A ten-channel far-infrared laser interferometer which is routinely used to measure the spatial and temporal behavior of the electron density profile on the tokamak fusion test reactor is described, and representative results are presented. This system has been designed for remote operation in the very hostile environment of a fusion reactor. The possible expansion of the system to include polarimetric measurements is briefly outlined.

Spectroscopy of shallow donors is a tool to test theoretical models and to reveal properties of semiconductors. In this work we consider intra-shallow impurity transitions by studying a CdTe/(Cd, Mg)Te structure grown by a molecular beam epitaxy in which both a CdTe quantum well and (Cd, Mg)Te barries are uniformly doped with iodine donors. Measurements of a photocurrent (PC) at the far-infrared were carried out at 4.

To solve this, we introduced germanium elements into the As-Se glasses and optimized the composition to raise the glass transition temperature (T) and enhance the laser damage threshold (LDT). From the correlation among various parameters including T, LDT, and fiber loss, we concluded an optimized composition of GeAsSe/GeAsSe glass.

- The study explores the transitions between rovibrational energy levels in gas molecules to improve gas laser output in mid to far-infrared ranges, highlighting insufficient research in laser dynamics.
- A new theoretical model using HBr-filled hollow-core fiber gas laser (HCFGL) incorporates 66 energy levels and considers vibrational and rotational relaxation, leading to more accurate laser threshold and efficiency estimates.
- The findings reveal concentrated gain at the entry point, causing thermal effects and population depletion, and show a consistent correlation between pump spectra output and rotational level distribution, aiding future HCFGL design and gas laser modeling.
This article presents a novel approach to targeted 4f pulse shaping using phase plates fabricated by single-point diamond turning (SPDT) machining. The manufacturing of the phase plates using SPDT is versatile, cost-effective, fast, robust, and applicable across a wide range of optical materials, spanning from visible to far-infrared spectra (e.g.

Quaternary (AlGa)InP alloys grown on GaAs substrates have recently gained considerable interest in photonics for improving visible light-emitting diodes, laser diodes, and photodetectors. With two degrees of freedom (x, y) and keeping growth on a lattice-matched GaAs substrate, the (AlGa)InP alloys are used for tuning structural, phonon, and optical characteristics in different energy regions from far-infrared (FIR) → near-infrared (NIR) → ultraviolet (UV). Despite the successful growth of (AlGa)InP/n-GaAs epilayers, limited optical, phonon, and structural characteristics exist.
