A two-photon pumped polyfluorene laser
نویسندگان
چکیده
A tunable two-photon pumped solid-state laser based on polyfluorene is reported. A detailed investigation of the two-photon absorption in polyfluorene for both nanosecond and femtosecond time regimes in solution, and solid-state allows the determination of the most favorable conditions for lasing. Tunable distributed feedback lasers are made by spin coating from a polyfluorene solution on corrugated silica substrates and lasing is achieved under two-photon excitation at 640 nm with an absorbed energy density at lasing threshold of 1.3 mJ /cm2. These results highlight an alternative pumping scheme for blue organic semiconductor lasers. © 2009 American Institute of Physics. DOI: 10.1063/1.3149827

TWO PHOTON TRANSITIONS IN THE OPTOGALVANIC SPECTRUM OF NEON
Seventeen two-photon transitions for neon have been observed in the 580- 635 nm spectral region for use in the spectroscopic study of its higher excited levels, which are not accessible by one-photon absorption. To compare the two and one-photon absorption signals originating from the same lower level, an effort was made to record single-photon optogalvanic spectrum in the available wavele...
متن کاملFemtosecond laser ablation of ZnO nanorods for two-photon-pumped random lasing and optical data storage
Femtosecond laser ablation based on two-photon absorption was employed to cut ZnO nanorods into uniform ZnO nanoparticles of deep subwavelength size. The fabricated ZnO nanoparticles possess a shorter mean transport length for photons at the emission wavelength and a much smaller scattering cross section at the pump wavelength, leading to highly efficient two-photon-pumped random lasing with a ...

This paper deals with the experimental results of a xenon flash-lamp pumped passively Q-switched Nd:YAG laser using Cr4+:YAG saturable absorber. The need of a laser cavity to be integrated into a time-of-flight laser range finder is of great interest as an experimental investigation of several laser resonators. Two types of laser resonator, with different lengths, have been studied: the flat-fl...
متن کاملConfinement of pyridinium hemicyanine dye within an anionic metal-organic framework for two-photon-pumped lasing
Two-photon-pumped dye lasers are very important because of their applications in wavelength up-conversion, optical data storage, biological imaging and photodynamic therapy. Such lasers are very difficult to realize in the solid state because of the aggregation-caused quenching. Here we demonstrate a new two-photon-pumped micro-laser by encapsulating the cationic pyridinium hemicyanine dye into...
متن کاملInvestigation of absorption pump light distribution in edged-pumped high power Yb:YAGYAG disk laser
In this article, we present a specific shape of disk laser which is side-pumped by four non-symmetric hollow- ducts. The use of non-symmetric hollow duct based on two goals of the uniformity of the pump light distribution profile and the homogeneity of pump light profile through the disk. First of all we simulated the pump light distribution in the disk by using Monte-Carlo ray tracing method. ...
