Lasing without inversion: Gain enhancement through spectrally colored population pumping.
We propose the use of spectrally colored rather than white (i.e., incoherent) population pumping in lasing-without-inversion schemes. We show that colored pumping can lead to a significant enhancement in gain by presenting explicit results for the gain in a three-level ladder system. These results are obtained from Monte Carlo simulations of the coupled density-matrix-equations, which, for a co...
متن کاملMolecular Rydberg Laser without inversion
Using ab-initio simulations, we demonstrate amplification of XUV radiation in a high-harmonic generation type process in the hydrogen molecular ion. A small fraction of the molecules is pumped with 9 eV photons to a dissociative Rydberg state from which IR-assisted XUV amplification is observed up to 22 eV. We show that starting at IR driving field intensities of 2 × 10 W/cm, the hitherto domin...
متن کاملObservation of atoms laser cooled below the Doppler limit.
Laser cooling is the use of laser radiation to reduce the relative motion of a collection of atoms. The most common type of laser cooling is "Doppler cooling" where the Doppler shift causes the radiation pressure force to be velocity dependent, thus damping atomic motion when the laser frequency is tuned below an atomic resonance. Atoms (or ions) cooled by this method have been used in applicat...
متن کاملGain without inversion for gamma radiation 1
Gain without inversion for a level-mixing scheme is studied for gamma-optics. In this scheme nuclear level mixing is created by misalignment of a dc magnetic field with respect to the c-axis of a noncubic crystal. Axially symmetric electron nuclear coupling and nuclear quadrupole interaction with an electric field gradient produce two electro-nuclear levels that are equally mixed and split, wit...
متن کاملObservation of Atoms Laser-Cooled Below the Doppler Limit
This 1989 paper [1] reported a breakthrough which led to a Nobel Prize for William D. Phillips—the first Nobel to be awarded to a NBS/NIST staff scientist. The experiment described in the paper demonstrated that light from a laser could be used to cool atoms to a much lower temperature than was previously thought possible. The fact that light carries momentum and can exert a force on objects wa...
