Outline of Final Research Achievements

A novel high-intense CPA laser using water for pulse compression has been studied. An enagetic negative-chirped pulse with 500 nm wavelength region that is amplified in OPA process, is compressed to femtosecond pulse by passing through water for its positive dispersion, which enables us an intense femtosecond laser generation on targets in waver. In this research a pair of taper-shaped glass block for dispersion compensation, a water tank for suitable pulse compression, and PG-FROG for phase measurement have been developed, which confirmed the effecitiveness of this scheme. In near future, a direct femtosecond laser irradiation in water will be realized from the results of this research, which makes possible novel applications such as femtosecond-LIBS material detection, effective material processing in water.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

本研究では従来Nd:YAG等の産業用レーザーでは実現できなかった波長500 nm帯でフェムト秒レーザー光パルスを計測・制御する技術の開発行っている。本研究の成果で開発されるレーザー装置は水中でのフェムト秒レーザーLIBS、レーザー加工及びレーザーピーニングの高効率化を実現し、深海資源調査や原子炉等の発電プラント内検査・補修などの学術及び産業分野で社会に多大な恩恵をもたらすことが期待される。また波長500 nm帯の光はヘモグロビンの吸収が最も小さい波長帯であり、人体の60%以上が水分であることから今後生体・医療応用の面でも高強度フェムト秒パルスレーザーの可能性を示せたと考えている。
