12 A Brief History of Laser
13 The Laser Fundamental research Laser cooling and trapping Light-matter interaction, quantum O, I, BEC. Technology Optical communication and sensing Data storage : Optical tweezers Interferometry (LIGO): 4 km Frequency comb: Spectroscopy, Optical clocks etc. Frequency standard: atomic clocks OTHER Medical applications Eye surgery, scanning Microscopy fabrication
14 1. Main Components of a Laser 1. Power Supply or Pump Source Examples: arc-lamp, another laser, electric discharge, chemical reaction, 2. Gain (Amplifying) Medium Can be solid, gas or liquid 3. Laser Cavity (Resonator) Example: two mirrors Proprietary Data University of New Mexico
15 Electromagnetic radiation: What is a laser? 2.1 What is light?! E = ee ˆ cos( t kz + ) 0 0 E = instantanous electric field E = amplitude eˆ = polarization vector =2 = 2 c / =frequency 2 k = s ˆ = s ˆ = wavevector c =wavelength =phase +E 0 ê ŝ -E 0 Propagation is governed by Maxwell s equations Proprietary Data University of New Mexico
16 Light: Maxwell Equations ME: No charge or current sources Wave Equation Transverse fields: E = 0 2 E 1 2 E c 2 2 t = 1 2 P ε 0 c 2 2 t Propagation in a dielectric Atomic Polarization P D = ε 0 E + P P = ε 0 χe Physics E(r, t) = Re E(r, ω)e iωt Engineering E(r, t) = Re E(r, ω)e jωt Electric susceptibility
17 COHERENCE: Temporal and Spatial Coherence Mutual coherence: able two fields to interfere Temporal Coherence: The phase (t) can vary randomly with time. The coherence time ( c ) is defined as the mean interval between such random variations. E = ee ˆ cos( t kz + ) 0 Coherence length c l c = cτ c Spatial Coherence: The phase (r) can vary randomly with transverse distance of an extended source Light source r z Spatially coherent k 1 Spread in wave vector k φ L Δ (x) ΔL Spatially incoherent k 1 Proprietary Data University of New Mexico
18 Light source Intensity Example: Michelson Interferometer (Measuring the Coherence Properties of Light) k= 2π λ mirrors L1 L2 L=2(L1-L2) I = E 2 cos 2 (k L/2) ( delay) beam splitter detector ~L c τ c = l c /c ( delay) ( L) Proprietary Data University of New Mexico
19 Fourier transform time-frequency E ω = න E t e jωt dt Conjugate variables t ω 1/2 Spread of a beam α = α ഥα 2 t 1 ω 1 Space-momentum t 1 ω 1 E k = න E x e jkx dx x k 1/2 x 1 k 1
20 2.4 Properties of Laser Radiation High degree of temporal coherence (almost single wavelength) High degree of spatial coherence (highly directional, low divergence) Efficient (e.g., wall plug efficiencies of 50% in semiconductor lasers) Very short pulses (<10 fs) have been generated High average (e.g. > 100 kw!) and peak powers (e.g. > 10 TW!) can be achieved Proprietary Data University of New Mexico
