研究了一种基于单晶体的可调谐超荧光产生机理,在一个偏硼酸钡(BBO)晶体中实现了飞秒脉冲倍频过程和光参量产生过程.实验中采用kHz高功率钛宝石激光系统输出的飞秒脉冲光倍频后的蓝光作为抽运光,获得了可调谐范围为480—530nm参量超荧光光谱输出.理论上分析了这种超荧光产生机理,并利用放大传递函数模拟出参量超荧光环的产生过程.结果表明,在一个BBO晶体中,当抽运光源输出光入射晶体角度同时满足倍频相位匹配角和非共线光参量产生相位匹配角时可产生参量超荧光环,通过微调相位匹配角可控制参量超荧光光谱调谐输出.该理论和实验研究为控制参量超荧光和量子纠缠态的产生提供了理论依据,对于量子成像和量子通讯等领域的发展具有重要意义.
In this paper, we investigate the mechanism of tunable parametric superfluorescence(PS) based on the second harmonic generation and parametric processes taking place in the same nonlinear crystal ( BBO). The tunable spectra of PS has been generated between 480 nm and 530 nm, which is pumped by the second-harmonic from the high-power Ti:sapphire laser system at 1 kHz repetition rate. We present the generation mechanism of PS theoretically and simulate the process of PS ring using the amplification transfer function. The experiment and the theory show that PS will appear when the phase matching angle for second-harmonic generation is close to the optimal pump angle for optical parametric generation, and then the tunable spectra of PS are generated by slightly adjusting the crystal angle. The result provides a theoretical basis for controlling the generation of PS and quantum entanglement states, which is of great significance for the development of quantum imaging, quantum communications and other applieations.
