Intensity Correlation,Relaxat ion Time,Intensity Fluctuation and First-Order-Like Transition of Dye Laser

Statistical properties of dye laser are studied by using the colored gain-noise model which has been presented recently. We calculate the intensity correlation function and relaxation time driven by colored pump noise and white spon taneous-emission noise simultaneously. Intensity fluctuation and first-order-like transition are analyzed too in this paper. It is found that the colored gain-noise model can describe well the anomalous statistical properties of dye laser.     

Discussions of Systematic Elimination and Deriving Single-Mode Dye Laser Equations

The application ranges of the systematic elimination is discussed in the circumstances ofGaussian white noises and O-U noises. From the semiclassical single-mode laser model, thecolored loss-noise model and the colored gain-noise model are derived with the systematicelimination. A new colored noise which provides some dis-neglected effect on the laserquenching of fluctuations is found.     

Influence of Noise on Time Evolution of Intensity Correlation Function

Using the linear approximation method, we have studied how the correlation function C（t） of the laser intensity changes with time in the loss-noise model of the single-mode laser driven by the colored pump noise with signal modulation and the quantum noise with cross-correlation between the real and imaginary parts. We have found that when the pump noise self-correlation time T changes, （i） in the case of r 〈〈 1, the C（t） vs. t curve experiences a changing process from the monotonous descending to monotonous rise, and finally to the appearance of a maximum; （ii） in the case of r 〉〉 1, the curve only exhibits periodically surging with descending envelope. When r 〈〈 i and T does not change, with the increase of the pump noise intensity P, the curve experiences a repeated changing process, that is, from the monotonous descending to the appearance of a maximum, then to monotonous rise, and finally to the appearance of a maximum again. With the increase of the quantum noise intensity O,, the curve experiences a changing process from the monotonous rise to the appearance of a maximum, and finally to the monotonous descending. The increase of the quantum noise with cross-correlation between the real and imaginary parts will lead to the fall of the whole curve, but not affect the form of the time evolution of C（t）.     

Dye laser model with pump and quantum fluctuations; colored noise

A single mode dye laser model with two stochastically fluctuating forces representing pump and quantum fluctuations is discussed. In extension to a previous paper we investigate the different influences ofcolored pump noise andwhite quantum fluctuations on the laser light statistics. The corresponding two-variable Fokker-Planck equation is solved by means ofmatrix continued fractions. A comparison to the model with two white noise forces is also included. We focus especially on the intensity correlation time enhancement observed for low noise strengths which seems to be the result of a competition between (multiplicative) pump noise and (additive) quantum noise. An increase in correlation time of the colored pump noise causes the intensity correlation time enhancement to disappear.

Saturation Effects in Mode-competition Effects of a Two-mode Laser with Multiplicative Noise

The full saturation effects in mode-competition effect of a two-mode laser with multiplicative noise are studied. By comparing a gain-noise model with a loss-noise model, it is found that the saturation term really has a great effect on mode-competition effects.     

Colored noise in a two-dimensional nonlinear system

A two-dimensional decoupling theory is developed when colored noise is included in a nonlinear dynamical system. By a functional analysis, the colored noise is transformed to an effective noise that includes the noise correlation time, the mean dynamical variable, and the original noise strength. When the two-dimensional decoupling theory is applied to single-mode and two-mode dye laser systems, the mean, variance, and effective eigenvalue of laser intensity are calculated. Excellent agreement between theoretical analysis, numerical simulations, and experimental measurements are obtained. It is seen that the increase of noise correlation time can reduce the fluctuations in the laser system. It is also shown that there is relatively large fluctuation in the phase when the laser undergoes from thermal light to coherent light when the theory is applied to a single mode dye laser.

Intensity Correlation Function of a Single-Mode Laser Driven by Two Colored Noises with Colored Cross-Correlation

By using the linear approximation method, the intensity correlation function and the intensity correlation time are calculated in a gain-noise model of a single-mode laser driven by colored cross-correlated pump noise and quantum noise, each of which is colored. We detect that, when the cross-correlation between both noises is negative, the behavior of the intensity correlation function C(t) versus time t, in addition to decreasing monotonously, also exhibits several other cases, such as one maximum, one minimum, and two extrema (one maximum and one minimum), i.e., some parameters of the noises can greatly change the dependence of the intensity correlation function upon time.

Moreover, we find that there is a minimum Tmin in the curve of the intensity correlation time versus the pump noise intensity, and the depth and position of Train strongly depend on the quantum noise self-correlation time T2 and cross-correlation time T3.     

Intensity Correlation Function of a Single-Mode Laser Driven by Colored Cross-Correlation Noises in Modulation of a Bias Signal

By using the linear approximation method, the intensity correlation function is calculated for a single-mode laser modulated by a bias signal and driven by colored pump and quantum noises with colored cross-correlation. We found that, when the correlation time between the two noises is very short, the behavior of the intensity correlation function versus the time, in addition to decreasing monotonously, also exhibits several cases, such as one maximum, one minimum, and two extrema. When the correlation time between the two noises is very long, the behavior of the intensity correlation function exhibits oscillation and the envelope is similar to the case of short cross-correlation time.

It is shown that the noise correlation time can affect the parameter plane of the first-order-like phase transition. The steady state intensity distributions in a laser system is changed greatly with noise correlation time τ.     

Passive Q-switches for Nd:hosted Solid State Lasers

The currently available Nd:hosted lasers utilizing passive Q-switches: a plastic dye sheet, a LiF:F₂- color center crystal, a Cr⁴⁺:YAG crystal or a RG1000 colored glass filter have been investigated in detail and the results summarized for comparison purposes for the first time. We first briefly summarize our own and others’ past studies, and report on recent new results concerning the use of Cr⁴⁺:YAG crystals and RG1000 colored glass filters as Nd:hosted laser passive Q-switchings. We then investigate in detail solid state laser system design using the above four passive modulators. Typical interpretations are given based on characteristic features of the materials, such as their saturation intensity and relaxation times. The results are then explained via adequate equations derived with respect to the relevant physical parameters of the materials. The optical dersity selection of plastic dye sheet passive Q-switching for the Nd:YAG laser system design is verified quantitatively, and the slope efficiencies from plastic dye sheet passive Q-switched operation by single pulse and multiple pulse bursts are investigated. The multi-peak Q-switched pulse timing phenomena are presented as well. The outstanding annealability, long lifetime, inexpensiveness and high repetition rate operation of LiF:F₂- crystals are highly recommended.

Statistical fluctuations in a saturation laser model with correlated noises

We study the effects of correlations between quantum and pump noises on fluctuations of the laser intensity in a saturation laser model. An approximative Fokker--Planck equation and analytic expressions of the steady-state probability distribution function (SPD) of the laser system are derived. Based on the SPD, the normalized mean, the normalized variance, and the normalized skewness of the steady-state laser intensity are calculated numerically. The results indicate that (i) the correlation strength \lambda of correlated noises always enhances the fluctuation of laser intensity; (ii) the correlation time \tau of correlated noises strengthens the fluctuation of laser intensity for the below-threshold case but \tau weakens it for the above-threshold case.     

First-Order-Like Transition of Dye Laser Colored Gain Model

A unified colored-noise approximation, a novel approximative theory, is applied to solve the colored gain model for dye laser. The stationary probability of the colored gain model is derived. The first-order-like transition is discussed. The effect of the noise correlation time τ on the first-order-like transition is analysed. It's found that the size of the regions in the parameter plane is related with r and three different regions are turned into two different regions in the parameter plane as r >> 1/2a₁. By comparison, we find that the res.ults of the unified colored-noise approximation are more close to simulation's results than those of the best Fokker-Planck equation.
