Single quantum dot nanolaser

Recent theoretical and experimental progress on nanolasers is reviewed with a focus on the emission properties of devices operating with a few or even an individual semiconductor quantum dot as a gain medium. Concepts underlying the design and operation of these devices, microscopic models describing light‐matter interaction and semiconductor effects, as well as recent experimental results and lasing signatures are discussed. In particular, a critical review of the “self‐tuned gain” mechanism which gives rise to quantum‐dot mode coupling in the off‐resonant case is provided. Furthermore recent advances in the modeling of single quantum dot lasers beyond the artificial atom model are presented with a focus on the exploration of similarities and differences between the atomic and semiconductor systems.     

Solvable model of quantum-optical feedback

A quantized optical cavity mode controlled by dissipation, two-photon source and feedback loop is studied. The feedback is activated by detections of photons leaving the cavity and consists of rapid phase shifts of the cavity field by π. The steady-state of the mode and first-order field correlation functions let analytical exploration. The feedback radically modifies the shape of the mode's spectrum - it gets asymmetry and its double-peaked structure manifests itself much more discernibly than in no-feedback case. Up to our knowledge, the present quantum feedback model is the first one which permits exact solution.     

193 nm photolysis of CHCl3: Probe of the CH product by CRDS

The CH radical production induced by 193 nm two-photon photolysis of CHCl₃ has been measured for the first time via the cavity ring-down absorption spectroscopy of its A–X bands, using a commercial nanosecond pulsed dye laser. The range of pressure and laser intensity, as well as the time window detection, have been carefully chosen to ensure a constant CH number density during the measurement and to avoid post-photolysis reactivity. Internal energy distribution of the CH(X²II) fragment has been derived from population distribution simulations, leading to an average vibrational temperature T_vib = 1900 ± 50 K and rotational temperature T_rot = 300 ± 20 K. Two competing mechanisms can be invoked for the CH production channel: either two-photon absorption via resonant excited states of CHCl₃ leading to dissociation of excited CHCl₃, or two-photon sequential dissociation via the formation of the vibrationally excited CHCl₂ fragment. The latter mechanism is proposed to be the prominent process for CH formation.     

Spatial and temporal probing of a laser-induced plasma plume by cavity ringdown spectroscopy

The laser-induced plasma plume of a Ti target in vacuum is probed by the technique of cavity ringdown spectroscopy. A model is developed to perform a forward convolution of atomic absorption line profile measurements. The model accounts for laser-induced plasma characteristics such as anisotropy of the plume and velocity distributions of the ablated particles as well as of the cavity ringdown features such as geometry and time selectivity. The absorption lineshapes of atomic transitions are calculated and discussed for given sets of parameters. Calculated line profiles are fitted to experimental line profiles obtained from nanosecond-laser ablation of the target and provide data about the plume dynamics.     

Cavity QED based tuneable,delayed-choice quantum eraser

We propose an experimentally feasible idea for the delayed-choice quantum eraser, having adjustable path distinguishability/fringe visibility. The schematics are based on resonant, dispersive and Ramsey interactions of atoms under cavity QED scenario. The option for tuneability of the fringes in a delayed-choice setup stringently marks the conception of the time in the quantum theory, operational meanings of the state vector reduction and raises questions about Ψ$\Psi$-ontic models while helping to shed out the controversies surrounding the quantum eraser theme. The proposal can be efficiently executed experimentally within the prevailing cavity QED experimental research scenario with good overall success probability and fidelity.

A simplified cavity analysis for estimating energy coupling during laser ablation and drilling of solids — experiment

The theory for a general departure function, f, for laser-irradiated cavities was previously developed to estimate laser energy coupling to an opaque solid target as a function of heat transfer and the cavity shape and size. In this article, a specific form of f is calculated for ultraviolet (UV) laser ablation of copper (Cu) and aluminum (Al) targets. Methods are also given for calculating the geometric factor, a, and experimentally determining the heat transfer parameter, ν, which is shown for this form of f to be the intensity-dependent effective reflectivity of the material. Experimental results for different gauges of laser energy coupling with a solid target are given and compared to calculations of net absorbed energy based on f and the incident laser energy. Using the simplified cavity analysis, the results demonstrate that the experimental values for f fall within the limits predicted by the theory, and that energy coupling can be predicted to within a mean of 2% of experimental gauges. Neglecting the factors in f from calculations of energy coupling can lead to large errors for laser-irradiated cavities, establishing that both cavity shape and heat transfer should be simultaneously considered. In addition, a first-order sensitivity analysis based on f shows that the initial rate of change in material removal strongly increases with reflectivity, which can lead to runaway cavity formation for highly reflective materials.
