Optical pumping of helium with arc lamp excited LNA lasers
نویسندگان
چکیده
2014 We have developed a compact and relatively inexpensive laser source at 03BB =1.083 03BCm, suitable for optical pumping in helium. The laser is made of an LNA crystal transversely pumped by krypton arc lamps. A cw power of 800 mW has been achieved at 1.083 03BCm with a 3 GHz bandwidth. A 66 % nuclear polarization has been obtained in a 3He gas. Revue Phys. Appl. 24 (1989) 827-831 AOÛT 1989,

Enhanced Modulation and Noise Characteristics in 1.55 µm QD Lasers using Additional Optical Pumping
The modulation response, relative intensity noise (RIN) and frequency noise (FN) characteristics of quantum dot (QD) lasers are investigated theoretically in the presence of an external optical beam. Using small signal analysis of the rate equations for carriers and photons, it is demonstrated that by injecting excess carriers into the QDs excited state through optical pumping, the modulation r...
متن کاملDiode laser--pumped solid-state lasers.
Diode laser-pumped solid-state lasers are efficient, compact, all solid-state sources of coherent optical radiation. Major advances in solid-state laser technology have historically been preceded by advances in pumping technology. The helical flash lamps used to pump early ruby lasers were superseded by the linear flash lamp and arc lamp now used to pump neodymium-doped yttrium-aluminum-garnet ...
متن کاملSpin Polarized Helium-3, a Playground in Many Domains of Physics
This article gives a survey of the different methods which can be used to polarize the nuclear spin of helium-3. These techniques are particularly discussed in relation to the production of polarized helium-3 targets for nuclear physics experiments, such as electron or proton scattering and neutron spin filters. Some emphasis is given to the development of new powerful solid state lasers now us...
متن کامل4He Optical Pumping with Frequency Modulated Light
Recently a distributed Bragg reflection (DBR) laser diode was commercialised by SDL (USA) for helium optical pumping experiments. An interesting feature of the new device is the possibility of frequency modulation of the diode output by modulating the current intensity, leading to a new pumping scheme called optical pumping with frequency modulated light. We develop this method to induce spin p...
متن کاملOptical pumping in a microfabricated Rb vapor cell using a microfabricated Rb discharge light source
Miniature (<few cm) vapor-cell based devices using optical pumping of alkali atoms, such as atomic clocks and magnetometers, today mostly employ vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers as pump light sources. Here, we report on the demonstration of optical pumping in a microfabricated alkali vapor resonance cell using (1) a microfabricated Rb discharge lamp light source, as well as (2) a convent...
