Stimulated Emission Cross Section in Xenon-Neon Lasers

The Fluorescence of Pr3+ in Zinc Lithium Bismuth Borate Glasses with Large Stimulated Emission Cross Section

Glass sample of Zinc Lithium Bismuth Borate (25−x) Bi2O3:20Li2O:20ZnO:35B2O3:xPr6O11, (where x = 1, 1.5 and 2 mol%) has been prepared by melt-quenching technique. The amorphous nature of the prepared glass samples was confirmed by X-ray diffraction. The absorption spectra of three Pr3+ doped zinc lithium bismuth borate glasses have been recorded at room temperature. The observed optical spectra...

Effects of stimulated emission on transport in terahertz quantum cascade lasers based on diagonal designs

A hybrid Monte Carlo-density matrix transport simulator is used to analyze the transport properties of resonant-phonon type terahertz quantum cascade lasers. By comparing calculated and experimental results, the importance of stimulated emission to the interpretation of experimental data is highlighted, particularly for devices based on diagonal radiative transitions. Finally, we discuss the ab...

Emission and absorption cross section of thulium doped silica fibers.

A thorough investigation of the emission and absorption spectra of the (3F4,3H6) band in thulium doped silica fibers has been performed. All the basic parameters of thulium in silica have been extracted with the purpose of further analysis in laser and amplifier simulations. The experimental methods used to obtain the scaled cross sections have been carefully selected in order to avoid problems...

Applications of Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation (Lasers) for Restorative Dentistry

Light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation (laser) has been used widely in a range of biomedical and dental applications in recent years. In the field of restorative dentistry, various kinds of lasers have been developed for diagnostic (e.g. caries detection) and operative applications (e.g. tooth ablation, cavity preparation, restorations, bleaching). The main benefits for laser a...
