Continuous-wave and actively Q-switched resonantly dual-end-pumped Er : YAG ceramic laser emitting at 1.6 μm

We demonstrate a continuous-wave (cw) and actively Q-switched Er : YAG ceramic laser resonantly dual-end-pumped by a 1532 nm fibre-coupled laser diode. A maximum cw output power of 1.48 W at 1645.3 nm is obtained at an absorbed pump power of 12.72 W, corresponding to a slope efficiency of 19.2%. In the Q-switched regime the maximum pulse energy of 0.84 mJ is reached at a pulse repetition rate of 100 Hz, pulse duration of 48.03 ns and absorbed pump power of 10.51 W. (lasers)

Single-frequency, injection-seeded Er:YAG laser based on a bow-tie ring slave resonator

A diode pumped, injection-seeded Q-switched Er:YAG laser at 1645.2 nm is demonstrated. A single frequency Er:YAG monolithic nonplanar ring oscillator (NPRO) laser emitting at 1645.24 nm with a maximum output power of 500 mW is used as a seed laser. The seed laser output is injected into a bow-tie slave laser, obtaining stable single-frequency Q-switched operation of the Er:YAG laser. The maximum single-frequency Q-switched Er:YAG laser output energy is 2.9 mJ at 100 Hz with a pulse duration of 160 ns. (lasers)

Effects of tensor interaction on pseudospin energy splitting and shell correction

In the framework of a Skyrme-Hartree-Fock approach combined with Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer (BCS) method, the role of the tensor force on the pseudospin energy splitting for tin isotope chain is investigated. The tensor force turns out to obviously affect the pseudospin energy splitting of the spin-unsaturated nuclei. Since the tensor force shifts the single-particle levels, it modifies the single-particle level density and the shell correction energy thereof. The influence of the tensor interaction on shell correction energy is considerable according to our analysis taking a magic nucleus {sup 132}Sn as well as a superheavy nucleus {sup 298}114 as examples. This modification of the shell correction energy due to the tensor component affects the stability of the superheavy nuclei.

Systematic study of tensor effects in shell evolution

In the framework of the Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov approach with the Skyrme interactions SLy5, SLy5+T, SLy5+T{sub w}, and several sets of the TIJ parametrizations (Skyrme effective interaction parametrizations including the tensor terms), the effect of the tensor force on the shell evolution at Z,N=8, 20, and 28 is investigated. It is shown that the evolution of the gap (defined as the energy difference between the last occupied and first unoccupied single-particle orbits) with SLy5+T is similar to that with SLy5+T{sub w}, and the gap values with SLy5+T are smaller than those with SLy5+T{sub w} in the cases of Z,N=8, 20. At Z, N = 28, the gap values with SLy5 are smaller than those with SLy5+T and larger than those with SLy5+T{sub w}. To understand these features, we analyze the spin-orbit potentials with and without the tensor contributions and the radial wave functions of relevant orbits. Meanwhile, we find that the deviation of the calculated gaps with SLy5+T{sub w} from the experimental ones is larger than that with SLy5+T. This indicates that SLy5+T{sub w} is not suitable for investigating the properties of the ground-state gap evolution. Finally, it is seen that the gap evolutions with different sets of the TIJ parametrizations are similar to each other except for the ones with T22, and there is almost no difference between the tensor effect in gap evolution with the perturbative method and the one with the complete fitting method.
