Research Progress of Laser Filamentation by Using Axicon
摘要: 当超短脉冲激光功率大于其在光学介质中的自聚焦临界功率时,由于克尔自聚焦和等离子体散焦效应的动态平衡作用,会在介质中形成等离子体细丝。等离子体丝具有很多独特的优点而在很多研究领域有着很广阔的应用。针对飞秒激光成丝的不同应用领域,圆锥透镜因其对光束不同的汇聚方式成为一种成丝优化控制的具有独特优势的光学元件。本文论述了飞秒激光经圆锥透镜在固体、液体、气体等介质中所形成等离子体丝及其伴随的非线性效应的变化规律,并对不同非线性介质成丝的特点进行了归纳总结,为更好地使用圆锥透镜进行成丝控制提供有益的参考。
Abstract: When the ultrashort pulse laser power is higher than its self-focusing critical power in optical media, the laser will form plasma filament due to the dynamic balance between the nonlinear Kerr self-focusing and plasma defocusing effects. The filament has a very broad application due to its unique advantages in many research fields. In the different fields of the femtosecond laser filamentation, the conical lens, also called axicon, is often chose as a focal element which has a very important property of long focal depth. This paper discusses the research progress of femtosecond laser filamentation in solid, liquid and gas by using concial lens respectively, and summarizes the characteristics of filamentation in different nonlinear media, which provides a helpful reference for the application of the conical lens.
