Lasing without inversion: Gain enhancement through spectrally colored population pumping.
We propose the use of spectrally colored rather than white (i.e., incoherent) population pumping in lasing-without-inversion schemes. We show that colored pumping can lead to a significant enhancement in gain by presenting explicit results for the gain in a three-level ladder system. These results are obtained from Monte Carlo simulations of the coupled density-matrix-equations, which, for a co...
متن کاملOptical gain in 1.3-μm electrically driven dilute nitride VCSOAs
We report the observation of room-temperature optical gain at 1.3 μm in electrically driven dilute nitride vertical cavity semiconductor optical amplifiers. The gain is calculated with respect to injected power for samples with and without a confinement aperture. At lower injected powers, a gain of almost 10 dB is observed in both samples. At injection powers over 5 nW, the gain is observed to ...
متن کاملGain without inversion for gamma radiation 1
Gain without inversion for a level-mixing scheme is studied for gamma-optics. In this scheme nuclear level mixing is created by misalignment of a dc magnetic field with respect to the c-axis of a noncubic crystal. Axially symmetric electron nuclear coupling and nuclear quadrupole interaction with an electric field gradient produce two electro-nuclear levels that are equally mixed and split, wit...
متن کاملVisible photonic band gap engineering in silicon nitride waveguides
We demonstrate experimentally the tuning of complete photonic band gaps in patterned silicon nitride waveguides. Transmission measurements were performed using an ultrabroadband high-brightness white light laser continuum, extracting extinction ratios as low as 10 in the gap regions. Angle-resolved measurements show the perfect alignment of the gap around the G-J direction. © 2000 American Inst...
متن کاملStrain-engineering of band gaps in piezoelectric boron nitride nanoribbons.
Two-dimensional atomic sheets such as graphene and boron nitride monolayers represent a new class of nanostructured materials for a variety of applications. However, the intrinsic electronic structure of graphene and h-BN atomic sheets limits their direct application in electronic devices. By first-principles density functional theory calculations we demonstrate that band gap of zigzag BN nanor...
