纳米ZnO粉末中随机激光现象

实验采用三倍频Nd：YAG（波长355nm，脉宽8ns，频率30Hz）脉冲激光器作为抽运光源，在ZnO纳米粉末（直径～100nm）中发现了类似激光现象．并用环形腔理论模拟了ZnO的颗粒密度对平均自由程的影响，从理论上证明在纳秒级激光器的抽运下，ZnO纳米粉末也可以发射激光．

In our experiment, the ZnO nanoparticles (diameter about 100nm) are optically pumped by the third harmonics (355 nm wavelength) of a pulsed Nd:YAG laser (30Hz repetition ration rate, 8ns pulse width). Laser-like light emission was observed in the ZnO nanoparticles. We simulate the ZnO particle density transport versus mean free path using the ring cavity theory. The result shows that random lasing can be produced in the ZnO particle with Nd:YAG (pulse width 8 ns).
