THE INFLUENCE OF DIFFERENT PROFILE OF X-RAY PUMING SPECTRUM ON POPULATION INVERSION

Abstract

In this paper We use the rate equations for hydrogenlike ions to calculate population inversion for optically thin materials. The influence of different profile of x-ray pumping spectrum on population inversion is estimated

INVESTIGATION OF POPULATION INVERSIONS BY AVERAGE ATOM MODEL

Heng Peng

In this paper, the rate equetions of average atom model and hydrogen-like ions are discussed. At very high ionization they are equivalent. The emphasis is put on the investigation of using average atom model to calculate population inversions. Stripping the inner electrons with X-ray and recombining them to outer shell by three-body recombination, we can obtain the population inversions. Some conditions and results are given.

LASING WITH AND WITHOUT POPULATION INVERSION IN A QUANTUM DOT NANOSTRUCTURE VIA AN INCOHERENT PUMPING FIELD

Seyyed Hossein Asadpour, Elnaz Ahmadi Sangachin

The effect of incoherent pumping field on absorption spectrum and population inversion in a four-level quantum dot nanostructure are investigated. It is found that with incoherent pumping field the probe field absorption can be converted to probe field gain. Also, it is found that with combine effect of incoherent pumping field and electron tunneling the lasing can be obtained in the absence or presence of population inversion.

THE POPULATION INVERSION CONDITION OF A SATURABLE ABSORBER Q SWITCH

Da Peng Gao

In this paper we start from the rate equations describing a Q switched laser system with a saturable absorber and finally deduce the condition of this kind of Q switching which should be satisfied by the laser crystal population inversion. We also give a discussion and analyse it. Using this condition, some experiment phenomena can be successfully explained.

Optical Amplification

POPULATION RATE EQUATIONS From the discussion in the preceding chapter, it is clear that population inversion is the basic condition for an optical gain. For any system in its normal state in thermal equilibrium, a low-energy level is always more populated than a high-energy level, hence there is no population inversion. Population inversion in a system can only be accomplished through a process called pumping by actively exciting the atoms in a low-energy level to a high-energy level. If left alone, the atoms in a system relax to thermal equilibrium. Therefore, population inversion is a nonequilibrium state that cannot be sustained without active pumping. To keep a constant optical gain, continuous pumping is required to maintain population inversion. This condition is clearly consistent with the law of conservation of energy: amplification of an optical wave leads to an increase in optical energy, which is possible only if the required energy is supplied by a source. Pumping is the process that supplies energy to the gain medium for the amplification of an optical wave. There are many different pumping techniques, including optical excitation, electric current injection, electric discharge, chemical reaction, and excitation with particle beams. The use of a specific pumping technique depends on the properties of the gain medium being pumped. The lasers and optical amplifiers of particular interest in photonic systems are made of either dielectric solid-state media doped with active ions, such as Nd:YAG and Er:glass fiber, or direct-gap semiconductors, such as GaAs and InP. For a dielectric gain medium, the most commonly used pumping technique is optical pumping using either an incoherent light source, such as a flashlamp or a light-emitting diode, or a coherent light source from another laser. A semiconductor gain medium can also be optically pumped, but it is usually pumped by electric current injection. In this section, we consider the general conditions for pumping to achieve population inversion. Detailed pumping mechanisms and physical setups are not addressed here because they depend on the specific gain medium used in a particular application. The net rate of increase of the population density in a given energy level is described by a rate equation. As we shall see below, pumping for population inversion in any practical gain medium always requires the participation of more than two energy levels.
