12 Who invented the laser?
13 A piece of history
14 Laser Characteristics spectrally broad divergent can t be focused tightly low efficiency, intensity incoherent What is needed? very monochromatic does not diverge as fast can be focused tightly can be extremely intense spatial coherence temporally coherent More generally: active medium pump (to create population inversion) feedback (resonator, mirrors)
15 Laser Threshold Above threshold, stimulated emission into dominant mode with lowest loss Below threshold, spontaneous emission in all directions
16 Longitudinal modes Allowed modes of the cavity are those where mirror separation is equal to multiple of half wavelength.,q is an integer Frequency separation: for L >> l L
17 Transverse modes Transverse modes are mode that are in a plane perpendicular (transverse) to direction of propagation (m,n). Profiles depend on the mirror shape. Lowest order mode TE 00 is the Gaussian beam. Circular symmetric modes Laguerre polynomials Rectangular symmetric modes Hermite polynomials mnq c L (1 m n) q cos 1 L (1 )(1 r L r ) O. Svelto, Principles of Lasers

26 Communications & optical storage Includes all laser diodes used in telecommunications, data communications, and optical storage applications, including pumps for optical amplifiers.
27 Materials processing & lithography Includes lasers used for all types of metal processing (welding, cutting, annealing, drilling); semiconductor and microelectronics manufacturing (lithography, scribing, defect repair, via drilling); marking of all materials; and other materials processing (such as cutting and welding organics, rapid prototyping, micromachining, and grating manufacture). Also includes lasers for lithography.

29 Laser market Laserfocusworld.com
30 Laser market Current fiber lasers market share is ~ 20% (2013 data) Laserfocusworld.com
31 Why are people still doing research in lasers? The physics of laser operation is well understood. But there is always need for better and cheaper lasers. Also, there are still a lot of applications requirements that current technology can not satisfy. Requirements: New wavelength bands Maximum average output power Maximum peak output power Minimum output pulse duration Maximum power efficiency Minimum cost
32 Fiber lasers First laser was demonstrated in 1960 by T. Maiman First fiber laser was demonstrated in 1963 E. Snitzer
33 Advantages of fiber format Fiber format removes the strict requirement of heat management which is normally very critical in solid-state lasers But there are also disadvantages: Long gain media High nonlinearity Polarization stability High efficiency Air-cooled Direct diode pumping Compact Alignment free Reliable Low cost Performance
