this system provides, are described

Electronic Device for Controlling the Laser Beam Divergence in FSO Systems

In this paper we present an optical terminal capable of controlling the laser beam divergence angle. We show an example implementation of the optical part of the device, as well as a couple of electronic circuits for controlling the optical elements. Such optical antenna, which is capable of changing the laser beam divergence angle could significantly reduce the errors in the system due to mispointing or terminal sway.

A sealed-off strontium vapor laser

2004

A sealed-off strontium-vapor laser for medical applications is examined. This is an integrated system that accommodates an excitation circuit, a laser cavity, and an active element. The active medium is excited by means of a modified Blumlein circuit. An unstable resonator of the telescopic type allows a near-diffraction-limited laser beam to be generated. Lasing is obtained in atomic strontium lines at λ=2.06, 2.2, 2.69, 2.92, 3.011, and 6.45 μm and in ionic strontium lines at λ=1.033 and 1.091 μm. We have studied experimentally the behavior of spectral distribution of the output power at varying power delivered to the discharge. It is found that 95% of laser radiation is concentrated in the line at λ=6.456 μm, which corresponds to a lasing power of ~ 2.5 W. Moreover, the time characteristics of lasing pulses are investigated. The radial inhomogeneity of the laser beam is examined. We have conducted lifetime testing of Sr-vapor active elements. The average output power exhibits a modest decrease (5%) within 300 h of a continuous operation. Notably, the pumping characteristics remain unchanged.

Thermocycling with pulse-periodic laser action for formation of nanoporous structure in metal material

Computer Optics, 2013

Conditions of pulse-periodic laser action with thermocycling for formation of a nanoporous structure consisting of principally channel-type nanosize pores in two-component Cu-Zn alloy “brass of 62%” are experimentally defined. The transformation of laser radiation into a light spot with uniform distribution of power density was carried out with the aid of an optical system containing an element of diffractive computer optics – radiation focusator. Depth and area locality of the physical processes in heat-affected zone with preservation of initial material properties and absence of significant deformation in the remaining volume is ensured in the implementation of the chosen conditions. The amount of structural defects – vacancies, dislocations and their clusters increases in two-component brass under the influence of thermal stress. Wedge-shaped submicrocavities that converge at their edges with formation of extensive nanosize channels with widths not more than 100 nm are formed in ...

Електронна система протидії лазерним засобам локації та ураження

Electronic and Acoustic Engineering, 2020

The work is devoted to the development of a device for counteracting laser means of location and destruction. The analysis of data from open literature on similar systems and technologies have been performed. Theoretical calculations of the effectiveness of protecting the human eye or optical device from laser damage with various types of protection have been carried out. Laser technology has been used by the military since the mid-1950s. The military uses lasers in systems of direct thermal destruction of the object, pointers, detection systems of snipers, systems of interference with snipers, rangefinders, etc. In the late 1970s and early 1980s, military-experimental blinding self-propelled complexes were created in the USSR. The development of laser and computer technology has significantly reduced the dimensions of the devices, as well as their cost. Now such systems are widely used in combat operations. On the other hand, there is a challenge to counteract such complexes. Syste...
