Phase modulation of propagation effect with Doppler broadening

This paper studies the propagation effect in a closed lambda-type three-level atomic system with Doppler broadening. It is shown that, Doppler broadening due to atomic motion and propagation effect associated with driving field depletion along the active medium decreases obviously the gain and output of the lasing without inversion （LWI）; the relative phase between the probe and driving fields has a remarkable modulation role to the propagation effect on LWI when Doppler broadening presents; by choosing suitable value of the relative phase, we can get the largest gain and output of LWI.     

Free‐electron laser multiplex driven by a superconducting linear accelerator

Free‐electron lasers (FELs) generate femtosecond XUV and X‐ray pulses at peak powers in the gigawatt range. The FEL user facility FLASH at DESY (Hamburg, Germany) is driven by a superconducting linear accelerator with up to 8000 pulses per second. Since 2014, two parallel undulator beamlines, FLASH1 and FLASH2, have been in operation. In addition to the main undulator, the FLASH1 beamline is equipped with an undulator section, sFLASH, dedicated to research and development of fully coherent extreme ultraviolet photon pulses using external seed lasers. In this contribution, the first simultaneous lasing of the three FELs at 13.4 nm, 20 nm and 38.8 nm is presented.

Analysis of the laser performance of Tm3+, Tb3+(Ho3+):YVO4 crystals at ～1.5μm wavelength

The absorption spectra of Tb,Tm:YVO_4 and Ho,Tm:YVO_4 are measured. The radiant and non-radiant transition probabilities from higher level to lower level, A_{i,j} and ω_{i,j}, and the cross-elaxation probability are calculated in virtue of Judd－Ofelt and Dexter theories. The fluorescence lifetime of Tm^{3+} in the Tb^{3+} (or Ho^{3+}) co-doped crystal is calculated. It indicates that the lifetime of initial level {}^3H_4 of the laser transition can be shorter than that of terminal level {}^3F_4 of the transition if the atomic percentage of Tb^{3+} (or Ho^{3+}) ions is bigger than about 1 at%: namely, by means of the co-doping Tb^{3+} (or Ho^{3+}) ions the self-termination phenomenon of laser light can be eliminated. Inserting the optic parameters to the formula deduced here on the laser threshold power P^{(4)}_{th} and the slope efficiency η^{(4)}_s of the four-energy-level system, we obtain the relationship of threshold power P^{(4)}_{th} to the concentration of Tm^{3+} ions and discuss the effect of Tb^{3+} (or Ho^{3+}) ion concentration on the laser threshold power P^{(4)}_{th} around 1.5μm wavelength. The result shows that Tb,Tm:YVO_4 crystal is a better choice to make the laser at ～1.5μm wavelength than Ho,Tm:YVO_4 crystal. We give the appropriate composition of (1－2) at% Tb, (1－2) at% Tm:YVO_4, just for reference.     

量子点激子超辐射的条件和量子点集合的相干辐射

半导体量子点的激子超辐射出现的条件是本文激子超辐射的理论研究中的重点,我们的理论推导结果揭示要观测到半导体量子点的激子超辐射必须采用短于百飞秒的激发源。我们用ZnO单量子点观察到激子超辐射,同时测量和分析讨论了量子点集合的相干辐射性质,发现单量子点超辐射的二次方泵浦与辐射强度关系被大量量子点间的线性递增所掩盖。     

纳米结构ZnO晶体薄膜室温紫外激光发射

文章综述了纳米结构的氧化锌半导体薄膜在室温下自由激子的自发辐射以及由自由激子引起的受激发射的特性，阐述了在不同激发密度下室温紫外受激发射的机理．纳米结构氧化锌半导体薄膜是用激光分子束外延(L-MBE)技术生长在蓝宝石衬底上的．薄膜由密集而规则排列的纳米尺度的六角柱组成．这些纳米六角柱起着限制激子运动的作用，激子的量子尺寸效应，使激子的跃迁振子强度大幅度增强．同时六角柱之间的晶面组成了一个天然的激光谐振腔．室温下用三倍频的YAG脉冲激光激发，可从这些纳米结构的氧化锌薄膜中观测到很强的紫外激光发射．研究发现，在中等激发密度下，紫外受激发射是由于激子与激子间碰撞而引起的辐射复合．在高密度激发条件下，由于激子趋于离化，紫外受激发射主要由电子-空穴等离子体的辐射复合引起．由于纳米结构中激子的跃迁振子增强效应，在室温下测量到的光学增益高达320cm^-1，这比在同样条件下测量到的块状氧化锌晶体的光学增益要高一个量级以上．与传统的电子-空穴等离子体激光辐射相比，激子引起的受激发射可在较低的激发密度条件下实现．这在实际应用上很有价值．     

用激光增益获取弱增益拉曼模式的受激拉曼散射光谱

当酒精的弱增益拉曼模式处于罗丹明640染料分子的激光增益范围时，在由悬垂液滴构成的圆形谐振腔中，观察到乙醇分子C—H伸缩系列模中多个弱增益拉曼模式的受激拉曼散射（SRS）光谱.随着抽运光的增强，迅速增长的强增益拉曼模式的受激辐射抑制了其他弱增益模式的SRS，并导致染料激光的完全淬灭.通过分析圆形腔腔模的光子速率方程和激光染料分子的三能级粒子数速率方程，解释了观察到的实验现象. 关键词： 受激拉曼散射 悬垂液滴 弱拉曼增益模式 激光增益     

随机光纤激光器中光纤与随机介质匹配问题的研究

降低阈值是随机激光实用化的前提, 随机光纤激光器是将随机增益介质填充到空芯光子晶体光纤中利 用其光子禁带来降低阈值的一种随机激光器. 理论分析表明: 在光子晶体光纤光子禁带的约束下, 随机光纤激光器中的大部分能量被集中在芯区传播, 这使局域在芯区的光与随机介质相互作用得到增强, 激发效率得以提高. 然而, 光纤填充介质后, 纤芯等效折射率发生了改变, 光子带隙也会随之移动, 因此当选用带隙光纤来降低阈值时, 只考虑光纤本身的带隙是不够的, 应考虑到介质的增益频率和填充后的光子带隙之间的匹配问题, 合理选择光纤或介质的材料, 如果匹配得当, 光子禁带对激光的调控能力会更强, 激光阈值有望得到更大程度的降低. 关键词： 随机激光 光子晶体光纤 光子禁带 阈值
