  5. Stimulated emission

  6. E2 E1 Boltzmann’s equation example: T=3000 K E2-E1=2.0 eV • n1 - the number of electrons of energy E1 • n2 - the number of electrons of energy E2

  7. Einstein’s theory of spontaneous and stimulated emission

  8. Einstein’s coefficients Probability of stimulated absorption R1-2 R1-2 = r (n) B1-2 Probability of stimulated and spontaneous emission : R2-1 = r (n) B2-1 + A2-1 assumption: n1 atoms of energy e 1 and n2 atoms of energy e 2 are in thermal equilibrium at temperature T with the radiation of spectral density r (n): n1 R1-2 = n2 R2-1 n1r (n) B1-2 = n2 (r (n) B2-1 + A2-1) E2 E1

  9. According to Boltzman statistics: • r (n) = = Planck’s law B1-2/B2-1 = 1

  10. The probability of spontaneous emission A2-1 /the probability of stimulated emission B2-1r(n ): • Visible photons, energy: 1.6eV – 3.1eV. • kT at 300K ~ 0.025eV. • stimulated emission dominates solely when hn /kT <<1! • (for microwaves: hn <0.0015eV) • The frequency of emission acts to the absorption: • if hn /kT <<1. x~ n2/n1

  14. Carbon Di Oxide LASERPrincipleThe transition between the rotational and vibrationalenergy levels lends to the construction of a molecular gas laser.Nitrogen atoms areraised to the excited state which in turn deliver energy to the CO2 atoms whose energy levels are close to it. Transition takes place between the energy levels of CO2 atoms and the laser beam is emitted.

  16. Nd (Neodymium) – YAG (Yttrium Aluminium Garnet) LASERPrincipleCharacteristics Doped Insulator laser refers to yttrium aluminium garnet doped with neodymium. The Nd ion has many energy levels and due to optical pumping these ions are raised to excited levels. During the transition from the metastable state to E1, the laser beam of wavelength 1.064μm is emitted

  19. HOMOJUNCTION SEMICONDUCTOR LASER(Ga-As Laser) Principle • The electron in the conduction band combines with a hole in the valence band and the recombination produces radiant energy. This photon induces another electron in the CB to combine with a hole in the VB and thereby stimulate the emission of another photon.

  20. P- and N-type Semiconductors • In the compound GaAs, each gallium atom has three electrons in its outermost shell of electrons and each arsenic atom has five. When a trace of an impurity element with two outer electrons, such as zinc, is added to the crystal. The result is the shortage of one electron from one of the pairs, causing an imbalance in which there is a “hole” for an electron but there is no electron available. This forms a p-type semiconductor. • When a trace of an impurity element with six outer electrons, such as selenium, is added to a crystal of GaAs, it provides on additional electron which is not needed for the bonding. This electron can be free to move through the crystal. Thus, it provides a mechanism for electrical conductivity. This type is called an n-type semiconductor.

  22. Forward-biased pn Junction Lowering the barrier potential with a forward bias allows majority carriers to diffuse across the junction. Optical Fiber communications, 3rd ed.,G.Keiser,McGrawHill, 2000

  30. S S S N N N N N S S 1. Introduction The Free Electron Laser (FEL) consists of a relativistic beam of electrons (v≈c) moving through a spatially periodic magnetic field (wiggler). Relativistic electron beam EM radiation llw /g2 << lw Magnetostatic “wiggler” field (wavelength lw) • Principal attraction of the FEL is tunability : • - FELs currently produce coherent light from microwaves • through visible to UV • X-ray production via Self- Amplified Spontaneous Emission (SASE) (LCLS – 1.5Å)

  31. Principle Two beams (object beam and reference beam) are superimposed on a holographic plate to form an image called a hologram.

  32. Principle A beam of light (reading beam) having the same wavelength as that of the reference beam used for constructing the hologram, is made to fall over the hologram, which in turn gives rise to a 3-D image in the field of view.
