Spectral dynamics of multi-mode dye lasers and single-atom absorption

Multi-mode lasers have evaded satisfactory modelling for their seeming complexity. However, they may serve as sensitive detectors of intracavity spectral absorption [1]. This sensitivity is limited by nonlinear coupling of the laser modes effected by stimulated light scattering of Brillouin (SBS) or thermal Rayleigh (STRS) type [2], or via periodic saturation (“population pulsations”, PP), in the gain medium.

Laser-induced absorption line narrowing for ions in crystals: Application to the hyperfine structure of the 6011-Å Pr3+ : LaCl3 line

Christian Delsart, Nicole Pelletier-Allard, R. Pelletier

We report on the observation of absorption line narrowing in a crystal. A saturating cw single-mode dye laser leads to hole burning over a homogeneous width according to the site selection, while a second tunable cw single-mode dye laser probes the perturbed profile. Two-level and three-level resonances corresponding to the Pr3+ : LaCl3 6011-Å line hyperfine structure are obtained with very high spectral resolution (σ/Δσ≃6×107).
