Noise propagation from pump to secondary lasers
Optics Letters
|September 11, 2009
Abstract:
Experimental measurements of the intensity fluctuations and the associated power spectra for the pump (argon) laser and the secondary (dye) laser show that the secondary laser follows pump fluctuations when operated far above threshold but acts as a low-pass filter when operated close to threshold. The experimental results are well explained by a laser model that accounts for pump fluctuations through a multiplicative colored-noise process. The theory and the experiment are in good quantitative agreement.

01:07Propagation of Waves
When a wave propagates from one medium to another, part of it may get reflected in the first medium, and part of it may get transmitted to the second medium. In such a case, the interface of the two mediums can be considered as a boundary that is neither fixed nor free.
Consider a scenario where a wave propagates from a string of low linear mass density to a string of high linear mass density. In such a case, the reflected wave is out of phase with respect to the incident wave, however the...
