Energy transfer between two laser beams of comparable intensity due to their nonlinear interactions in an atomic vapor was investigated. Strong coupling occurs due to stimulated Rayleigh scattering when the frequencies of the two waves differ by the inverse of the excited-state lifetime. The energy transfer between two nearly equal energy pulses from an alexandrite laser tuned near the 42S 1/2 →42P 3/2 transition of potassium vapor was measured. It was found that as much as 85% of the total incident energy was contained in one of the output beams 相似文献

A demonstration of the first magnetooptic atomic filter that overlays a strong solar Fraunhofer line is reported. Compared with alkali magnetooptic filters, this filter enjoys a large reduction in solar interference and a significant decrease in the number of noise passbands. The filter utilizes the strong Ca(4p 1P 1-4s 1 S 0) transition at 422.7 nm. Under the weak magnetic field experimental conditions, a maximum transmission efficiency of 55% and a symmetrical double-peaked transmission spectrum with 1.5 GHz wide passbands were observed. The filter's frequency response was measured with a laser intensity modulation technique. No falloff was observed at 176 MHz, the highest frequency available with the apparatus. Calculations indicate that further improvements in filter performance can be achieved by optimizing the magnetic field and the cell temperature 相似文献

Evidence is obtained which demonstrates the potential for developing purely chemical visible lasers based on rapid near-resonant energy transfer from metastable excited triplet states of germanium and silicon monoxide (a 3Σ+,b 3Π) to select metal atoms. In this study, the Group IIIA metal atoms were chosen as the energy receptors for the energy transfer-pump sequence. Excited triplet states were generated from the Ge-O3, Ge-N2, Si-N2O, and Si-NO2 reactions; the bulk of the experimental results was obtained with a germanium-based system. The energy stored in the long-lived triplet states is transferred to pump X 2P 1/2 thallium, indium, and gallium atoms to their lowest lying 2 S 1/2 states. The authors observe a system of temporal behavior which suggests the creation of a population inversion producing a gain condition and forming the basis for full cavity oscillation on the Tl 72S 1/2-6P 3/2 transition at 535 nm 相似文献

Generation of continuous anti-Stokes-Raman laser (ASRL) oscillation between the 3d 2P and 4s 2P levels of the argon-ion laser plasma is described. Pump radiation of 648.3 nm (610.3 nm) is up-converted into 437.5-nm radiation with an overall efficiency of more than 20% and an output power of up to 150 mW. Thus far, a detuning of ±9 GHz around the 4p 2S intermediate resonance was achieved. The experiments reported have demonstrated that the gain on a normal laser transition may be strongly increased by population transfer and due to coherent processes. Therefore the ASRL technique in general also demonstrates a possibility to overcome the problem of insufficient mirror reflectivities in the vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) region 相似文献

Energy transfer from selectively formed metastable states of SiO is used to pump sodium-atom laser amplifiers at λ≈569 nm (4d 2D -3p 2P ), λ≈616 nm (5s 2S -3p 2 P ), and λ≈819 nm (3d 2D -3p 2P ). The a 3Σ+ and b 3Π states of SiO are generated in high yield from the Si+N2O→SiO+N2 reaction. The energy stored in the triplet states is transferred in a highly efficient collisional process to pump sodium atoms to their lowest excited 3d 2 D , 4d 2D , and 5s 2S states. Adopting a sequence in which high concentrations of silicon and sodium atoms are mixed and oxidized, a continuous amplification (gain condition) is monitored which suggests the creation of a population inversion among the receptor sodium-atom energy levels and forms the basis for full cavity oscillation on the Na4 d 2D -3p 2P transition at 569 nm 相似文献

A spectroscopic investigation of the biaxial crystal yttrium orthosilicate doped with Nd3+(Nd3+:Y2SiO5) has been performed. Spectrally and orientationally resolved emission cross sections necessary for the evaluation of laser performance on the Nd3+ 4F 3/2-4I 9/2 and 4F 3/2-4I 11/2 transitions have been determined. The Judd-Ofelt theory has been applied to measured values of optical absorption line strengths to obtain the orientation averaged intensity parameters: Ω2-3.34×10-20 cm2, Ω 4=4.35×10-20 cm2, and Ω6=5.60×10-20 cm2. These Judd-Ofelt intensity parameter values are significantly different from those previously reported by A.M. Tkachuk et al. Using these intensity parameters, the Nd3+ 4F 2 metastable state lifetime is predicted to be 225 μs. Measured low Nd concentration 4F 3/2 lifetimes of 214 μs indicate a high radiative quantum efficiency. Because of the Stark level splitting of the Nd3+ 4F 3/2 and 4I 9/2 manifolds, laser operation at twice one of the Cs atomic resonance filter acceptance wavelengths is possible 相似文献

The phase-conjugate signal observed in resonant degenerate four-wave mixing on the 63P 2 to 73 S 1 transition of atomic mercury in a Hg-Ar discharge is investigated. At a fixed argon pressure the variation of the signal with pump powers is explained by a model that includes the effects of velocity-changing collisions (VCCs). As the argon pressure was varied from 0 to 1 torr an increase in the phase conjugate signal was observed and is ascribed to a change in the discharge dynamics with argon pressure and to the influence of VCCs. To further clarify the role of collisions and optical pumping, degenerate four-wave mixing spectra are examined as a function of pump power. Line shapes are briefly discussed 相似文献

The oscillation condition of a simultaneous multiple wavelength laser has been established and used to analyze the possibility of simultaneous oscillation in various neodymium host crystals, such as Nd:YAG, Nd:YLF, Nd:BEL, and Nd:YAP crystals at the transitions from 4F 3/2-4I 13/2 and 4F 3/2-4I 11/2. It is shown that this kind of laser can be realized in all the described crystals in a pulsed state. In general, continuous wave (CW) operation, however, can only be achieved for Nd:YAP. On the basis of these results, CW simultaneous double wavelength lasing has been achieved in a Nd:YAP crystal for the first time at both 1.0795 μm and 1.314 μm 相似文献

A report is presented of the thermal shifts of eleven of the twelve lines from the 4F 3/2 Stark energy levels to the 4I 11/2 energy levels in an Nd:YAG laser for a temperature change from 20-200°C. The thermal shift difference between the Stark sublevels R 1, R 2 in 4F 3/2 is found to be about -0.6±0.6 cm-1/100°C. Within experimental uncertainty, all of the lasing lines either moved to longer wavelength or remained unchanged with increasing temperature 相似文献

A method for the simultaneous measurement of the stimulated emission cross section and fluorescence lifetime by studying the relation between laser parameters and the laser relaxation oscillation frequency is discussed. The stimulated emission cross section for the 4F 3/2-4I 13/2 transition of Nd3+ ion in YAP crystal was measured to be (22±1)×10-20 cm2 相似文献

A generalized model for 3-μm (4I 11/2 →4I 13/2)Er lasers is proposed. The essential energy transfer processes present in the single-doped Er 3+ systems (up-conversion from 4I 13/2, up-conversion from 4 I 11/2, cross-relaxation from 4S 3/2), as well as those present in Cr3+ codoped Er 3+ systems, are taken into account. In the frame of this model, the main features of 3 μm Er3+ lasers, such as long pulse or CW operation, the change of emission wavelength as a function of pumping conditions, and the effects of codoping with Ho3+ or Tm3+ ions, are explained 相似文献

Expressions are obtained for specifying the optimal error probability (minimum P e) thresholds λ01 and λ02 for the traditional and modified sign detectors, respectively. These thresholds are shown to depend on the parameters p , P 1, and M where: M is the number of observations z i used in the test statistic; P 1=P (H 1 ) is the prior probability for hypothesis H 1 that signal s 1 is present and 1-P 1 =P (H 0) corresponds to the hypothesis H 0 that signal s 0 is present; and p =Pr{z i⩾0|H 1} with s 0=0 for the traditional sign detector and p =Pr{z i⩾λ|H 1 }=Pr{z i<λ|H 0} with λ =(s 0+s 1)/2 for the modified sign detector. The expressions for λ01 and λ02, are given explicitly, and shown to be independent of P 1 for sufficiently large M . Optimal P e versus M performance curves, corresponding to both versions of the sign detector, are obtained for a representative range of values for p and P 1 相似文献

A Dy:YLF laser operating on the 6H 11/2 to 6H 13/2 transition at 4.34 μm and using a laser pumping scheme is reported. This pumping scheme is necessitated by the short upper-laser-level lifetime and the small effective stimulated-emission cross section. A suitable laser for this application is the Er:YLF laser operating at 1.73 μm. A simple model that approximates Dy:YLF laser performance well is presented. Results on laser performance, including a determination of the slope efficiency and threshold as a function of the output mirror reflectivity and a correlation of the pulse length with the laser output energy, are reported. Overall laser efficiency is found to be limited primarily by the ratio of the pump wavelength to laser output wavelength and the terminated four-level laser operation 相似文献

The tuning characteristics of the 5I 6 -5I 7 transition in a Ho:YAlO3 laser, intracavity pumped by a 1.079 μm Nd:YalO3 laser, were studied. Operation on seven distinct lines between 2.844 and 3.017 μm was found, and the threshold and relative slope efficiency of each line was measured. Several of these lines were previously unreported 相似文献

On universal hypotheses testing via large deviations 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

A prototype problem in hypotheses testing is discussed. The problem of deciding whether an i.i.d. sequence of random variables has originated from a known source P 1 or an unknown source P 2 is considered. The exponential rate of decrease in type II probability of error under a constraint on the minimal rate of decrease in type I probability of error is chosen for a criterion of optimality. Using large deviations estimates, a decision rule that is based on the relative entropy of the empirical measure with respect to P 1 is proposed. In the case of discrete random variables, this approach yields weaker results than the combinatorial approach used by Hoeffding (1965). However, it enables the analysis to be extended to the general case of R n-valued random variables. Finally, the results are extended to the case where P 1 is an unknown parameter-dependent distribution that is known to belong to a set of distributions (P 01, &thetas;∈Θ) 相似文献

The OMDR (optical-microwave double resonance) spectrum of 87 Rb with the aim of using a frequency-stabilized GaAs semiconductor laser instead of an Rb lamp as a pumping source in a gas-cell-type Rb frequency standard. Natural isotope 87Rb was sealed in a glass cell with buffer gases (Ar/N 2=1.2, total pressure=39 torr). The double resonance signal in the 5P 1/2(F =2)←5S 1/2( F =1) transition appearing at the resonance to the F =2←1 hyperfine transition of the 5S 1/2 state was detected. The optimum operational cell temperature was 56°C. The peak-to-peak frequency width of the atomic hyperfine resonance discriminator used to stabilize the microwave frequency shifts induced by detuning of the laser frequency, changes in the laser and microwave powers, and temperature drift of the cell were investigated 相似文献

Stimulated anti-Stokes Raman scattering at 145.7 nm in inverted Se is generated by photolysis of OCSe at 193 nm and the subsequent up-conversion of 205.1-nm pump radiation. The tuning profile is characterized with OCSe pressure, the energies and relative timing of the pump and photodissociation lasers, and CO and Ar buffer-gas pressure. The use of CO as a buffer gas is discovered to be detrimental to the anti-Stokes output. Sixteen competing stimulated emission channels are found to suppress anti-Stokes emission on exact 4p 4 1S 0-4p 3 5s 3 P 01 pump resonance 相似文献

A model of a packet radio network in which transmitters with range R are distributed according to a two-dimensional Poisson point process with density D is examined. To ensure network connectivity, it is shown that πR 2D , the expected number of nearest neighbors of a transmitter, must grow logarithmically with the area of the network. For an infinite area there exists an infinite connected component with nonzero probability if π R 2D >N 0, for some critical value N 0. It is shown that 2.195<N 0<10.526 相似文献

Laser studies that examined the amplifier characteristics of holmium-doped yttrium lithium fluoride (YLF) at 300 K are discussed. An inversion ratio n 5I 7/n Ho of 0.37 was reached, resulting in a measured small-signal gain coefficient of 0.50 cm-1. In a flashlamp pumping experiment, an output energy of 240 mJ was achieved for 38.5 mJ of input energy, resulting in a large gain of 6.2. An amplifier model developed for diode laser pumping was adapted to consider this flashlamp-pumped case. The agreement between the theory and the experiment is good. Multipass amplifier calculations using the model suggest that the Ho:Tm:YLF laser crystal can support a 12% electrical to optical efficiency at 300 K, even in the presence of upconversion 相似文献

An observation is reported of a large number of new laser lines from 12CD3F gas optically pumped with a continuously tunable high-pressure pulsed CO2 laser. Making use of the coincidence of the 10 μm P and R branches of CO2 with the v 3 and v 6 vibrational-rotational absorption bands of 12CD3F, 180 laser lines were found in the wavenumber range between 8 and 55 cm-1, all of them yet unknown; these lines are studied for characteristic properties of laser action. All laser lines are assigned as pure rotational transitions in the vibrational excited or ground states 相似文献
