1 Survey Report: Laser R&D Peter Moulton VP/CTO, Q-Peak, Inc. DLA-2011 ICFA Mini-Workshop on Dielectric Laser Accelerators September 15, 2011 SLAC, Menlo Park, CA
2 Outline DLA laser requirements (one version) Quick review of suitable laser technology Tm:fiber lasers for DLAs Current technology Prospects
3 One possible accelerator design needs efficient, high-power lasers The low-power laser components (optical clock, phase-locked oscillators) in the system can be engineered based on existing solid state laser technology The power amplifiers remain a challenge. The pulsewidth and wavelength range requires a solid state laser. The solid state solution is based on fiber-laser technology.
4 Highly stable optical clocks are old news
5 Hansch and Hall win Nobel Prize for Optical Combs Stockholm December 10, 2005
6 Variety of formats for high-beam-quality, high-power solid state lasers Slab (zig-zag) Laser
7 Step index fiber - single mode design θ max ( ) NA = sin θ max n c n c NA step = n f 2 n 2 c V = 2π a λ o NA a is core radius, λ is wavelength V < for single-mode fiber In general, base fiber material is SiO 2 (fused silica)
8 Cladding-pumped fiber laser allows multimode pumping of single-mode cores Traditional single-mode fiber lasers need single-mode pumps but... Elias Snitzer first described cladding pumped lasers in 1988 Maurer, U.S Patent 3,808,549 (April 30, 1974) J. Kafka, U.S. Patent 4,829,529 (May 9, 1989)

14 Materials at long wavelengths may have higher damage thresholds (Si especially)
15 Rare-earth laser transitions used in fiber lasers Energy (wavenumber/10000) 1060 nm 930 nm 1550 nm nm 1080 nm
16 Tm:silica has a broad gain cross section 5E-21 4E-21 Walsh/McCumber absorption Walsh emission data Q-Peak absorption data Cross section (cm2) 3E-21 2E-21 1E Wavelength (nm)
17 Tm-ion cross relaxation allows excitation of two upper laser levels for one pump photon
18 fs-duration pulses generated by Tm:silica fiber Assume half-gain points at 1925 and 2100 nm 13 THz linewidth, 33 fs pulses
19 High-peak power amplifier- chirped pulse
20 Advances in Tm-doped fiber-laser efficiencies show levels approaching Yb fibers

24 Picture of all-glass system
25 We are now on the same upwards path in power pioneered by Yb-doped fibers Money (to buy pump lasers) is now the major limit to scaling RELI? We are going here Power Output (W) BAA1, 2 BAA2, 1 all-glass BAA1, 1 DSTO data IPG NGAS 10 First double-clad Date
26 V = 2π a λ o Nonlinear effects: wavelength scaling issues for fiber lasers NA a is core radius, λ is wavelength V < for single-mode fiber Core area for constant V: scales as λ 2 Optical damage fluence: Raman gain, nonlinear phase: Brillouin gain (theory): scales as λ scales as 1/ λ constant in λ (smaller linewidth (1/ λ 2 ) cancels smaller gain) Brillouin gain (actual): reduces with λ (more sensitive to inhomogeneous effects)
27 Nonlinear effects: Tm-doped fibers compared to Yb-doped fibers For the same V parameter, compared to Yb-doped fibers, Tmdoped fibers can have: 8X higher fiber core damage threshold 8X higher stimulated Raman scattering threshold 8X lower nonlinear phase distortion At least 4X higher stimulated Brillouin threshold The challenge for fiber makers is to scale up the core diameter for Tm-doped fibers and keep single-mode operation IPG 10-kW single-mode laser reportedly has about a 30-µm core diameter and is near Raman limit With a 60-µm core, a cw Tm:fiber can operate at 80 kw (!?)
28 DLA fiber-laser driver uses chirped-pulse amplification to avoid phase distortion 8 uj, 10-ps pulses 1-m fiber length 25 um MFD 76 um MFD
29 Large core (50 um MFD) fibers can allow very high cw powers Power output (W) Distance along fiber (m)
30 Summary Optical accelerators employ dielectrics to create high fields Longer-wavelength laser sources may be able to drive dielectrics to higher fields before optical damage occurs to the dielectric The 2-µm-wavelength Tm:fiber laser may be suitable as an efficient high-power source for optical accelerators Efficiency is enhanced by cross-relaxation pumping process Long wavelength has added advantages in raising the limit to power set by fibers themselves Large gain-bandwidth supports generation/amplification of short pulses, carrier-phase control is possible
