摘要：
Since the advent of lasers, many different nonlinear optical techniques have led to shorter, higher-intensity pulses. At Waterloo, we are studying multi-frequency Raman generation (MRG), which efficiently generates a large number of Raman orders spanning the spectral region from the infrared to the ultraviolet. If these Raman orders can be added in phase, the bandwidth is sufficient to generate ~2 fs pulses, with energy near 1mJ. While investigating the role of dispersion on increasing the overall spectra, we observed that the individual orders developed red shifted shoulders. In this talk, I will give an overview of the MRG process and discuss our experiments to determine the origin of the extra spectral peaks.
简介：
Donna Strickland received her B. Eng. Degree in Physics, from McMaster University in 1981. She graduated from the University of Rochester in 1989 with a Ph.D. in Optics. Along with her Ph.D. supervisor, Dr. Gerard Mourou, Donna Strickland co-invented chirped pulse amplification (CPA), which made it possible to amplify ultra-short pulses to unprecedented levels. From 1988 to 1991, Dr. Strickland was a research associate at the National Research Council of Canada. The following year, she was a physicist with the laser division of Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. In 1992, she became a member of the technical staff of Princeton's Advanced Technology Center for Photonics and Opto-electronic Materials. Dr. Strickland joined the physics department of the University of Waterloo as an assistant professor in 1997. At Waterloo, Dr. Strickland's ultrafast laser group develops high-intensity laser systems for nonlinear optics investigations. She was promoted to Associate Professor in 2002 and since 2007 has been the Associate Chair of the Department. Dr. Strickland was selected as an Alfred P. Sloan Research Fellow in 1998. She received a Premier’s Research Excellence Award in1999 and a Cottrell Scholars Award from Research Corporation in 2000 and was named a Fellow of the Optical Society in 2008.
Dr. Strickland has worked on several committees within the OSA. She has been on the editorial board of OPN and she served as a topical editor for Optics Letters from 2004-2010. She has chaired the Archie McMahon and R.W. Wood Prize committees, served as FiO General Chair in 2012, as FiO Program co-chair in 2010, and she was on the program committee for the International Conference on Ultrafast Phenomena in 2002. Dr. Strickland was a member of the Member and Education Services Council from 2004 to 2006. She previously served on the OSA Board of Directors as a Director at Large from 2005-2007, and she sat on the Board’s Executive Committee during 2006-2007. From 2008-2011, she was the OSA-appointed representative to the International Commission for Optics Board. Dr. Strickland is the 2013 OSA President. She will continue her service on the OSA Board of Directors in 2014 as OSA Immediate Past President.
