Measurement of στ product of solid state laser materials by an alternative method: Application to Nd3+ doped YVO4 crystal for 4 F 3/2→4 I 11/2 transition

In this paper an alternative approach for measurement of στ product for ⁴ F _3/2→⁴ I _11/2 transition of Nd³⁺ doped YVO₄ crystal is reported. In this method a microchip laser is formed by keeping a small piece of the sample in plane-plane resonator and a diode laser (808 nm) is used for pumping. The pump power induced thermal lensing effect is used to make the cavity stable. The cavity mode area is estimated by measuring the thermal lens focal length at the threshold and the average pump area is measured by Gaussian fit to the intensity profiles of the pump beam. The value of στ product of Nd:YVO₄ crystal obtained by this method is within 10% of the reported values. The advantage of this method is that it is a simple method for direct measurement of στ product of laser crystals.     

Can a linearly polarized light beam polarize atomic spin?

Lax et al. [Phys. Rev. 11 (1975) 1365] discovered that a light beam in vacuum is not a transverse wave but does have a longitudinal field component. We investigate atomic and molecular electric dipole transitions induced by such a light beam, in particular, linearly polarized in a transverse plane. We derive the selection rules and the transition rates for various quantization axes using the paraxial approximation up to the first order of 1/kw, where k is the wave number and w is the transverse size of the light beam. The light beam is able to yield atomic spin polarization in the direction perpendicular to both the optical axis and the transverse electric field, and its magnitude is approximately 1/kw times that generated by a circularly polarized light wave with the similar intensity.

弱场中光抽运极化Eu原子束的制备

自五十年代首次实现光抽运技术以来,人们用它已对多种原子进行了极化原子束制备的研究[1～5],但所有这些工作只是以相对简单的碱金属原子为对象,而对价电子数大于1的复杂原子的极化原子束的制备目前尚未见报道.描述了用一台连续波染料激光器对复杂原子Eu进行了弱场制备极化原子束的实验研究,得到了较满意的结果.     

不同Yb掺质浓度的Yb:Y3Al5O12晶体激光性能的比较

采用提拉法生长了Yb3+掺质浓度为5;原子分数、 50;原子分数和100;原子分数的Yb:Y3Al5O12(Yb: YAG)晶体,系统地分析了不同Yb3+掺质浓度晶体的吸收光谱和荧光光谱.从吸收峰和吸收系数可以看出采用940nm LD泵浦三种不同浓度的Yb:YAG晶体都比较合适.随着Yb3+离子掺质浓度的增高,晶体中出现的自吸收现象越为明显.通过对三种不同Yb掺质浓度晶体激光性能参数的计算,得出高掺质浓度Yb:YAG和YbAG晶体是有前景的激光增益介质.     

Mixed Conduction in BaCe0.8Pr0.2O3-α Ceramic

BaCe0.8Pr0.2O3-α ceramic was synthesized by high temperature solid-state reaction. The structural characteristics and the phase purity of the crystal were determined using powder X-ray diffraction analysis. By using the methods of AC impedance spectroscopy, gas concentration cell and electrochemical pumping of hydrogen, the conductivity and ionic transport number of BaCe0.8Pr0.2O3-α were measured, and the electrical conduction behavior of the material was investigated in different gases in the temperature range of 500-900 ffiC. The results indicate that the material was of a single perovskite-type orthorhombic phase. From 500 ffiC to 900 ffiC, electronic-hole conduction was dominant in dry and wet oxygen, air or nitrogen, and the total conductivity of the material increased slightly with increasing oxygen partial pressure in the oxygen partial pressure range studied. Ionic conduction was dominant in wet hydrogen, and the total conductivity was about one or two orders of magnitude higher than that in hydrogen-free atmosphere (oxygen, air or nitrogen).     

The Effect of Incoherent Population Pumping on Squeezing in Resonance Fluorescence

The effect of incoherent population pumping on the steady-state population inversion and the quadrature squeezing spectra produced in the resonance fluorescence of a two-level atom is investigated. In the presence of incoherent population pumping, the steady-state population inversion is increased for small frequency detuning but is not changed for large frequency detuning. For resonant excitation at low intensities, the weak incoherent pumping degrades the degree of the squeezing and shifts the position of the maximum squeezing; for off-resonant excitation at strong intensities, the weak incoherent pumping hardly changes the squeezing spectra. But when the incoherent pumping is strong the squeezing may be completely destroyed for both cases.     

An apparatus for NMR of laser polarized 129Xe on single crystal surfaces

Due to a lack of at least 2 orders of magnitude in the amount of sample nuclei, single crystal surfaces are out of reach for conventional NMR measurements. Our aim is to prove that highly polarized ¹²⁹Xe provides a technique to overcome this restriction. Therefore an apparatus for polarizing ¹²⁹Xe up to 0.7 by spin transfer from optically pumped Rb has been designed as well as an NMR spectrometer in combination with a UHV chamber with sample cleaning, cooling and characterization abilities and a special manifold of glass stopcocks with a liquid nitrogen cooled trap for dosing nitrogen free polarized Xe into the chamber onto the surface.
