Rate Equation Simulation of a Synchronously Pumped Dye Laser
نویسندگان
چکیده
A simple rate equation model of a standing wave synchronously pumped dye laser yields output pulses which agree qualitatively and quantitatively with recent experimental observations. The shape, amplitude and temporal position of the simulated pulse varies dramatically, not only with cavity length detuning, but also with the gain to loss ratio. Features of pulse formation and stability are predicted which are precluded by the steady-state assumption present in most other models.

Stable operation of a synchronously pumped colliding-pulse mode-locked ring dye laser.
Pulses of 100-fsec duration are obtained by synchronous pumping of a colliding-pulse ring dye laser with a mode-locked Ar(+)-ion laser. Stable operation of the synchronously pumped colliding-pulse mode-locked laser over hours was obtained by a suitable choice of the distance between the gain and the absorber in combination with an appropriate pump-pulse sequence.
متن کاملHigh intensity picosecond Fourier limited pulses : design of a synchronously pumped dye laser system
2014 We present a simple design for obtaining high-intensity, Fourier limited picosecond pulses. A Nd : Yag picosecond laser is used to synchronously pump a dye oscillator/amplifier system. The dye oscillator is of the Littman type. Up to 1.5 mJ of energy is obtained in a 20 ps pulse with a bandwidth of 30 GHz after amplification. Revue Phys. Appl. 20 (1985) 527-530 JUILLET 1985, 1
متن کاملPulse Structure Studies and Absolute Cavity Length Determination for a Synchronously Pumped Picosecond Dye Laser
Second harmonic cross correlation functions of a pulse with its near neighbor have been studied in a synchronously pumped cw dye laser. Measurements were made both as a function of dye laser cavity length mismatch and the number of cavity round trips separating the correlated pulses. The pulse envelope is found to have a characteristic interpulse frequency determined by the pump laser, whereas ...
متن کاملReciprocal passive mode locking of a rhodamine 6G dye laser and the Ar(+) pump laser.
A rhodamine 6G dye laser, internally pumped within the extended cavity of an Ar(+)-ion laser, is mode locked when its cavity length is matched to half that of the pump laser: the 5145-A argon laser line is passively mode locked by the combination of the saturable absorption and the lasing action of the dye, which is in turn synchronously pumped and mode locked. Tunable (5650-5950-A) ~10 psec pu...
