Short-wavelength far-infrared laser cavity yielding new lines in methanol.

چکیده
We report 16 new laser lines generated in a short-wavelength far-infrared Fabry-Perot laser cavity. The CO(2) pump laser is coupled into the far-infrared laser outside the far-infrared laser mode, and the cavity uses a 45 degrees adjustable output coupling mirror; this combination results in a low-loss Fabry-Perot cavity for wavelengths below 150 microm. The new lines are of medium and strong intensity and have wavelengths in the region 26.2-125.7 microm.

Short-wavelength far-infrared laser cavity yielding new laser emissions in CD3OH
A significantly improved far-infrared laser has been used to generate optically pumped laser emissions from 26 to 150μm for CD3OH. Using an X–V-pumping geometry, several new laser emissions have been found for CD3OH. In addition, an increase in power, by factors from 10 to 1000, for many of the previously known shorter-wavelength laser lines, below 100μm, has been observed. Frequency measuremen...
متن کاملComposite Cavity Fiber Laser with Asymmetric Output Intensity and Wavelength
The composite cavity fiber laser (CCFL) is relatively simple in its fabrication, as it is essentially three wavelength matched Bragg gratings in a section of doped fiber. By using internal feedback with unequal sub-cavity lengths, unidirectional CCFLs with significantly asymmetric output power from its two outputs can be achieved. Preliminary results also show that it is possible for the lasing...
متن کاملFrequencies of Optically Pumped Sub-Doppler Far-Infrared Laser Lines of Methanol.
Sub-Doppler signals from the gain curves of four lines of a transversely pumped far-infrared methanol laser were used to stabilize the frequencies of the laser. The frequencies of four of the strongest FIR laser lines (70, 119, 123, and 570 µm) were measured. Lasers locked to these lines have a frequency reproducibility of a few parts in 10(8) and an uncertainty of less than 30 kHz. Copyright 1...
متن کاملMultilayer silicon cavity mirrors for the far-infrared p-Ge laser.
Multilayer mirrors capable of > 99.9% reflectivity in the far infrared (70-200 microm wavelengths) were constructed using thin silicon etalons separated by empty gaps. Calculations indicate that only three periods are required to produce 99.9% reflectivity because of the large difference between the index of refraction of silicon (3.384) and the vacuum (1). The mirror was assembled from high-pu...
