Light and thermodynamics: the three-level laser as an endoreversible heat engine
Peter Muys
In the past, a number of heat engine models have been devised to apply the principles of thermodynamics to a laser. The best one known is the model using a negative temperature to…
Thermodynamics of a chemical reaction model for the atom-field interaction in a three-level laser
Peter Muys
The temporal evolution of the levels in a three-level laser is macroscopically described by a closed set of rate equations. Here, we complement this picture by providing a model wh…
Tha angular spectrum representation of vectorial laser beams
Peter Muys
The angular spectrum of a vectorial laser beam is expressed in terms of an intrinsic coordinate system instead of the usual Cartesian laboratory coordinates. This switch leads to s…
Polarization eigenstates of axially symmetric waveguide modes in a uniaxial fiber
Peter Muys
The polarization eigenstates of the lowest order axially symmetric waveguide modes in a round uniaxial fiber, are identified as radial and azimuthal
The athermal Laser
Peter Muys
A new laser concept is presented, called the athermal laser, unifying all the hitherto known implementations of radiative laser cooling.
Stimulated radiative laser cooling
Peter Muys
Building a refrigerator based on the conversion of heat into optical energy is an ongoing engineering challenge. Under well-defined conditions, spontaneous anti-Stokes fluorescence…
