Solitons in fiber amplifiers beyond the parabolic - gain and rate - equation approximations
We explore the existence of solitons in a nonlinear, dispersive, amplifying medium based on a model that makes neither the parabolic-gain approximation nor the rate-equation approximation. Without these approximations, the Maxwell-Bloch equations no longer reduce to a Ginzburg-Landau equation and do not appear to have analytic soliton solutions. We use numerical simulations to show that solitar...
متن کاملHigh Intensity Lasers in Periodontics: A Review
Background and Aim: Lasers can serve as a new powerful tool in dentistry. High intensity laser therapy is becoming the treatment of choice compared with conventional periodontal therapy due to accurate incision and soft and hard tissue ablation, hemostasis, reduction of postoperative pain and infection, optimal debridement, and enhanced healing. Although high intensity laser therapy assumes to ...
متن کاملQuantum effects in high-gain free-electron lasers.
A many-particle fully quantized theory for a free-electron laser which is valid in the high-gain regime is presented. We examine quantum corrections for the high-gain single-pass free-electron laser. It is shown that quantum effects become significant when the photon energy becomes comparable to the gain bandwidth. The initiation of the free-electron laser process from quantum fluctuations in t...
متن کاملSimple analytical approximations for the gain and refractive index spectra in quantum-well lasers
An analytical expression for the low-temperature optical susceptibility of quantum-well semiconductor lasers is presented based on a simple parabolic band model. The optical susceptibility obtained keeps the nonlinear dependence on the carrier density, providing both a broad gain spectrum and a dispersion curve, so it can be used to analyze the dynamics of multimode devices or devices with larg...
متن کاملSimple rate-equation model for two-photon lasers.
We present a rate-equation model for two-photon lasers that, despite its simplicity, captures the essential physics of their behavior and affords an intuitive understanding of their novel threshold and stability behavior. We use the model to investigate the steady-state behavior of the laser, explore the stability of the steady-state solutions, and predict the injected pulse strength needed to ...
