摘要
An ultra-short-pumped optical dye amplifier operating in the near-IR (720 nm) has been developed. We present an experimental study of the input–output characteristics of this simple device in a traveling wave collinear configuration. In essence, the combined effects of the ultrafast nature of the anisotropy induced by the exciting laser pulse along with the short transit time across the length of the cell allow for optimal output conditions given the number of molecules in the active volume. Two distinct amplifying regimes have been observed depending on photon density. Typical gain values of 104 of the narrow bandwidth (∼9 nm) subpicosecond output signal were measured. The 8-mm2 beam cross section enables this photon amplifier to be utilized in time-gated imaging applications.
