10 What s a laser? LASER = Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation. A laser is an oscillator that operates at very high (optical) frequencies (usually in the range Hz, e.g. 192 THz). In common with an electronic circuit oscillator, a laser is constructed from an amplifier with positive feedback. Lasers are constructed using three essential elements: CAVITY positive feedback PUMP energy source GAIN ELEMENT optical frequency amplifier...output light beam % reflective mirror partially reflective mirror 10
11 Laser Properties Laser light is monochromatic i.e. single colour In contrast to rainbows, white light, etc Laser light is in the form a beam Laser Light 11

15 History 1916 Albert Einstein Foundations for laser - spontaneous and stimulated emission 1953 Charles Townes 1st MASER demonstrated 1957 Gordon Gould (graduate student) Schalow & Townes 1964 Charles Townes, Nikolay Basov Aleksandr Prokhorov Optical wavelength LASER name, theory Nobel Prize in Physics "for fundamental work in the field of quantum electronics, which has led to the construction of oscillators and amplifiers based on the maser-laser principle." 1960 Theodore H. Maiman 1st laser. Used a solid-state flashlamp-pumped synthetic ruby crystal to produce red laser light 1960 Ali Javan, et. al. 1st gas laser - HeNe. continuous operation Basov, Javan Robert Hall Nick Holonyak, Jr semiconductor laser diode proposed 1st NIR GaAs laser 1st visible laser 1970 Zhores Alfrerov heterojunction structure - semiconductor laser Room Temperature operation 15
16 The Ruby Laser First man made laser (built by Theodore Maiman in 1960). Optical pumping usually achieved with a xenon flashlamp (pulsed operation). energy fast transition (non-radiative) pump 29 cm -1 split metastable Theodore Maiman lived in level Vancouver in the last part of R 1 = 694.3nm his life, and died in R 2 = 692.7nm ground state 2010 was the 50 th anniversary of the laser 16
17 Recent History Laser designs: DFB laser Theory, Kogelnik and Shank (1972) Demonstration, A. Yariv et al. (1973) VCSEL (Surface emitting Laser) invention, K. Iga (1977) Room temperature operation (1988) Mass production (started in 1999) Materials Heterostructures, Quantum Wells, Quantum Dots Growth uniformity, composition, doping Work towards higher efficiency, higher power, higher speed, many wavelengths, etc. 17

19 Atom Models Classical (Billiard ball) Bohr debroglie (shell model) Schroedinger PhET.colorado.edu hydrogen-atom 19
20 Hydrogen Atom Electron energy in the hydrogen atom is quantized. n is a quantum number: 1, 2, 3, 4 Each defined state has a wave-function From Principles of Electronic Materials and Devices, Third Edition, S.O. Kasap ( McGraw-Hill, 2005) 20
21 Hydrogen Atom Electronic transitions Transitions from one energy level to another occur via energy loss or gain (e.g., via photons) From Principles of Electronic Materials and Devices, Third Edition, S.O. Kasap ( McGraw-Hill, 2005) 21
22 Hydrogen Atom An atom can become excited by a collision with another atom. When it returns to its ground energy state, the atom emits a photon. From Principles of Electronic Materials and Devices, Third Edition, S.O. Kasap ( McGraw-Hill, 2005) 22
23 Concept of Spontaneous Emission N 2 = population density of energy level 2. N 2 E 2 (i.e. # of electrons per cm 3 ) N 1 E 1 (h = x J.s) An electron can spontaneously fall from energy level E 2 to E 1. A photon of wavelength λ photon is emitted in the process. The photon is emitted in a random direction. The probability of a spontaneous jump is given quantitively by the so-called Einstein A coefficient. A 21 = probability per second of a spontaneous jump from level 2 to level 1. 23
24 Process of Stimulated Emission Electron transitions can be stimulated by the action of an external radiation field. N 2 external field ρ(v) hv 21 hv 21 N 1 ρ(v) = energy density of the applied radiation field at frequency v. (energy per unit volume per unit frequency interval: J.m -3.Hz -1 ). E 2 hv 21 E 1 output photons have: same direction same frequency same phase 24
25 Process of Stimulated Absorption Electrons can also make stimulated transitions in the upward direction between energy levels of an atom by absorbing energy from ρ(v) : N 2 E 2 external field ρ(v) hv 21 N 1 E 1 25
26 Summary: three types of transitions E 2 E 1 spontaneous emission stimulated absorption stimulated emission contributes to noise inside a laser loss mechanism amplification mechanism All three processes occur simultaneously inside a laser. What about LEDs? Detectors? Optical Amplifiers? 26
27 Optical Amplification PUMPING MECHANISM I(0) amplifying laser medium I(L) z=0 z=l z Can we calculate the output intensity using Stimulated emission provides optical amplification. We can calculate the intensity at position L, given the gain function γ 0 : 27
28 Condition for Lasing Gain = Loss For self-sustaining oscillations, the optical power lost through the mirrors must be replenished by the gain medium. Gain Loss e.g., Electronic Oscillator 28
