    Notes: We report on the design and operation of an optimized version of a Q-switched, mode-locked, and cavity-dumped ruby-laser oscillator. The modulator window is much narrower than that assumed in conventional active mode-lock theory, and is shown to yield much shorter pulses than the latter in cases where the number of round trips is restricted. To allow a high-power pulse (≈1 GW) to evolve in the oscillator, and to allow simple synchronization to a (∼100 ns fixed delay) CO2 laser, a limit of 23 round trips was chosen, but similar limits may be imposed by lasers having short-gain duration as in an excimer laser. Details are given on the single spark gap switching element and Pockels cells, with an analysis of their expected switching speeds, in order to establish the effectiveness of the modulator, as compared to conventional sinusoidally driven active mode lockers. Single pulses of 50–70 mJ are reliably cavity-dumped after only 100-ns delay (23 round trips) with pulse length adjustable from 50–100 ps with ±5-ps stability. Relative timing between the main (CO2) and probe (ruby) pulses allows a measurement accuracy of ±50 ps to be attained.

    Notes: A more rigorous numerical method for determining bulk semiconductor transport properties from photo-Hall data is presented and is used to determine compensation densities in narrow-gap HgCdTe. Previous studies have treated carrier density inhomogeneities by means of a two-layer approach, assuming a photoexcitation layer of constant thickness associated with either the absorption depth or the ambipolar diffusion length. Here, we show that this approximation can lead to significant error. For arbitrary optical intensities a more detailed integration over depth is required, properly accounting for the variation in the optical and transport of the material with carrier density and optical intensity. In the present technique, the spatial profile of the carrier density, n(z), is calculated as a function of optical intensity Φ0. The electron mobility μ is expanded in known functions of the carrier density. By using this n(Φ0,z) and μ(n), integral expressions for the net conductivity and Hall coefficient are then evaluated. The unknown coefficients in the mobility expansion are varied parametrically to obtain the best fits to the measured Hall coefficient and conductivity as a function of optical flux. From this fit, the electron mobility is determined as a function of carrier density. Detailed sample calculations are performed for the case of narrow-gap, n-type Hg1−xCdxTe at low temperatures assuming 10.6 μm CO2 laser excitation. Analysis of the photo-Hall data using the improved method leads to a reliable determination of compensation densities in this material.

    Notes: A detailed description of the kinematics governing a nuclear reaction analysis is presented for exothermic reactions. In particular, the peculiar behavior demonstrated when the emitted particle energy decreases with increasing bombarding energy is emphasized. The method is applied to 16O(d,p)17O and D(d,p)T reactions from SiO2 and D2O targets, respectively. Moreover, an algorithm was written to compute reaction cross sections as a function of energy or concentration as a function of depth from the measured reaction yields.

    Notes: A comprehensive photo-Hall investigation of compensation densities in n-type Hg1−xCdxTe (0.224〈x〈0.235) is reported. The technique consists of measuring the low-temperature electron mobility as a function of optically excited carrier density. Pulses of 25-μs duration from a CO2 laser yield excess electron-hole plasma densities of between 1013 and 1016 cm−3. At low excitation levels the mobility increases due to the neutralization of ionized acceptors by photoexcited holes, while at higher excitation levels the mobility slowly decreases due to electron-hole scattering. By comparing to a detailed theory for electron transport in photoexcited narrow-gap semiconductors, the density of compensating acceptors NA can be accurately determined. The theory is generalized to account for multi-ion scattering, carrier heating, surface conduction, and inhomogeneous excitation. Experimental refinements significantly extending the range of narrow-gap n-type samples for which compensation densities may be determined are discussed. The present study demonstrates the broad applicability of the technique by determining NA for samples with compensation ratios between 0.09 and 0.96 and with both single and double acceptors.

    Notes: A novel, active, mode-locking scheme for producing single, line-tunable, high-power ultrashort CO2-laser pulses is described. Using an auxiliary grating-tuned cw CO2 laser for injection locking on the 9R(16) line, the Q-switched, mode-locked, and cavity-dumped 10-atm CO2 laser produces single, detection-limited (〈500 ps) pulses of 5-mJ energy at λ=9.29 μm. Details are given on the traveling-wave GaAs Pockels cells, both of which are controlled by a single, ultraviolet (UV) triggered spark gap. The time-locked output pulse is delayed by precisely 300.7 ns with 〈±50 ps jitter against the UV triggered spark gap, so the laser pulse is synchronizable to an external event to 〈±250 ps. To drive the transverse-electric (TE) 10-atm amplifier section, instead of the conventional Marx bank or inductance-capacitance (LC) generator, a new type of circuit is used. The automatically preionized, double-sided LC inversion circuit uses only one spark gap, and a detailed description with operating characteristics is provided.

    Notes: A novel TE discharge, 15-mm aperture, multiatmosphere, CO2 laser amplifier is described, with measured electrical characteristics and gain measurements on the 9.294-μm, 9R(16) line. The electrical circuit used in this amplifier is a realistic alternative to the Marx bank or conventional LC inversion circuit and, similarly, it would be useful for excitation of other gas lasers as well. This automatically preionized, double-sided, fourfold LC inversion circuit uses only one spark gap, and it is shown to provide small-signal gains of 5.7% cm−1, at 120 J l−1 atm−1 and 10 atm. The generalization to an n–stage device, which would be suitable for higher pressures, and larger apertures, is discussed.

    Notes: The temporal growth rates, spatial behavior, and saturation characteristics of stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) occurring in a CO2 laser–gas jet experiment are investigated experimentally by picosecond Thomson scattering of ruby laser light as well as by intensity and spectral measurements of the backscattered light. Exponential temporal growth of the ion acoustic waves was observed and found to have a growth rate in good agreement with theory. Spatial modulations in the ion-acoustic-wave amplitude resulting from plasma inhomogeneities were found to limit the backscattered reflectivity to less than 10%. The ion acoustic waves saturate at a fluctuation amplitude of 〈20%. Ion trapping is shown to account for the observed saturation as well as temporal modulations in the ion-acoustic-wave amplitude and sibebands in the backscattered spectra.

    Notes: The x-ray observations of a CO2-laser-produced plasma are reported. An underdense plasma is produced by the interaction of intense ≤1014 W/cm2 CO2 laser light with a laminar gas jet target. Initial observations at moderate 〈1013 W/cm2 intensities and low target density reveal an electron temperature scaling with laser intensity that is consistent with inverse bremsstrahlung absorption calculations. At higher intensities and target molecular density, a suprathermal electron temperature appears that is invariant with laser intensity. However, the variation of the detected x-ray signal with laser intensity can be correlated to the two-plasmon decay and stimulated Raman scattering instabilities that have been observed for this interaction.
