Artigo IPEN-doc 30193 Random lasers2023 - WETTER, NIKLAUS U.; VIEIRA, RENATO J.R.; SILVA, DANILO M. da; JORGE, KELLY C.; JIMENEZ-VILLAR, ERNESTO; GIEHL, JULIA M.; MIRANDA, ADRIANA R. de; DIPOLD, JESSICARandom lasers offer advantages such as low-cost fabrication and robustness in harsh environments and have applications in sensing, imaging, communications, and security. Our current research focuses on advanced materials, active control techniques, integration with other photonic structures, and exploration of Anderson localization and polydisperse effects. Coherent feedback in cavity-enhanced random lasers is discussed as means to achieve specific emission characteristics, and emission at 1300 nm is shown for the first time.Resumo IPEN-doc 25521 Polydispersed powders (Nd3+:YVO4) for ultra efficient random lasers2018 - WETTER, NIKLAUS U.; GIEHL, JULIA M.; JIMENEZ-VILLAR, ERNESTO; ANACLETO, DANILORandom lasers hold the potential for cheap, coherent light sources that can be miniaturized and molded into any shape with several other added benefits such as speckle-free imaging and cancer detectin, however, they require improvements specifically in terms of efficiency. This talk details for the first time a strategy for increasing the efficiency of a random laser that consists in using smaller particles, trapped between large particles to serve as absorption and gain centers whereas the large particles control mainly the light diffusion into the sample. In order to to determine the samples’ transport mean free path, fill fractions, laser efficiency and the average photon path lengths inside the scattering medium for backscattered pump photons, measurements of backscattering cone, sample absorption, reflection and laser emission are done. A record slope efficiency of 50% is reached by optimizing pump photon diffusion and absorption in a powder pellet composed by a polydispersed particle size distribution (smaller particles between bigger ones) from a grinded and sieved 1.33 mol% Nd:YVO4 crystal with mean particle size of 54 micrometers.Artigo IPEN-doc 24975 Influence of the fraction of absorbed pump power on the performance of Nd3+:YVO4 powder random lasers2018 - WETTER, NIKLAUS U.; SILVA, DANILO A.A. da; JIMENEZ-VILLAR, ERNESTO; GIEHL, JULIA M.Understanding light absorption in random lasers and its distribution within the scattering gain media is a key issue to increase the lasers’ efficiency. Here we compare monodispersed and polydispersed powders of Nd3+:YVO4 and investigate the influence of the powder size distribution on scattering mean free path, absorption volume and, eventually, the lasers efficiency. The highest efficiency is achieved for polydispersed powders and we conjecture that these polydispersed powders, composed of pockets containing small grains trapped between large particles, present locally higher pump power densities than the monodispersed powders. We establish a figure of merit, based on measurable powder parameters, that agrees well with the obtained output power results of the monodispersed and polydispersed samples.Artigo IPEN-doc 24396 Polydispersed powders (Nd3+:YVO4) for ultra efficient random lasers2018 - WETTER, NIKLAUS U.; GIEHL, JULIA M.; BUTZBACH, FELIX; ANACLETO, DANILO; JIMENEZ-VILLAR, ERNESTORandom lasers hold the potential for cheap, coherent light sources that can be miniaturized and molded into any shape with several other added benefits such as speckle-free imaging; however, they require improvements specifically in terms of efficiency.

A record slope efficiency of 50% is reached by optimizing pump photon diffusion and absorption in a powder pellet composed by a polydispersed particle size distribution (smaller particles between bigger ones) from a grinded and sieved 1.33 mol% yttrium vanadate doped with neodymium crystal with mean particle size of 54 μm.Resumo IPEN-doc 23251 Optimized grain size distributions for maximum efficiency in neodymium doped powder random lasers2017 - WETTER, N.U.; GIEHL, J.M.; BUTZBACH, F.; ANACLETO, D.; SIMONE, G. de; JIMENEZ-VILLAR, E.We show that polydispersed powders can have much higher random laser output power and efficiency than monodispersed powders. A more than 50% slope efficiency is achieved by using highly doped Nd:YVO4 powders composed of average grains size of 50 μm and 10% volume fraction of grains below 1 μm. We demonstrate that the smaller particles, trapped between large particles, serve as gain centers whereas the large particles control the light diffusion into the sample. A detailed light diffusion analysis of the samples explains the observed differences.
