27 Quantum matter Analogy with classical light waves

28 2-slit diffraction of light Quantum matter

29 Quantum matter 1927: Davisson & Germer experiment à electron diffraction

30 Quantum matter How to describe the matter waves?

31 Quantum matter Some postulates of quantum mechanics: The wavefunction for a particle tells us everything we can know about that particle.

32 Quantum matter Analogy with classical light waves

33 Quantum matter Analogy with classical light waves Plane waves Wave equation for light Spherical waves

34 Quantum matter Some postulates of quantum mechanics: The Schrodinger equation describes the time evolution of the wavefunction. à The wave equation for matter!

35 Quantum matter For time-independent problems, it can be shown

36 Quantum matter For example, if it is a free particle (V=0)

37 Free particle continued Quantum matter

38 Quantum matter Now consider these two wavefunctions:

39 Quantum matter Quantum model of the hydrogen atom Using the Coulomb potential in the Schrodinger equation, one can now obtain the allowed quantum states and energies for the hydrogen atom.

40 Semi-classical model of light-matter interaction

41 Semi-classical model of light-matter interaction Classical light field - quantum atom: solve the full Schrodinger equation

42 Semi-classical model of light-matter interaction Semi-classical picture predicts: -real atom with discrete energy levels (infinite lifetime) -optical absorption -optical gain n=1 n=2 -saturation of absorption or gain spontaneous emission?

43 Lasers Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation Basic elements:

44 Lasers Optical cavities & Gaussian beams Resonant modes of the optical cavity: -find solutions of the wave equation given certain approximations and boundary conditions paraxial approximation Paraxial wave equation

45 Lasers Solutions to the paraxial wave equation: Paraxial wave equation Example: Hermite-Gaussian polynomials

46 Lasers Optical gain: need at least 3 energy levels to have more gain than absorption

47 Lasers Optical gain: need at least 3 energy levels to have more gain than absorption

48 Lasers Optical gain: need at least 3 energy levels to have more gain than absorption Rate equations determine population densities i.e. pumping rate, decay rate, emission rate

49 Lasers Characterizing optical gain: the atomic cross-section

50 Lasers Characterizing optical gain: the atomic cross-section

51 Lasers Steady-state lasing: gain requires population inversion initial field provided by spontaneous emission power in field grows until it significantly reduces population in level 2 à gain saturation steady-state lasing threshold is reach when round-trip gain = round-trip losses
