Intracavity energy rate in a soliton mode-locked fibre laser is derived by solving the Haus master equation. The influence of net gain, absorber response, saturation energy, nonlinearity and absorption are investigated on stable/unstable states. Intracavity modes include the zeroth, first and higher order solitons. Accordingly, chaotic regime as well as breather modes is recognized as a conventional intracavity state. However, tuning the control parameters also results in a reverse bifurcation and thus returning to a stable state. Accordingly, a chaos-based encryption/decryption system is proposed taking the advantage of using a single-side control process; both the encryption and decryption procedures can be achieved by one of the actions of increasing/decreasing the control parameters.

Closed-cell aluminium foam, a porous structure, is effectively used for insulation, structural applications, packaging and filtering. Cutting of aluminium foam with the help of fibre laser is an efficient method due to the inherent advantages of fibre laser. Laser cutting of aluminium foam was carried out using a 2-kW fibre laser system for varying process parameters and different assist gas environments. Use of different foaming agents results in the generation of gas-filled pores. During the laser cutting process, the interaction of these gas-filled pores with assist gas results in in-situ reactions, generating different kerf quality. This interaction effect of foam cutting was reported using optical, metallurgical and thermal analysis. Thermal cycles were recorded to understand the occurrence of different in-situ reactions. From the temperature signal for different assist gases, oxygen showed the highest temperature, followed by nitrogen and argon. Argon assist gas gave minimum kerf width, while nitrogen assist gas produced minimum dross. Elemental and phase analysis showed the presence of new compounds and intermetallics in the cut section that stipulated the occurrence of in-situ reactions during the cutting process. The internal pore surface showed the presence of spatter in case of oxygen, while nitrogen and argon gas environment showed relatively less pore-clogging.

AbstractPowerful, broadband terahertz (THz) pulses and its application attract an exponential growth of interests. Dual-color laser filamentation in gases is one of the promising THz sources because of the scalability of the THz energy and wavelength with input parameters. But the additional phase induced by the nonlinearities associated with high intensities cannot be neglected because it may result in modulation of the THz waves. We investigate the influences of the infrared pump energy and air dispersion on the terahertz generation in dual-color laser filament. We observe that optimum dual-color laser relative phase of the THz generation undergoes a linear shift with increasing pump energy due to the intensity-induced refractive index change. This phase shift is verified by the spectral broadening of a two-color laser affected by the same mechanism. The result improves our understanding of the theoretical framework for a higher power THz source.

Oil palm plantations produce fresh fruit bunches (FFB) as their primary output. Over the years, several technologies for cutting oil palm fronds and FFB have been developed and only a few of these technologies have been taken up by the industry. A study to explore the potential of fibre lasers as an alternative technology to cut oil palm fronds has been initiated where in this study laser cutting parameters using a 250 mm focus lens by manipulating power, speed and frequency are being optimised. The pulse fibre laser system used in this work operates at the wavelength and power of 1064 nm and 50 kW respectively where it is equivalent to 2 mJ of energy. Characterising and optimising the laser system with the 250 mm lens, an optimisation study is conducted in order to find a suitable working range for the fibre pulsed laser system to perform oil palm frond cutting. This study concludes that all three parameters; frequency, power and speed play huge roles in determining the quality and efficiency of the laser cutting. High frequency and speed with power above 80 % and 1 mm-1 will yield the desired results.
