Lasing without inversion: Gain enhancement through spectrally colored population pumping.
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 colored pump, acquire the structure of Langevin equations.

Lasing with Pumping Levels of Si Nanocrystals on Silicon Wafer
It is reported that the silicon nanocrystals (NCs) are fabricated by using self-assembly growth method with the annealing and the electron beam irradiation processes in the pulsed laser depositing, on which the visible lasing with higher gain (over 130 cm-1) and the enhanced emission in optical telecommunication window are measured in photoluminescence (PL). It is interesting that the enhanced ...
متن کاملBlue five-level lasing-without-inversion system in rubidium
We demonstrate continuous coherent blue laser light production using a five-level lasing-without-inversion scheme in rubidium vapor. Two low-power lasers at 780 nm and 776 nm induce a strong atomic coherence in the 5S-5P-5D states. The atoms decay to the 6P excited state from which stimulated emission produces a coherent blue (420 nm) beam. We have coupled both ground-state hyperfine levels, ef...
متن کاملHybrid Multilayered Plasmonic Nanostars for Coherent Random Lasing
Here, we report that hybrid multilayered plasmonic nanostars can be universally used as feedback agents for coherent random lasing in polar or nonpolar solutions containing gain material. We show that silver-enhancement of gold nanostars reduces the pumping threshold for coherent random lasing substantially for both a typical dye (R6G) and a typical fluorescent polymer (MEH-PPV). Further, we re...
متن کاملRecombination and Photo-pumping Mechanisms for Producing Gain on Hydrogen-like Balmer Alpha Lines
Two of the most promising classes of schemes for X-ray laser action are the recombination approach, in which population inversions are produced by the decay cascade following electron recombination into high-lying quantum states of a recombining ion, and the photo-pumping approach, in which population inversions are produced by direct pumping of the upper quantum state by photo-excitation from ...
متن کاملGraphene terahertz injection lasers: Concepts and feasibility of realization
The gapless energy spectrum of electrons and holes in single graphene layers (SGLs), graphene bilayers (GBLs), and non-Bernal stacked multiple graphene layers (MGLs) opens up prospects of creating graphene-based terahertz (THz) and infrared (IR) lasers. The interband population inversion in such lasers can be achieved, for instance, by optical pumping [1]. However, the excess energy received by...
