Field responsive absorber for q-spoiling a laser
Abstract
Abstract APPARATUS FOR Q-SPOILING A MASER UTILIZING EITHER THE ZEEMAN OR STARK EFFECT. INCLUDED WITHIN AN OPTICAL CAVITY DEFINED BY TWO REFLECTIVE SURFACES ARE A MASER REGION, AN ABSORBER REGION AND A REFLECTION ELIMINATING SPACER BETWEEN THE MASER AND ABSORBER REGIONS. A HIGH POPULATION INVERSION IS ACHIEVED BY APPLYING A VARYING FIELD TO THE ABSORBER REGION, WHEREBY THE ABSORPTION SPECTRUM OF THE ABSORBER REGION IS SUPER-IMPOSED ON THE EMISSION SPECTRUM OF THE MASER REGION. AFTER A HIGH POPULATION INVERSION IS ACHIEVED, THE ABSORPTION SPECTRUM OF THE ABSOBER REGION IS SHIFTED BY EITHER THE ZEEMAN OR STARK EFFECT. THE ABSORBER REGION IS THEN TRANSPARENT TO THE MASER REGION''S EMISSION FREQUENCY, WHEREBY THE OPTICAL CAVITY DEFINED BY THE TWO REFLECTIVE SURFACES RESONATES PRODUCING A LARGE OUTPUT PULSE.
