Abstract

A population inversion for the 00°1 → 10°0 (10.6 μ) transition in CO2 has been created by resonant collisional transfer of excitation from thermally excited N2.

In this paper We use the rate equations for hydrogenlike ions to calculate population inversion for optically thin materials. The influence of different profile of x-ray pumping spectrum on population inversion is estimated

THE POPULATION INVERSION CONDITION OF A SATURABLE ABSORBER Q SWITCH

Da Peng Gao

In this paper we start from the rate equations describing a Q switched laser system with a saturable absorber and finally deduce the condition of this kind of Q switching which should be satisfied by the laser crystal population inversion. We also give a discussion and analyse it. Using this condition, some experiment phenomena can be successfully explained.
