Theoretical investigation on temporal properties of random lasers pumped by femtosecond-lasing pulses

Abstract

Pulsing random lasing property has been investigated in both one- and two-dimensional random medium by numerically solving Maxwell’s equations and rate equations in which the pumping rate is described by a time function with duration of 10s or 100s of femtoseconds. The peak intensity, width and delay time of a random lasing pulse are traced with the variation of the peak intensity, duration, shape and numbers of a pumping pulse. Results show that the behavior of random lasing depends strongly on the pumping process, some of which are in agreement with previously reported experiments pumped by femtosecond-lasing pulses. The present work enriches the knowledge about random lasers, especially in temporal regime, and could offer more guidance for relevant experiments.
