Micro‐LED pumped polymer laser: A discussion of future pump sources for organic lasers

Optical pumping conditions for organic solid‐state lasers (OSLs) are discussed with particular emphasis on the use of gallium nitride based light‐emitting diodes (LEDs) as pump sources. LEDs operate in a regime where the pump should be optimized for a short rise time and high peak intensity, whereas fall time and overall pulse duration are less important. Lasers pumped with this approach need to have very low thresholds which can now be routinely created using (one‐dimensional) distributed feedback lasers. In this particular case stripe‐shaped excitation with linearly polarized light is beneficial. Arrays of micron‐sized flip‐chip LEDs have been arranged in an appropriate stripe shape and the array dimensions were chosen such that the divergence of LED emission does not cause a loss in peak intensity. These micro‐LED arrays have successfully been used to pump OSLs with thresholds near 300 W/cm² (∼9 ns rise time, 35 ns pulse duration), paving the way for compact arrays of indirectly electrically pumped OSLs.     

Laser characteristics of a new crystal Nd:Sr5(PO4)3F at 1.059 μm

The absorption spectrum of a new crystal Nd : Sr₅(PO₄)₃F or Nd : S-FAP, was measured, its two strong absorption peaks and broad effective absorption band showed that Nd : S-FAP can be appropriately pumped at 575 nm and 805.4 nm as well as with a xenon flashlamp. By using a tunable dye-laser (570.0~600.0 nm), a laser-diode (805 nm) and a xenon flash lamp as pump sources, respectively, the performance of a low threshold and high efficiency Nd:S-FAP laser at 1.059 (μm) (including pulse run, cw run, free-run and Q-switch run) has been demonstrated. The laser characteristics, such as the emission spectrum, the output energy, the output power, the pulse width, etc, were measured. In addition, the prospect of a Nd:S-FAP crystal for low-threshold high-efficiency miniature lasers is discussed.     

Amplified spontaneous emission from nitrogen laser pumped dye lasers

The nitrogen laser pumped dye laser output has been studied with emphasis on the behaviour of amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) with respect to the tuning wavelength, pump energy, dyes and their concentration and solvents. Spectral spread of ASE is narrower than fluorescence and its maximum is shifted towards the red side. However, lasing occurs beyond the ASE region. ASE is small at high gain wavelength and increases at the edges of the gain curve. Laser energy is highest at the ASE peak with minimum ASE present in the output. ASE is reduced with increased laser energy in the energy transfer dye lasers.     

Designing of an efficient multi-aperture,edge pumped thin-disk laser

In this article the operation of a composite Yb:YAG/YAG asymmetric hexagonal thin disk laser is optimized. This structure consists an Yb:YAG thin sheet as laser material and a diffusion bonded undoped material on top of thin sheet. Three diodes are placed outside the asymmetric hexagonal shape disk, and the emitting light is coupled via three lens ducts through its three edges and propagates through the disk along the zigzag path and repeatedly passes the gain medium, thus pump uniformity and absorption efficiency are improved. A Monte Carlo ray tracing code and Finite Element Analysis is utilized for calculation of absorbed pump density and volume temperature distribution and also thermal and mechanical stresses, respectively. Finally the output power is calculated. The triplet designing parameters, namely absorbed power efficiency, absorption uniformity and temperature distribution are optimized. Results show this edge-facet pumped geometry is a high efficient configuration for thin gain lasers.     

Cr:forsterite laser pumped by broad-area laser diodes

We report the demonstration of a Cr:forsterite laser pumped by broad-area laser diodes producing non-diffraction-limited beams. The use of a thin crystal to reduce losses at the lasing wavelength and of short-wavelength pump diodes reduces the lasing threshold to <500mW .Relatively low output powers (5mW) are obtained, but prospects for increasing the power and achieving mode-locked operation of this laser are good and are discussed.     

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.

Emission polarization of random lasers in organic dye solutions

This Letter presents a polarimetric study of the emission of random lasers from organic dyes. Coherent lasing modes from samples with ethanol solvent showed a high degree of polarization and did not influence each other in polarization. The proper choice of a laser dye with asymmetric absorption momenta, a highly viscous solvent, and a linear pump polarization can cause the random lasing emission to be completely linearly polarized for all wavelengths within the amplification range.     

Two-photon pumping of random lasers by picosecond and nanosecond lasers

We experimentally demonstrated two-photon pumping of random lasers using picosecond and nanosecond pump lasers. The picosecond laser pumping experiment was performed with 400 ps laser pulses at 770 nm, and the gain media was a Coumarin 480D dye solution doped with TiO₂ nanoparticles. Onset of laser action was observed at a pump laser pulse energy below 500 μJ. The nanosecond laser pumping experiment was performed with 7 ns laser pulses at 1064 nm, and the gain media was a Rhodamine 640 dye solution doped with TiO₂ nanoparticles. Onset of laser action was observed at a pump laser energy ∼18 mJ. Our results suggest that there exists an optimal pulse duration of the pumping laser in two-photon pumped random lasing that leads to minimum photodamage of the gain media and still keeps a high pumping efficiency.
