Dynamics of random laser and coherent backscattering of light from ZnO amplifying random medium

T. Sun, Zhiren Qiu, Huimin Su +4 more

We investigated the dynamics of coherent backscattering cone and random laser in a disordered gain medium of ZnO powder. Theoretical fit to the coherent backscattering cone yields a transport mean free path l approximately equal to the probe wavelength λ, indicating that the scattering process is in the strong scattering regime. Supernarrow emissions from the laser are accompanied by enhancement and sharpening of the coherent backscattering cone. This enhanced and sharpened backscattering cone returns to a normal profile within 10–20ps, indicating an ultrafast gain lifetime in the medium, which is in good agreement with the time-resolved measurement of the random laser emissions.

Dynamics of stimulated emission and coherent backscattering of light from amplifying random medium

Kam Sing Wong, Tong Sun, George K. Wong

We investigated random scattering of light in a disorder gain medium of ZnO powder using the pump-probe technique. Using a probe beam at (lambda) =390nm, the width ((theta) ) of the coherent backscattering peak from the ZnO powder is measured to be ~7.5 degree(s), thus the coherent scattering length l is approximately 1.2(lambda) ((theta) =(lambda) /2(pi) l) which is close to the strong scattering regime. When a pump beam ((lambda) =267nm) exceeds a certain excitation threshold, supernarrow emission peaks (bandwidth less than 1nm) emerged from the ZnO broad photoluminescence background. Concurrently, we also observed enhancement and sharpening of the coherent backscattering cone. Since light from the center of the backscatter cone experience the largest number of scatterings (i.e. longest gain length), this result is thus consistent with the random laser model that the supernarrow peak is due to amplification and stimulated emission of photon in the random gain medium. The time-resolved pump-probe measurement shows that the lifetime of the emission state above the lasing threshold is only a few picoseconds which is consistent with the interpretation that the supernarrow peaks are due to stimulated emission.
