Abstract

Experimental data concerning superradiant emission from the LaF 3 medium doped with impurity praseodymium ions are presented in the cases of a free medium and when the medium is placed into an optical resonator. The spike structure of superradiance is registered and studied. When the medium is placed inside a cavity, a new channel of energy removal by superradiance related to the cavity mode appears; the old noncavity channels are preserved. The duration of superradiance in the cavity channel is decreased, and regular modulation arises. These peculiarities of superradiance induced by the presence of an optical resonator are explained.

Experimental data and theoretical model concerning superradiant emission from the LaF3 medium doped with impurity praseodymium ions are presented in cases of free medium and when the medium is placed into resonator. The spiky structure of superradiance is registered and studied. When the medium is placed inside a cavity, a new channel of energy removal by superradiance related to the cavity mode appears; the old noncavity channels are preserved. The duration of superradiance in each channel is decreased and the modulation arises. These peculiarities of superradiance induced by the presence of resonator are explained on the basis of the developed mean-field theory.

Temporal structure of superradiance of praseodymium ions in the LaF 3 matrix: theory and experiment

Ashat M. Basharov, G. G. Grigoryan, Yu. V. Orlov +3 more

Experimental data and theoretical model describing stochastic pulsations within oscillatory mode of superradiant emission from the LaF3 medium doped with impurity praseodymium ions are presented. The model deals with three-level system with close upper levels and reflects our experimental data on fluorescence of praseodymium ions. The mean-field approximation is used to develop the superradiance theory. In determined case basic equations of the developed model are reduced to well known Lorenz equations of deterministic chaotic dynamics.

Dynamics of superradiant media in a resonator

Askhat M Basharov, Grigorii G Grigoryan, Nikolay V Znamenskiy +3 more

Experimental results and a theoretical model describing superradiance of praseodymium ions in the trifluoro lanthanum matrix at the 3 P 0 — 3 H 6 transition upon coherent excitation of the adjacent 3 H 4 — 3 P 0 transition are presented. It is found that when a superradiant medium is placed into a resonator, whose eigenfrequency is close to the superradiant transition ( 3 P 0 — 3 H 6 ) frequency, the superradiant pulse duration decreases and its modulation appears, which is independent of the resonator length. It is shown that these properties are qualitatively described within the framework of the mean-field model of coherent radiation of superradiant media in a resonator.

Peculiarities of two-color optical superradiance in the LaF 3 :Pr 3+ crystal

Alexei A. Kalachev, Самарцев Виталий Владимирович

We report the results of detailed investigation of optical superradiance (SR) in LaF3:Pr3+ crystal resonantly excited on the 3P0-3H4(0) transition by laser pulse. When the power of the pumping pulse was higher than a certain threshold, the resonant medium emitted by optical SR pulse on 3P0-3H4(0) transition in the direction of the pumping pulse (as well as in the opposite direction) delayed in time with respect to the pumping pulse. Further increasing of the peak power of the pumping pulse led to the observation of SR on the 3P0-3H6(1) transition also. Thus, the two-color SR in the employed crystal was observed.

The features of coherent stimulated emission of Pr3+doped into LaF 3 matrix

G. G. Grigoryan, Yu. V. Orlov, Evgenii A Petrenko +2 more

The paper presents the experimental results on temporal characteristics of coherent stimulated emission on the 3PO-3H6 transition of Pr3+ doped into the LaF3 matrix while turning the pumping frequency in the vicinity of 3H4-3PO transition. The stimulated emission was generated in the modes both with and without an external resonator. It was found that the emission duration could be up to 2 μs and consisted of train of spikes. Simultaneously the fluorescence emission was observed on the 3PO-3H4, 3H5j, 3H6, 3F2 transitions Pr3+, which also had a complicated temporal form.

Phase memory under the development of optical instability

Ashat M. Basharov, Nikolay V Znamenskiy

Regularities of the optical coherence transformation in three-level systems, resulting from instability development and superradiance, are considered. It is shown that the superradiance eliminates optical coherence on the adjacent optically allowed transitions and induces optical coherence on the optically forbidden transition. This, in turn, makes it possible to observe new effects of photon-echo type. In such a way the known cases of supperradiant emission from the LaF3:Pr3+ medium admit the described phase memory effect.
