EEE036 Understanding Laser Presented by Li Ruiqian & Wu Hongrui
Looks familiar?
Part I: What is laser?
LASER L ight A mplification by S timulated E mission of R adiation
How does it work?
Some variations
Laser Mechanism
Part II: Special Properties of laser
Monochromaticity Something with a single colour
Coherence in laser ● Spatial coherence Same time, different point ● Temporal coherence Different time, same point
Simple Illustration
Directionality & Brightness Remember him? You shall not pass unless in the right direction!!!
Part III: Implications of laser
Ring lasers Commonly seen in cars and ships ● A device used to measure rotation ●
Mechanism of ring lasers
Optical Communication ● The use of semiconductor lasers ● Present in transmitters ● Higher output power and efficiency ● Can be easily modulated
Part IV: Experiments
Simulation & Analysis
Erbium-Doped Fiber Amplifier (EDFA)
