Analysis of mid-infrared lasing in active random media.

چکیده
Lasing behaviour of 2-dimensional active random structures, designed to work in the Mid-IR region, has been investigated at different input powers by varying the amount of scattering intensity. A Monte Carlo based simulation tool has been developed including a model to manage the optical amplification. The analysis of photon travel distance has been considered to show the random lasing behaviour with particular attention on lasing threshold at different scattering intensity. The simulated results are in agreement with experiments.

Finite-element analysis of lasing modes within photonic random media
We investigated several types of random lasing modes against frequency and the excitation of active medium. Random lasing occurring from multiple light scatterings and the interference effect of the scattered light has various complex lasing states in disordered structures, in which light waves are localized in various forms. Modes of random lasing are generally classified into localized, exten...
متن کاملSimulation of an erbium-doped chalcogenide micro-disk mid-infrared laser source.
The feasibility of mid-infrared (MIR) lasing in erbium-doped gallium lanthanum sulfide (GLS) micro-disks was examined. Lasing condition at 4.5 µm signal using 800 nm pump source was simulated using rate equations, mode propagation and transfer matrix formulation. Cavity quality (Q) factors of 1.48 × 10(4) and 1.53 × 10(6) were assumed at the pump and signal wavelengths, respectively, based on s...
متن کاملMid-infrared Lasing Induced by Noise
We demonstrate that external noise can play a constructive role in a laser diode, inducing coherent mid-infrared radiation. Depending on noise intensity, the induced lasing can be either unimode or mulitimode. The coherence of the radiation in each mode reaches its maximum at an optimal noise intensity that differs depending on the mode. The phenomenon can therefore be classified as a multiple ...

متن کاملMicroscopic Theory of Random Lasing and Light Transport in Amplifying Disordered Media
In the last decade Anderson Localization of Light and Random Lasing has attracted a variety of interest in the community of condensed matter theory. The fact that a system so inartificial as a thin layer consisting of dust particles, which have amplifying properties, can produce coherent laser emission, is of a simple elegance, which promises new insights in fundamental physics. The Random Lase...
