45°高反膜中节瘤缺陷的电场增强效应及损伤特性

研究设计和制备了中心波长为1064 nm的45°多层膜反射镜,通过数值仿真结合实验,对薄膜中节瘤缺陷引起的电场增强效应及其对薄膜抗激光损伤性能的影响进行了研究。结果表明:当1064 nm激光从右至左45°斜入射时,电场增强效应主要出现在节瘤缺陷的表层及其左侧轮廓中部,电场增强效应随节瘤缺陷尺寸增大而增强。实验上,在清洁的基板表面喷布单分散SiO2微球作为人工节瘤种子,采用电子束蒸发制备法完成多层全反膜的制备,采用R-on-1方式对薄膜样品进行激光损伤测试。结果表明,薄膜的损伤阈值随着节瘤缺陷尺寸增加而减小。通过综合分析电场增强效应、薄膜损伤测试结果及损伤形貌特征得出,薄膜损伤阈值降低是由于节瘤缺陷和薄膜中微缺陷共同作用的结果。

A Model on Understanding Atomic Coherence in Lasing Without Inversion

A laser model which may operate in the absence of population inversion is proposed.It is found that the realization of lasing without inversion in this model is due to the change of noninversion condition along with the creation of atomic coherence,instead of a coherence-term-induced gain enhancement.
