Lasing in random media

A random laser is a non-conventional laser whose feedback mechanism is based on disorder-induced light scattering. Depending on whether the feedback supplied by scattering is intensity feedback or amplitude feedback, random lasers are classified into two categories: random lasers with incoherent feedback and random lasers with coherent feedback. A brief survey of random lasers with incoherent feedback is presented. It is followed by a review of our recent experimental work on random lasers with coherent feedback, including measurement of the lasing threshold, lasing spectra, emission pattern, dynamical response, photon statistics, speckle pattern and the investigation of relevant length scales. Large disorder leads to spatial confinement of the lasing modes, that is the foundation for the micro random laser. Some theoretical models of random lasers with coherent feedback are briefly introduced. The study of random lasers improves our understanding of the interplay between light localization and coherent amplification.

Lasing from GaAs Gunn devices

Lasing from a GaAs Gunn device with a Fabry–Perot (F–P) cavity and a vertical-cavity structures are demonstrated. Light output-electric field characteristic of both F–P and vertical cavity structure Gunn device shows abrupt increase in light output above a negative differential resistance (NDR) threshold, implying cavity gain overcoming over loss. Electroluminescence (EL) spectra from the F–P Gunn device measured at 95 K show a significant spectral narrowing with increasing the applied voltage pulse width, indicative of monochromatic stimulated emission due to band-to-band recombination of impact-ionized carriers. The spectra from the vertical-cavity device are in accord with the cavity resonance as defined by the distributed Bragg reflectances (DBRs). The theoretical model on carrier generation via impact ionization inside the propagating space charge domains shows clearly that the built-up excess carrier density in the cavity indeed reaches the lasing threshold.     

光纤回音壁模式的三波段激光辐射研究

Lasing conditions in recombining helium plasmas

Lasing conditions for He have been evaluated numerically. We have used a collisional radiative model to calculate overpopulation densities Δn_ij, which are defined as differences between population densities per unit statistical weight of the upper and lower excited levels i and j, respectively. Laser oscillations for the level pairs 2¹P-3¹S, 2¹P-4¹S, 2¹P-3¹D, 2¹P-4¹D, 3¹D-4¹F, 3¹P-4¹S, 3¹P-4¹D, and 3³P-4³S are possible when the electron densities are within well defined limits at low electron temperature (T_e = 0.1 eV). For level pairs of the singlet state, the inversion mechanism for He is the same as for H. Only collisional processes produce population inversion in the triplet level pair 3³P-4³S.     

Lasing without population inversion in molecules

We have described here the physical basis for lasing without population inversion (LWOPI). This type of amplification is obtained basically by two mechanisms: (i) one is based on atomic interference and (ii) the other is based on Fano-type interference. We have shown here, in H₂ molecules, amplification without population inversion is feasible by considering both the mechanisms.     

Lasing in liquid crystal thin films

A lasing condition is formulated in matrix form for optically anisotropic thin films. Lasing behavior of liquid-crystal slabs is analyzed. In particular, it is shown that if the spatial extent of a liquid crystal slab is much larger than its thickness, then laser emission is feasible not only along the normal to the slab, but also in the entire angular sector. The generated laser light can be observed experimentally as a spot or as concentric rings on a screen. The lowest lasing threshold corresponds to in-plane sliding modes leaking into the substrate. The feedback required for lasing is provided by reflection from the interfaces, rather than edges, of the liquid-crystal slab operating as a planar Fabry-Perot cavity. For cholesteric liquid crystals, it is shown that energy loss to the sliding modes leaking into the substrates and escaping through their edges is a key factor that limits the efficiency of band-edge emission along the normal to the slab.
