Gain and lasing of optically pumped metastable rare gas atoms

Optically pumped alkali vapor lasers are currently being developed in several laboratories. The objective is to construct high-powered lasers that also exhibit excellent beam quality. Considerable progress has been made, but there are technical challenges associated with the reactivity of the metal atoms. Rare gas atoms (Rg) excited to the np(5)(n+1)s (3)P(2) configuration are metastable and have spectral properties that are closely similar to those of the alkali metals. In principle, optically pumped lasers could be constructed using excitation of the np(5)(n+1)p←np(5)(n+1)s transitions. We have demonstrated this potential by observing gain and lasing for optically pumped Ar(*), Kr(*) and Xe(*). Three-level lasing schemes were used, with He or Ar as the collisional energy transfer agent that established the population inversion. These laser systems have the advantage of using inert reagents that are gases at room temperature.     

Oscillator Laser Model

A laser model is formulated in terms of quantum harmonic oscillators. Emitters in the low lasing states are usual harmonic oscillators, and emitters in the upper states are inverted harmonic oscillators. Diffusion coefficients, consistent with the model and necessary for solving quantum nonlinear laser equations analytically, are found. Photon number fluctuations of the lasing mode and fluctuations of the population of the lasing states are calculated. Collective Rabi splitting peaks are predicted in the intensity fluctuation spectra of the superradiant lasers. Population fluctuation mechanisms in superradiant lasers and lasers without superradiance are discussed and compared with each other.     

Limiting pulse repetition rate in copper vapor lasers

Two groups of processes which limit the rate-power characteristics of copper vapor lasers are examined. The first of these is related to the inadequate relaxation rate of the metastable states and accordingly their high prepulse concentration, which degrades the lasing pulse parameters. The second group of processes is initiated by the high prepulse electron concentration. It is shown that if the effect of the prepulse electrons is neutralized in pulse-periodic copper vapor lasers, then lasing starts up again in the next pulse within 1 μs after the preceding pulse stops. It is concluded that the rate of deexcitation of the metastable states is so high that it has no effect whatever on the lasing parameters in real gas-discharge lasers based on copper vapor or copper bromide vapor, and the prospects are opened up for attaining a lasing power of ∼10 kW/m with electron-beam pumping.

Lasing in random media

A random laser is a non-conventional laser whose feedback mechanism is based on disorder-induced light scattering. Depending on whether the feedback supplied by scattering is intensity feedback or amplitude feedback, random lasers are classified into two categories: random lasers with incoherent feedback and random lasers with coherent feedback. A brief survey of random lasers with incoherent feedback is presented. It is followed by a review of our recent experimental work on random lasers with coherent feedback, including measurement of the lasing threshold, lasing spectra, emission pattern, dynamical response, photon statistics, speckle pattern and the investigation of relevant length scales. Large disorder leads to spatial confinement of the lasing modes, that is the foundation for the micro random laser. Some theoretical models of random lasers with coherent feedback are briefly introduced. The study of random lasers improves our understanding of the interplay between light localization and coherent amplification.     

An improved radial temperature model of a high-powered He–SrBr2 laser

When designing and modeling metal vapor and metal halide vapor lasers, the radial distribution of the gas temperature is found by solving the steady-state heat conduction equation for the internal tube at mixed boundary conditions. The volume power density is usually taken as a constant and the unknown value for the temperature of the inner wall is substituted by the measured temperature of the outer wall of the composite laser tube. In this paper, these inaccuracies are overcome. A general solution of the steady-state heat conduction problem has been suggested for an arbitrary volume power density. In order to determine the temperature of the inner wall, a complete model of the radial heat flow has been constructed. The resulting model has been applied in order to evaluate the gas temperature of a new high-powered strontium laser at different qualitative distributions of volume power density. The results have been compared with the known simple models. The presented model could be used on its own for existing and future lasers or as part of other types of theoretical or computer models.     

1.55-μm InGaAs/InGaAlAs MQW vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers with InGaAlAs/InP distributed Bragg reflectors

High-performance InGaAs/InGaAlAs multiple-quantum-well vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs) with InGaAlAs/InP distributed Bragg reflectors are proposed for operation at the wavelength of 1.55 μm. The lasers have good heat diffusion characteristic, large index contrast in DBRs, and weak temperature sensitivity. They could be fabricated either by metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) or by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) growth. The laser light-current characteristics indicate that a suitable reflectivity of the DBR on the light output side in a laser makes its output power increase greatly and its lasing threshold current reduce significantly, and that a small VCSEL could output the power around its maximum for the output mirror at the reflectivity varying in a broader range than a large VCSEL does.     

Sputtered and heated high-voltage hollow-cathode zinc lasers

The operational characteristics of two different high-voltage hollow-cathode zinc ion lasers are reported. The first is a segmented hollow-cathode laser in which the metal vapor is produced by sputtering of the cathode material. In the second, a hollow-anode-cathode laser, the metal is thermally evaporated from a heated side-arm. The small-signal gain on the Zn-II 492.4 nm transition and the multi-line output power on the Zn-II 492.4 and 491.1 nm transitions are measured under different discharge conditions. Small-signal gains of 100 and 60%m^-1 are obtained with the sputtered and heated lasers, respectively. A comparison of the small-signal gain data with those obtained with other discharge configurations is also presented . PACS 42.55.Lt; 42.60.Lh; 52.80.-s
