Abstract

An experimental investigation was made of defocusing of superradiance in overheated channels formed in a rhodamine 6G solution under the action of pump radiation. The advantages of defocusing, including the feasibility of operation under saturation conditions, the long length of active medium, the highly directional coupling out of the energy, and the single-mode radiation are discussed with reference to thin-layer lasers.

Characteristics of stimulated emission from a rhodamine 6G solution under internal reflection conditions

S A Lebedev, V. A. Kizel, Boris Ya. Kogan

Temperature dependences of the direction of emission of superradiance and of the wavelength of stimulated emission were determined for a solution of rhodamine 6G in an internal reflection configuration. The results obtained were in good agreement with calculations. Some energy, spectral, and angular characteristics of the stimulated radiation were determined. It was also found that dye-activated polymer films could be used as the active media.

The results are given of analytic and numerical investigations of the amplification of laser radiation under conditions of strong saturation of resonant transitions induced by optical pumping. Wave-like solutions of propagation of light pulses in a three-level medium are found. Characteristic dependences of the radiation conversion length on the parameters of the radiation and medium are determined.

The integral transport equation is used to calculate the formation of amplified spontaneous radiation by single-pass lasing under saturation conditions. Analytic relationships are derived to describe the dependence of the output radiation characteristics on the parameters of the active medium in the steady-state case. The numerical calculations are made for a cylindrical lasing zone.

Generation of stimulated radiation in a dye solution on reflection from a nonlinear self-induced mirror

Anatolii N Rubinov, Terlan Sh. Efendiev

A report is made of the formation of a phase reflection grating in a solution of a laser dye induced by the radiation emitted by the dye itself (the grating acts as a nonlinear reflector). The results are given of some investigations of the characteristics of the stimulated emission from a solution of rhodamine 6G in a resonator with an exit mirror in the form of a self-induced phase grating.

Higher-order distributed feedback and generation of light

Pavel A Apanasevich, Anatolii A Afanas'ev, M. V. Korolkov

An investigation is made of a higher-order distributed feedback which appears in a medium characterized by nonharmonic modulation of the parameters due to different radiation diffraction processes. The averaging method is used to obtain reduced equations for the amplitudes of opposite waves and expressions for the gain (absorption coefficient) as well as for the coupling between the waves, subject to all the gratings induced in a medium. Competition between the contributions of various diffraction processes to distributed feedback of arbitrary order is studied. An analysis is made of the coupling coefficient of waves in a dye solution laser with a second-order distributed feedback due to gratings formed by the populations of levels participating in a resonance transition and also thermal gratings induced in the active medium because of saturation of spatially inhomogeneous pumping. A calculation is made of the parameters of the medium for which the competition between the various diffraction processes makes the greatest contribution to a higher-order distributed feedback
