Wavelength multistability in lasers

چکیده
We theoretically discuss the impact of the cavity configuration on the possible longitudinal mode multistability in homogeneously broadened lasers. We present a general method allowing to perform a direct bifurcation diagram and to determine the stability of the solutions of a Travelling wave model. We find, in agreement with recent experimental reports, that multistability is more easily reached in Ring than in Fabry-Pérot cavities which we attribute to the different amount of Spatial-Hole Burning in each configuration. Laser Theory, Travelling Wave Model, Ring Lasers.

Wavelength Selectable Solid-State Raman lasers in the Visible and Ultraviolet Ranges
Solid-state Raman lasers are known as important sources at normally difficult to access wavelengths, and our recent studies have shown that they also form the basis of a class of wavelength selectable lasers. This paper summarizes our recent studies in wavelength selectable Raman lasers in the visible (532-650 nm) and ultraviolet (266-321 nm).
متن کاملLongitudinal mode multistability in Ring and Fabry-Pérot lasers: the effect of spatial hole burning.
We theoretically discuss the impact of the cavity configuration on the possible longitudinal mode multistability in homogeneously broadened lasers. Our analysis is based on the most general form of a Travelling-Wave Model for which we present a method that allows us to evaluate the monochromatic solutions as well as their eigenvalue spectrum. We find, in agreement with recent experimental repor...
متن کاملSelf-synchronization of laser modes and multistability in quantum cascade lasers.
We predict and confirm experimentally the regime of complete synchronization between lateral modes in a quantum cascade laser, when frequency combs belonging to different lateral modes merge into a single comb. The synchronization occurs through the transition from multistability to a single stable state and is accompanied by phase locking and beam steering effects.
متن کاملDelay-induced Multistability in a Generic Model for Excitable Dynamics
Motivated by real-world excitable systems such as neuron models and lasers, we consider a paradigmatic model for excitability with a global bifurcation, namely a saddle-node bifurcation on a limit cycle. We study the effect of a time-delayed feedback force in the form of the difference between a system variable at a certain time and at a delayed time. In the absence of delay the only attractor ...
متن کاملDesign of the [SiO2/ZrO2] photonic crystal filter for application in 350-nm laser safety glasses
In this paper, a one-dimensional photonic crystal filter based on the [SiO2/ZrO2] bilayer have been designed for application in safety glasses for working in 350-nm wavelength. High power lasers with low wavelength e.g. 350-nm have very high power which can cause serious damage to the operator’s eyes. In this paper using the transfer matrix method and theoretical calculation in MATLAB software ...
