Abstract

We describe theoretically and verify experimentally a simple technique for analyzing conversion efficiency and threshold of ail-resonant intracavity Raman lasers. The method is based on a dependence of the ring-down time of the pump cavity mode on the energy, accumulated in the cavity.

Photorefractivity in WGM resonators

We report on observation of photorefractive effects in whispering gallery mode resonators made of as-grown and magnesium doped lithium niobate and lithium tantalate in the near as well as far infrared. The effects manifested themselves as dynamic modification of the spectra as well as quality factors of the resonators coupled to the laser radiation. We have observed a significant (exceeding 10-4) change of the ordinary index of refraction of all the materials exposed with 780 nm light. Photorefractive effects have also been detected at 1550 nm. Our experiments support the conclusion that the photorefractivity does not have a distinct red boundary. We show that the maximum saturated refractive index change in the infrared is of the same order of magnitude as in the visible light.
