Lasers without inversion: Single-atom transient response

Stephen E. Harris, John J Macklin

Published Oct 1, 1989• 127 citations

Abstract

We discuss the effect of the transient response on the dynamics of lifetime broadened lasers that operate without the need for population inversion. A relationship between the steady-state absorptive transition probability rate and the transient gain and loss is given.

Lasers without inversion: A closed lifetime broadened system

A. Imamolu, J. E. Field, Stephen E. Harris

We show a model laser system which operates by an electromagnetically induced interference. Provided that an inversion condition for the thermal radiation field is satisfied, the system lases without atomic population inversion in steady state. The system is pumped by incoherent radiation on the transition on which lasing occurs.

Gain without inversion in four level atoms using pulsed lasers

Steve R. Wilkinson, Arlie V. Smith

We present results of a numerical calculation of gain without inversion in the transient regime. We show that atomic coherence and gain without population inversion can be induced on time scales short compared to atomic radiative lifetimes. We also describe the process in terms of transient dressed states.

Nonlinear Absorption-Gain Response and Population Dynamics in a Laser-Driven Four-Level Dense Atomic System

Jiahua Li, Ji-Bing Liu, Luo Jin-Ming +1 more

We theoretically investigate the response of nonlinear absorption and population dynamics in optically dense media of four-level atoms driven by a single-mode probe laser, via taking the density-dependent near dipole-dipole (NDD) interactions into consideration. The influence of the NDD effects on the absorption of the probe field and population dynamics is predicted via numerical calculations. It is shown that the NDD effects can reduce gradually to transient absorption with the increase of the strengths of the NDD interactions, and transient amplification can be achieved. In the steady-state limit, the probe field exhibits transparency for strong NDD interactions. Alternatively, the population entirely remains at the ground state due to the NDD effects.

Time-dependent dressed-states analysis of lasing without population inversion in a three-level ladder scheme

Doron Braunstein, R. Shuker

A dressed-state study of lasing without population inversion from a three-level atom interacting with a bichromatic laser field in the ladder configuration is being formulated. The system is allowed to be dressed by both laser-field photons (double dressing). The temporal behavior of the system under consideration is being explored numerically. Although the use of dressed-basis density matrix equations introduces major complexity into the equations, this procedure has crucial importance to the understanding of the atomic spectrum and the underlying physics of the processes involved. The system is found to possess a gain without population inversion, as well as a regular gain with inversion for various transitions, both in the transient and steady-state regimes. Enhancement of the refractive index accompanied by vanishingly small absorption was also found. The frequency response of various transitions is explored via numerical Fourier analysis. Some transitions are found to exhibit a dispersion-like line shape, clear evidence of a quantum-coherent interference effect. The spectrum consists of two distinct quintets centered about the coupling and probe-laser frequencies. The spectral features consisting of each quintet are located symmetrically (at resonance conditions only) around the line center at positions shifted from the center by the generalized Rabi and double Rabi frequencies.

The steady state of a pumped and damped atom laser

J. J. Hope, G. M. Moy, Craig M. Savage

This paper has been withdrawn, as further work has shown that an atom laser as described by the model herein does not have a steady state, so it doesn't matter much what it would look like.

Population Inversion, Saturation, and Laser Systems

Surendra Singh

This chapter begins with a heuristic derivation of atomic population rate equations which include changes to level populations due to stimulated transitions as well as level relaxations and pump. These equations are used to study the saturation of population inversion with increasing light intensity and its dependence on the type of gain medium (three-level gain media vs. four-level gain media), lineshape and nature of line broadening (homogeneous vs inhomogeneous broadening). How saturation affects lineshape and thus gain and absorption giving rise to phenomena like power broadening and spectral hole burning is also discussed. The chapter summarizes the equations of motion for atomic polarization, inversion and the cavity field describing their nonlinear dynamical coupling. These equations, known as the Maxwell-Bloch equations, provide a complete description of atom-field interaction in a laser. Approximations of these equations, including the rate equation approximation, to deal with different laser classes are briefly described. These will be used in the next few chapters to explore and understand the rich and varied behavior of lasers. The chapter ends with a summary of select gain media for different types of commonly used lasers.
