Astigmatically compensated, high gain cooperative upconversion laser
In recent years a variety of schemes have been explored for compact, short-wavelength laser sources in solids. These include wide gap semiconductor diode lasers,* nonlinear generation of optical harmonics by phase matching,2 quasiphase matching,3 and upconversion lasers in bulk media4 and fibers.5 In practical terms, while all these approaches have shown promise, all currently exhibit important...
متن کاملVisible cooperative upconversion laser in Er:LiYF(4).
We report trio upconversion laser action in Er:LiYF(4) with excitation at 1.55 microm resulting in cw emission at 0.55 microm to a temperature of 95 K and contrast its performance with earlier green erbium upconversion lasers.
متن کاملHigh current gain transistor laser
A transistor laser (TL), having the structure of a transistor with multi-quantum wells near its base region, bridges the functionality gap between lasers and transistors. However, light emission is produced at the expense of current gain for all the TLs reported up to now, leading to a very low current gain. We propose a novel design of TLs, which have an n-doped InP layer inserted in the emitt...
متن کاملNonlinear dynamics of cooperative upconversion
We describe several new aspects of light-matter interactions for solids in which interatomic coupling of impurity atoms plays a dominant role in population dynamics. We explore the implications of spatial coherence in such multiatom interactions by introducing a density-matrix theory of cooperative upconversion, focusing on pair systems for which analytic results can be obtained. We predict pop...
متن کاملUpconversion Laser Processes
Pump processes that produce upconversion laser emission in trivalent rare earth ion-doped gain media are described, and the performance of upconversion lasers pumped by these processes is reviewed. Sequential two-photon absorption upconversion, cooperative energy transfer upconversion and photon avalanche upconversion are discussed in relation to the production of visible laser emission. Using ...
