Random lasing in Nd:LuVO4 crystal powder.

چکیده
Room temperature random lasing action is demonstrated for the first time in a low concentrated neodymium doped vanadate crystal powder. Laser threshold and emission efficiency are comparable to the ones obtained in stoichiometric borate crystal powders. The present investigation provides a complete picture of the random lasing characteristics of Nd-doped vanadate powder both in the spectral and temporal domain, together with a simplified model which accounts for the most relevant features of the random laser.

Random Laser Action in Semiconductor Powder
We report the first observation of random laser action with coherent feedback in semiconductor powder. Since the scattering mean free path is less than the emission wavelength, recurrent light scattering arises and provides coherent feedback for lasing. Discrete lasing modes have been observed above the threshold. The dependence of the lasing threshold intensity on the excitation volume agrees ...
متن کاملOrthogonally polarized dual-wavelength Nd:LuVO4 laser at 1086 nm and 1089 nm.
A comparison between the fluorescence spectra of the Nd-doped vanadate crystals (Nd:YVO4, Nd:GdVO4, Nd:LuVO4) for the 4F3/2 → 4I11/2 transition is studied. We numerically analyze the condition of gain-to-loss balance via an uncoated intracavity etalon to achieve the dual-wavelength operation. We further experimentally demonstrate the orthogonally polarized dual-wavelength laser with a single Nd...
متن کاملUltrafast random laser emission in a dye-doped silica gel powder.
We report efficient random lasing in a ground powder of a novel solid-state material based on silica gel containing SiO(2) nanoparticles embedding rhodamine 6G (Rh6G) dye. Basic properties of random lasing such as emission kinetics, emission spectrum, and threshold of stimulated emission are investigated by using real-time spectroscopy. The laser-like emission dynamics can be accurately describ...
متن کاملSingle-shot stand-off chemical identification of powders using random Raman lasing.
The task of identifying explosives, hazardous chemicals, and biological materials from a safe distance is the subject we consider. Much of the prior work on stand-off spectroscopy using light has been devoted to generating a backward-propagating beam of light that can be used drive further spectroscopic processes. The discovery of random lasing and, more recently, random Raman lasing provide a ...
متن کاملDiode-pumped Continuous-wave Nd:LuVO4 Laser Emitting at 1086 nm in σ Polarization
A diode-pumped Nd:LuVO4 laser emitted at 1086 nm in σ polarization has been demonstrated. A power of 2.37 W at 1086 nm has been achieved in continuous-wave (cw) operation with a fiber-coupled laser diode emitting 18.2 W at 809 nm. Moreover, intracavity second-harmonic generation in cw mode has also been demonstrated with a power of 528 mW at 543 nm by using a LiB3O5 (LBO) nonlinear crystal.
