三能级固体激光介质对抽运光吸收的理论研究

从激光介质中光能量的传输方程和描述脉冲激光的能级跃迁速率方程出发，研究了激光介质对抽运光的吸收特性.理论分析表明，固体激光介质对抽运光的吸收不仅是指数函数吸收方式，当抽运光的能量密度增大到一定程度时激光介质对抽运光的吸收变为非指数函数吸收，吸收深度增加.以红宝石晶体为例进行了具体的理论计算，结果显示出了随抽运光能量密度增大介质吸收的变化规律. 关键词： 抽运 激光介质 光传输方程 光吸收

Theoretical study of the pump light absorption inside a three-level solid state laser medium

The theoretical solution of the pump light absorption of a laser medium is presented. It is shown that the absorption of pump light with respect to the depth in the solid medium is not a simply exponential function. When the pump photon den sity is high enough, the variation of the absorption becomes nonexponential. The se theoretical results have been verified by experiment with the medium of ruby.
