On the theory of frequency chirped pulse coherent amplification in inhomogeneously broadened gain medium

É. M. Belenov, Peter G. Kryukov, A. Nazarkin

Frequency chirped pulse interaction with inhomogeneously broadened two-level active medium when the pulse width is shorter than the homogeneous relaxation time T2 (coherent interaction) is studied theoretically. It is shown that, unlike the case of incoherent interaction when only half an energy stored can be converted into field, in the nonlinear coherent regime full extraction of active medium energy is possible. The analogy of the effect with Landau–Zener transition between crossing molecular curves is pointed out. Giving high-energy output at relatively low peak intensities, this nonlinear mechanism of energy extraction can be useful for excimer lasers.

Low coherence laser pulse amplification theory for rare earth ions doped glass medium

Fujian Li, Dong Liu, Lailin Ji +5 more

A new theory for the low coherence laser amplification in rare ions doped glass has been proposed. Based on one-dimensional continuous energy level assumption and independent response assumption, the theory can describe the amplification of low coherence laser pulses with any time scale and any bandwidth. By the new theory, McCumber formula can be obtained, and a complete low coherence optical pulse amplification model in neodymium glass is established. Computation shows that at high fluences, inhomogeneous broadening will severely limit energy extraction of narrowband high coherence laser, therefore the extraction of broadband low coherence laser will exceed that of narrowband high coherence laser. In addition, the portion of long-wave of the output spectrum is slightly larger than that predicted by the homogeneous model. The new theory could be beneficial for the studies of low coherence pulse amplification in rare earth doped medium and other laser mediums.
