Consider an optical cavity of length 40 cm. Assume the refractive index is 1, and use the formula for Icavity vs wavelength to p

lot the peak closest to 632.8 nm for 4 values of R = 0.99, 0.90, 0.75 and 0.6. For each case find the spectral width δλm, the finesse F and Q using the equations given in the book or in class. How accurate are our equations in predicting δλm? (You may want to use a graphing software for this problem.)

Answer:

Diode Lasers

Consider a InGaAsP-InP laser diode which has an optical cavity of length 250

microns. The peak radiation is at 1550 nm and the refractive index of InGaAsP is

4. The optical gain bandwidth (as measured between half intensity points) will

normally depend on the pumping current (diode current) but for this problem

assume that it is 2 nm.

(a) What is the mode integer m of the peak radiation?

(b) What is the separation between the modes of the cavity? Please express your

answer as Δλ.

(c) How many modes are within the gain band of the laser?

(d) What is the reflection coefficient and reflectance at the ends of the optical

cavity (faces of the InGaAsP crystal)?

(e) The beam divergence full angles are 20° in y-direction and 5° in x-direction

respectively. Estimate the x and y dimensions of the laser cavity. (Assume the

beam is a Gaussian beam with the waist located at the output. And the beam

waist size is approximately the x-y dimensions of the cavity.)

Solution:

(a) The wavelength λ of a cavity mode and length L are related by

λ = , where m is the mode number, and n is the refractive index.

A tourist being chased by an angry bear is running in a straight line toward his car at a speed of 4.2 m/s. The car is a distanc

dem82 [27]

Explanation:

It is known that the relation between speed and distance is as follows.

velocity = $\frac{distance}{time}$

As it is given that velocity is 6 m/s and distance traveled by the bear is (d + 29). Therefore, time taken by the bear is calculated as follows.

$t_{bear} = \frac{(d + 29)}{6 m/s}$ ............. (1)

As the tourist is running in a car at a velocity of 4.2 m/s. Hence, time taken by the tourist is as follows.

$t_{tourist} = \frac{d}{4.2}$ ............. (2)

Now, equation both equations (1) and (2) equal to each other we will calculate the value of d as follows.

$t_{bear} = t_{tourist}$

$\frac{(d + 29)}{6 m/s}$ = $\frac{d}{4.2}$

4.2d + 121.8 = 6d

d = $\frac{121.8}{1.8}$

= 67.66

Thus, we can conclude that the maximum possible value for d is 67.66.

Marrrta [24]

Answer:

Average speed, $v_{avg}=43.33\ \rm cm/s$

Explanation:

Given:

Initial speed, u=40 cm/s
final speed , v=20 cm/s
Time taken, t=5 s

<u>First case</u>

Using equation of motion we have

$2as=v^2-u^2\\2as=20^2-40^2\\as=-600\\$

Now using,

$v=u +at\\20=40+a\times5\\a=-4\ \rm cm/s^2$

now putting the value of a in first equation we get

$s=150\ \rm cm$

<u>Second case</u>

Acceleration $a=20\ \rm cm/s^2$

Time taken $t=4\ \rm s$

using equation of motion in one Dimension we have

$s=ut+\dfrac{at^2}{2}\\\\s=20\ties 4+\dfrac{20\times 4^2}{2}\\s=240\ \rm cm$

Average speed is equal to total distance travelled per unit total time taken

$v_{avg}=\dfrac{150+240}{5+4}\\v_{avg}=43.33\ \rm cm/s$
