Transverse Effect of Field in an Open V-type Inversionless Lasing System
Fan Xi
Abstract
The transverse effect of the fields was studied by densitymatrix equations of motion in an open Vtype system and Hurwitz criteria.The result shows that comparing with the case in the plane wave approximation,the transverse profile of the field leads to an obvious variation of the fashion that the system obtains inversionless lasing through instability of nonlasing solution,and makes the system more easy to obtain inversionless lasing through instability of pitchfork bifurcation;the value of the ratio of the active medium transverse section to the beam waist has a determinant effect on size of the instability region in which inversionless lasing arises,and the Raman inversion region increases with increasing of value of the ratio;the effects of unsaturated gain,loss of laser cavity,the ratio of atomic injection rates and atomic exit rate varying on the instability region in which inversionless lasing arises are much different from that in the plane wave approximation case.
