Description

A kind of production method of ultrashort laser pulse string
Technical field
The present invention relates to accelerator and Free Electron Laser Technology fields, more specifically, are related to a kind of ultrashort laser The production method of train of pulse.
Background technique
Terahertz wave band refer to frequency in the electromagnetic wave of 0.1THz-10THz, due to its with penetrability, low photon energy, Many advantages, such as high bandwidth, spectrum fingerprint characteristic, ultrafast characteristic and unique advantage, for the meaning of research material science and material science Justice is very great.Development meet application demand terahertz emission source be related fields research hotspot.Terahertz light at present Generate wideband radiation, the tunable single radio-frequency radiation based on electron-beam excitation etc. generated including the use of ultrafast pulse excitation.Wherein, The wideband generated using ultrafast pulse is radiated by more and more extensive concern and is reached its maturity;Terahertz based on electron-beam excitation Hereby in radiation source, the radiation source that periodical torsional movement generates is carried out by undulator by relativistic electron beam and is known as terahertz Hereby free-electron laser (Terahertz-Free Electron Laser, THz-FEL).
THz-FEL can not only obtain the relevant terahertz light of narrow bandwidth, but also be to be currently available THz high output The radiation source of power, furthermore this kind of coherent source also have wavelength is continuously adjustable in a wide range of, beam quality is good, light pulse when Between fine structure and also it is adjustable outstanding advantages of, in Terahertz Technology field and its application study, play an important role, one It is directly research hotspot both domestic and external.THz-FEL can be divided into oscillator (Oscillator) and once-through type (Single- Pass) two kinds.Wherein, once-through type THz-FEL is directly produced in undulator using single ultrashort electron beam (or beam group string) Raw coherent radiation, the physics such as diffraction, sliding that oscillator THz-FEL can be overcome to be faced in generation long wavelength's THz radiation The adverse effect of effect, just by more and more extensive attention.
Square of the terahertz emission source power of once-through type THz-FEL and the quantity of electric charge of electronic impulse and the clustering factor It is directly proportional.For pulse electron beam, by taking Gaussian Profile as an example, clustering factor representation are as follows:Wherein ω is The angular frequency of radiation, σtFor electronic impulse time span.As can be seen that generate the high clustering factor: electronic impulse length should be use up May be short, the angular frequency of radiation is higher, and electronic impulse length should be shorter.
The quantity of electric charge of generation high power radiation requirement electron beam is as high as possible, electron beam length is as short as possible.But due to The presence of space charge repulsion power, the quantity of electric charge is bigger, and the length of electron beam is often longer.And it is single to utilize electronic impulse string to replace Pulse can be effectively reduced sky by sharing the quantity of electric charge to the electron beam group being made of a string of equally spaced micropulses Between Charge repulsion for obtain short pulse length Electron Beam group limitation.For what is be made of a string of equally spaced micropulses Electronic impulse string, equally by taking micropulse is Gaussian Profile as an example, the clustering factor be may be expressed as:Wherein time interval of the Δ t between micropulse.The clustering factor will resonate in A series of resonant frequency ωmIt is first order resonance frequency when=2m π/Δ t, m=1, is second-order resonance frequency when m=2, with such It pushes away.Micropulse number is more in electron beam group, and the quantity of electric charge of single micropulse is smaller, and micropulse length then can be shorter, finally It can be obtained by the higher clustering factor.
In THz-FEL device, electron beam group can be excited photoinjectors by driving laser pulse train and be generated, electronics The initial parameter of beam group is determined that Subsequent electronic beam rolls into a ball the evolution of parameter and space charge is imitated by the parameter of driving laser pulse train Answer, electron gun internal electric field parameter etc. it is closely bound up.Wherein, during electron beam group accelerates to relativistic velocity, space charge The influence of effect is occupied an leading position.Therefore, it is desirable to obtain optical autocorrelation, has its source in and obtain ultrashort laser pulse string, and The method for obtaining ultrashort laser pulse string is also based on the principle of " sharing the quantity of electric charge ", and the quantity of electric charge for including by laser pulse is shared Into the laser pulse train comprising multiple micropulses, to reduce the quantity of electric charge of single micropulse to overcome space charge effect to draw The growth of the electron beam micropulses length risen.The main stream approach for generating ultrashort laser pulse string has pulsed reactor area method and beat frequency method two Kind.Wherein, the method optical path of pulse pile-up is complicated, and influence factor is numerous;Effect of dispersion is strong simultaneously, will lead to laser pulse width It broadens, dispersion compensation difficulty is big.Beat frequency method can effectively overcome the above-mentioned deficiency of pulsed reactor area method, but the scarcely perceptible pulse that beat frequency method obtains It is related to broadening amount and beat frequency rate to rush number, and there is a problem of that micropulse number is on the low side, especially low-frequency range micropulse Number is obvious insufficient;And if obtaining more micropulse number by increasing broadening amount, it will micropulse width is caused to broaden The negative effect for causing the clustering factor to reduce, it is difficult to electronics Electron bunch length be effectively reduced.
Summary of the invention
In view of this, effectively overcoming existing beat frequency method the present invention provides a kind of production method of ultrashort laser pulse string The micropulse number of the ultrashort laser pulse string of generation problem on the low side can be effectively reduced electronics Electron bunch length, and then effectively Improve Terahertz coherent radiation power.
