24 Scenario 508 (1.2) Mode Analysis of Laser Ring Resonator Author: Daniel Asoubar (LightTrans) Requirements: VirtualLab 5.8 Starter and Laser Resonator Toolbox License: CC-BY-SA 3.0
25 Calculation procedure We will use the Fox&Li Algorithm for the mode analysis of a laser ring resonator using. Therefore a single resonator round trip is built up in the Light Path Diagram of VirtualLab TM. Then the external module Scenario_508_LPD_Module_Fox-Li.cs is applied to calculate the most dominant transversal resonator eigenmode.
26 The simulation task Calculation of the most dominant transversal eigenmode of the following laser ring resonator. Top view of laser ring resonator 10mm 6 mm M 1 ideal plane mirror reflectance R = 0.95 Circular aperture with diameter D = 400 µm M 3 ideal plane mirror reflectance R = 1 10mm 4 mm M 2 ideal plane mirror reflectance R = 1
27 The simulation task To build up a single resonator roundtrip we have to unfold the ring resonator setup at the position we like to calculate the eigenmode. Top view of laser ring resonator M 3 ideal plane mirror reflectance R = 1 3mm Position for unfolding resonator 7 mm 10mm 6 mm M 1 ideal plane mirror reflectance R = 0.95 Circular aperture with diameter D = 400 µm 4 mm M 2 ideal plane mirror reflectance R = 1
28 Building up single resonator roundtrip In the Light Path Diagram the single roundtrip will look like in the following way. After the first round trip the field obtained in the Virtual Screen will be stored in the start field component by the Fox-Li module and the next round trip will be calculated. This step will be repeated iteratively.
29 Start field Any monochromatic light source which is available in the light path diagram can be used as the starting condition of the Fox&Li Algorithm. To ensure fast convergence of the eigenmode a good initial guess should be used. This guess can be e.g. the expected dominant eigenmode of the resonator system.
30 Advanced start fields Random phase field can be loaded in the Light Path Diagram using the Stored Complete Field Light Source. Phase of plane wave multiplied with random-phase only transmission function
31 Sampling of round trip operator To ensure a correct sampling please always place directly in front of the Virtual Screen a sampling component and manually choose a sufficient sampling distance and computational domain size.

51 Scenario 510 (1.1) Laser Resonators with Gain Author: Daniel Asoubar (LightTrans) Related Application Scenarios: 508 Requirements: VirtualLab Advanced Starter and Resonator Toolboxes License: CC-BY-SA 3.0
52 Modeling Task Calculation of dominant transversal resonator mode: Resonator includes saturable active medium, which is axialpumped by Gaussian-shaped pump light. The mirrors have circular aperture. Spherical Mirror M1 Radius of curvature = m Aperture Diameter = 1 mm Reflectance R 1 = 1 Spherical Mirror M2 Radius of curvature = -6 km Aperture Diameter = 0.8 mm Reflectance R 2 = mm 10 mm Active medium (e.g. Nd:YAG)
53 Overview The following simulations have to be done to tackle the task: 1. Simulation of pump light distribution inside the active medium using Scenario_510_Pump_setup_1.lpd 2. The resonator setup in the file Scenario_510_Roundtrip_2.lpd defines a single round trip through the resonator. For further details of the round trip concept in VirtualLab please check Scenario_ Power method (Fox-Li Algorithm), Rate Equations and Field Tracing Operators are used to calculate dominant transversal mode with correct output power. Therefore the Fox-Li-Algorithm is applied by Scenario_510_Fox- Li_3.cs.
54 Theory of simple 4-level system The light amplification inside the active medium can be described by the rate equations. If we only consider the transitions given below we can write the rate equations in the following way: E 3 E 2 N 3 N 2 γ 32 dn 3 dd W p N 3 N 0 N 3 γ 32 dn 2 dd W sss ΔN N 2 γ 21 + N 3 γ 32 W sss γ 21 W p dn 1 dd W sss ΔN + N 2 γ 21 N 1 γ 10 dn 0 dd W p N 3 N 0 + N 1 γ 10 E 1 N 1 N = N 0 + N 1 + N 2 +N 3 N 0 E 0 γ 10 N 0 with N j being the population of energy level j W p the transition probability of the pump W sss the transition probability due to stim. emission γ jj the decay rate due to spontaneous emission.
55 Theory of simple 4-level system In steady state there is no change of population of energy levels, and we can write the gain coefficient in the form: g 0 E p (x, y, z) 2 g = 1 + E+ sss(x, y, z) 2 + E sss(x, y, z) 2 I sss with the electric field of the pump beam E p and the forward and backward running electric field of the laser beam to be amplified E + sss x, y, z and E sss x, y, z. All relevant material constants of the active medium can be included in g 0 and I sss. For a simple 4-level system the constants are given by: g 0 = 1 β n pττττε 0 n(v p ) I 4hv sss = 4hv sss (2a) p τττε 0 n(v sss ) (2b) with the material constants according to: β - heat efficiency factor σ - stim. Emission cross -section n p - pump efficiency α - absorption coefficient τ - spon. fluo. life time of upper laser level c - speed of light ε 0 - vacuum permittivity h - Planck s constant v p/sss - light frequency of pump/laser light n - refractive index of active medium (1)

58 Simulation 2: Resonator round trip operator After calculation of pump field distribution, the resonator round trip operator is build up in Scenario_510_Round-trip.lpd file. Therefore we have to unfold the resonator in the following way: Spherical Mirror M2 Spherical Mirror M1 10 mm 6 mm 6 mm 10 mm Active medium (Nd:YAG) Active medium (Nd:YAG) Backward Propagation Forward Propagation
59 Initial guess transversal field distribution Dominant eigenmode and eigenvalue evolution of cold cavity analysis:
60 Initial guess field power Once we have a good initial transversal field distribution we can calculate an energy correction factor ε which has to be multiplied with the cold cavity dominant mode. For small resonator losses we can write the correction factor by: ε = 4g 0 E p 2 zhvsss R 2 ττ with z 2 2 E p exp αz ddd E p = 0 z 2 and E p = max Ep (x,y,0) 2 = E p 2 1 exp αα zz
61 Initial guess field power In our example we have and E p 2 = V 2 ε = which has to be multiplied the cold cavity dominant mode using Manipulation > Operation with constant > Multiplication > m 2
62 Initial guess field power Finally our initial guess is: ε =
63 Results After 170 iterations (approx. 3 hour calculation time) the Fox-Li algorithm will reach the given convergence criteria simulation.tolerance = 1E-6 and the finale results will be shown: Power of field inside the cavity for different iteration steps. Eigenvalue for different iteration steps.
64 Results transversal mode distribution Furthermore the dominant transversal mode pattern inside the cavity directly in front of the outcoupling Mirror M2 is given by VirtualScreen #603: Dominant transversal resonator mode of cavity including saturable gain which is inhomogenously pumped
65 Results output power The output power of the laser resonator can be calculated by multiplying the power of the dominant transversal mode pattern with the mirror reflectance R 2. There are several ways to display the power of the dominant mode: First option: Click on View > Show Property Browser Second option: Go to Table in the Power of field inside the cavity for different iteration steps window and look at the power value at the last iteration
66 Results output power After multiplication of the cavity field power with the reflectance of the mirror M 2 our final output power will be P ooo = W 0.05 = W
67 Summary II VirtualLab can simulate active media with gain saturation including output power calculation. Wave-optical modeling of pump light distribution. Beam propagation method (BPM) enables waveoptical propagation inside nonlinear active media. Nonlinear effects like spatial gain broadening can be modeled. Fox-Li algorithm enables calculation of dominant transversal modes of stable, unstable and ring resonators.

74 Design of the phase function Step 2: Propagate the field (use SPW) by the distance of the two mirrors, 100 mm in our case (left picture). Embed (via Sampling Manipulation) to 700x700 pixels (right picture). Sampling distance and embedding is problem dependent.
75 Design of the phase function Step 3: Conjugate the phase via Phase manipulation. conjugate E x, y = t x, y E(x, y)
76 Design of the phase function Step 4: Divide the conjugate phase by the original phase function via Array-Array-Operations (left picture). Convert to a Jones Matrix Transmission via Conversion (right picture). t x, y = E x, y E(x, y)
