Laser Line Competition in Optically Pumped D2O THz Laser

Based on the theory of semi-classical density matrix and a model of double three-energy-level (DTEL) system for laser line competition in optically pumped D₂O super-radiant terahertz laser (THz Laser), the mathematical expressions of gain coefficients for pumping signal and THz laser signal are deduced, and the competition between 66?μm and 116?μm laser lines is calculated numerically by means of iteration method. The effects of the operation conditions (including pump power, working gas pressure and the length of cavity) on the competition are analyzed. It is found that 66?μm emission dominated the competition; with the increase of working gas pressure (or the cavity length), the spectrum of 66?μm emission experiences changes from discrete double-peak structure to overlapped double-peak structure and finally to a wide-band structure, and the optimum gas pressure varied conversely with the optimum length of the TH_Z laser cavity.

High Efficient, Intense and Compact Pulsed D2O Terahertz Laser Pumped With a TEA CO2 Laser

A high efficient, intense and compact pulsed D₂O terahertz laser is presented, which is pumped by a multi-transverse mode TEA CO₂ laser. For D₂O gas as the active medium, with the cavity length of 120 cm, pulse energy of the THz laser has been investigated as the variation of pump energy and gas pressure. When the pump energy was 1.41 J, the maximum single pulse energy of 6.2 mJ was achieved at the wavelength of 385 μm. Photon conversion efficiency as high as 36.5% was obtained when laser operated at the maximum output energy. As the pump energy was raised from 0.57 to 1.41 J, the optimum pressure was slightly changed from 400 to 700 Pa. The THz pulse consisted of a spike pulse with pulse width of 120 ns and a tail pulse with pulse width of about 170 ns. The peak power of the spike pulse is about 44.3 kW. Comparing with the occurring time and pulse width of pump pulse, 70 ns delay and 10ns broadening were observed in the THz spike pulse.
