Spectral-Dynamical Peculiarities of Polarization of the Active Medium and Space-Time Empirical Modes of a Laser with a Low-Q Cavity

  • Published:
Radiophysics and Quantum Electronics Aims and scope

We have found a set of correlation effects, which are due to the inherent dynamics of the spectral density of polarization of an active medium with strong inhomogeneous broadening of the working transition line and occur if the rate of incoherent relaxation of optical dipole oscillations of the active centers is lower than the rate of optical-field attenuation in the laser cavity. Our analysis is based on the numerical studies of the stationary superradiant laser generation during continuous pumping with self-locking of some of the quasistationary modes. For the purposes of studying the detected effects, the methods of comparative analysis of the dynamic spectra of polarization and the field have been developed. In these methods, the time-frequency and space-time empirical modes of the spectra are used, which are determined by orthogonal eigenfunctions of special correlation matrices. The interconnection of the superradiance phenomena and mode self-locking in the considered class of lasers with low-Q cavities is discussed.
