The output waveforms for different pump power densities are numerically simulated, and validated in the Nd:YAG seed-injected laser system. The results indicate that SBS does not take place in the case of a low pump power density and thus the output power scales up linearly with pump power. Once the pump power density exceeds the SBS threshold, SBS takes place and thereby the energies are transferred from pump to Stokes. As a result, a small shoulder appears in the trailing edge of the output waveform, which provides another method to determine the SBS threshold.展开更多

The physical mechanism behind it is analyzed theoretically and validated in the Q-switched Nd:YAG laser system. A 12-ns pump pulse is suppressed to 5ns With good fidelity in the front edge and sharp steepness in the trailing edge. The HT-270, which has a small gain coefficient and absorption coefficient, is used as a solvent, and therefore the disturbance induced by stimulated Brillouin scattering and absorption are minimized and the transmittivity is enhanced.展开更多
