CTuJ1 • 11:00 Invited<br />

The Vulcan 10 PW OPCPA Project, John Collier,<br />

Rutherford Appleton Lab, UK. I will describe a UK<br />

project to establish a 10-20 PW capability on the<br />

Vulcan Laser at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory<br />

based on the OPCPA technique. Design, new<br />

technology, science and status will be covered.<br />

Lidar Measurements of Atmospheric Oxygen<br />

Using a 1.27 Micron Raman Amplifier, Jeremy T.<br />

Dobler 1 , James A. Nagel 2 , Valery Temyanko 2 , T. Scott<br />

Zaccheo 3 , Bryan Karpowicz 3 ; 1 ITT Geospatial Systems,<br />

USA; 2 TIPD Inc. / College of Optical Sciences,<br />

the Univ. of Arizona, USA; 3 Atmospheric and Environmental<br />

Research, Inc., USA. We have developed<br />

a high-power narrow linewidth Raman amplifier<br />

near 1.27 micron, integrated it into an Integrated<br />

Path Differential Absorption lidar. Groundbased<br />

measurements of atmospheric oxygen have been<br />

performed using the integrated amplifier.<br />

On the Isotropic Magnetic Response of Fabricated<br />

Core-Shell Clusters and its Ability to<br />

Cloak, Stefan Mühlig 1 , Alastair Cunningham 2 ,<br />

Mohamed Farhat 1 , Carsten Rockstuhl 1 , Thomas<br />

Bürgi 2 , Falk Lederer 1 ; 1 Inst. of Solid State Theory<br />

and Condensed Matter Optics, Friedrich-Schiller-<br />

Universität Jena, Germany; 2 Faculté des Sciences,<br />

Département de Chimie Physique, Univ. of Geneva,<br />

Switzerland. We investigate a scatterer comprising<br />

a dielectric core and randomly distributed metallic<br />

nanoparticles forming a shell. We show that it acts<br />

as an isotropic magnetic meta-atom and as a cloak<br />

to conceal the core.<br />

Modulation Instability of Continuous Wave<br />

Optical Parametric Oscillators, Christopher<br />

Phillips 1 , Martin M. Fejer 1 ; 1 Stanford Univ., USA.<br />

Optical parametric oscillators exhibit a temporal<br />

modulation instability which can prevent singlelongitudinal-mode<br />

operation above a certain<br />

pumping ratio. We analyze this instability and<br />

show how it can be suppressed with an intracavity<br />

etalon.<br />

Remote backwards lasing in air, Arthur Dogariu 1 ,<br />

James Michael 1 , Marlan O. Scully 1,2 , Richard Miles 1 ;<br />

1<br />

Princeton Univ., USA; 2 Texas A&M Univ., USA.<br />

We demonstrate high gain lasing in air from<br />

two-photon dissociation of molecular oxygen<br />

and simultaneous resonant two-photon pumping<br />

of an atomic oxygen fragment. This backwards<br />

emission provides a remote laser source for<br />

standoff detection.<br />

Three-Dimensional Newtonian Photorealistic<br />

Ray Tracing of the Conformal Grating Cloak,<br />

Jad C. Halimeh 1 , Roman Schmied 2 , Martin Wegener<br />

3 ; 1 Physics, Ludwig Maximilians Universitaet<br />

Muenchen, Germany; 2 Physik, Universitaet Basel,<br />

Switzerland; 3 Karlsruhe Inst. of Technology, Germany.<br />

Conformal grating cloaks are relatives of the<br />

carpet cloak and can deliver excellent cloaking for<br />

reasonable parameters. This is illustrated by photorealistic<br />

Newtonian ray-tracing calculations and by<br />

cross-correlation coefficients based on these.<br />

Compact, narrow linewidth, continuous-wave,<br />

intracavity optical parametric oscillator pumped<br />

by a semiconductor disk laser, Nils Hempler 1 ,<br />

Gordon Robertson 1 , Leigh Bromley 1 , Craig Hamilton<br />

2 , Graeme P. Malcolm 1 ; 1 M Squared Lasers<br />

Ltd, UK; 2 Solus Technologies Ltd, UK. We report<br />

the narrow linewidth (5 W of signal from a picosecond optical<br />

parametric oscillator.<br />
