On the possibility of laser generation without inversion on the fine-structure levels of a helium atom

A. G. Petrashen, N. V. Sytenko

It is shown that laser generation is possible in principle upon coherent excitation according to the V-scheme of the (1s2p)3 P j levels with j = 1, 2 of a helium atom from the (1s2s)3 S 1 level of the same atom when the latter level is, in turn, populated by electron or proton impact.

Stimulated radiative recombination has been demonstrated experimentally in and collisions using a merged electron - ion beams apparatus with field ionization detection of the excited neutral products. Enhancement of the recombination over spontaneous recombination to form the n=11, 12 and 13 levels of atomic hydrogen and the n = 11 and 12 levels of atomic helium by factors of between 1000 and 3000 have been found using a laser power of 8 W. Evidence for the resolution of fine-structure levels has been seen for the case of helium.

Temperature dependence of Rb 5P fine-structure transfer induced by He4 collisions

M. A. Gearba, J. F. Sell, Brian M. Patterson +3 more

Employing ultrafast laser excitation and time-correlated single-photon counting, we have measured the fine-structure transfer between Rb 5P states induced by collisions with 4He buffer gas at temperatures up to 150 °C. The temperature dependence of the binary cross section agrees with earlier measurements. Our data show that the temperature dependence of the three-body rate is about the same as that of the binary rate. The three-body rate can be described as arising from the reduction of the rubidium fine-structure splitting due to nearby helium atoms.

Аналитическое решение задачи о переносе немонохроматического направленного излучения в резонансно поглощающей среде

В.М. Ямщиков

In this work, a stationary problem analytical solution of the non-monochromatic directional radiation transfer through a medium filled with alkali metal atoms and a buffer gas is obtained. The three-level atom approximation was used to describe the level population kinetics. The processes of absorption and stimulated emission of photons, collisional mixing of the levels of the alkali metal atom fine structure, and spontaneous transitions were taken into account. The absorption of spontaneous radiation by the medium was not taken into account. Using the example of a medium consisting of potassium vapor and a helium buffer gas, the analytical and numerical solutions are compared.
