2 00 4 Atomic gallium laser spectroscopy with violet / blue diode lasers
نویسنده
چکیده
We describe the operation of two GaN-based diode lasers for the laser spectroscopy of gallium at 403 nm and 417 nm. Their use in an external cavity configuration enabled the investigation of absorption spectroscopy in a gallium hollow cathode. We have analyzed the Doppler broadened profiles accounting for hyperfine and isotope structure and extracting both the temperature and densities of the neutral atomic sample produced in the glow discharge. We have also built a setup to produce a thermal atomic beam of gallium. Using the GaN-based diode lasers we have studied the laser induced fluorescence and hyperfine resolved spectra of gallium.

The Laser Diode as a Light Source for Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy
Introduction The development of laser diodes has increased the variety of practical applications for lasers as light sources in analytical spectroscopy. Lasers are excellent radiation sources due to their monochromaticity, good beam focusing capabilities, and small line-widths but have traditionally been expensive and difficult to operate, limiting their applications to specialized fields. Beca...
متن کاملBlue Diode and Red He-Ne Lasers Affect the Growth of Anthocyanin Producing Suspension Cells of Apple
Light is an effective factor in cell suspension culture and must be controlled for optimizing cell growth. Growth of anthocyanin producing suspension cells of a red-fleshed genotype of apple (RFA) was assessed in response to blue diode laser (BDL) and red He Ne (RHNL) laser. The suspension cells in L-shaped test tubes were exposed to short-term laser radiation for 20 min in a rotary shaker. The...

We report the first efficient trapping of rare-earth Yb atoms with a high-power violet laser diode (LD). An injection-locked violet LD with a 25 mW frequency-stabilized output was used for the magneto-optical trapping (MOT) of fermionic as well as bosonic Yb isotopes. A typical number of 4 × 10 atoms for Yb with a trap density of ∼ 1 × 10/cm was obtained. A 10 mW violet external-cavity LD (ECLD...

We demonstrate a novel compact solid-state laser source for high-resolution two-photon spectroscopy of the 1S − 2S transition in atomic hydrogen. The source emits up to 20 mW at 243 nm and consists of a 972 nm diode laser, a tapered amplifier, and two doubling stages. The diode laser is actively stabilized to a high-finesse cavity. We compare the new source to the stable 486 nm dye laser used i...
متن کاملAnalysis of violet-excited fluorochromes by flow cytometry using a violet laser diode.
BACKGROUND Low power violet laser diodes (VLDs) have been evaluated as potential replacements for water-cooled argon-ion and krypton-ion ultraviolet and violet lasers for DNA content analysis using the Hoechst dyes and 4,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (Shapiro HMN, Perlmutter NG: Cytometry 44:133-136, 2001). In this study, we used a VLD to excite a variety of violet-excited fluorescent molecules im...
