Optical power density

Taking the absorbed optical power density as source term S = a /(pcp) 1 in the heat equation (5), an analytical expression for the normalized heterodyne diffraction efficiency can be derived as a cascaded linear response [88, 89] ... 

In Table 1.10, the peak values for the electric and magnetic field strength are calculated for optical power densities typical for laser systems. Obviously, the breakthrough field strength (E > 3 MV/m) occurs in laser beams with a power density >lMW/cm2. Figure 1.11 demonstrates this...

The exact experimental details are described elsewhere [51] but basically, the technique works as follows Since HRS is a forbidden process in isotropic solution, the efficiency is very low. As a consequence the optical fields with high optical power-density are needed together with an efficient collection system to detect the HRS signal. The fundamental light beam is passed between two crossed polarizers. A half-wave plate is place in between the two polarizers to control the intensity of the fundamental beam. Then the fundamental beam is focused in the cell. Part of the intensity is split of and detected by a photodiode (PD) which will read the fundamental signal I . The collection system is constituted out of a concave mirror, an aspherical lens, a planoconvex lens and a photomultiplier. Separation of the fundamental and harmonic light is achieved by an interference filter. A schematic view of the set-up is shown in Figure 7. 

Taking into account the radial distributions of the optical power density and the dye density, the functions of power density distribution W (r) and the dye density distribution 0 (r) are defined as... 

High-brightness LEDs are expected to operate at high optical power densities, with junction temperatures reaching -200° C, a wide range of external temperatures, and humidity levels that could exceed 90% relative humidity (RH). Therefore, it is of critical importance to investigate the operational limits of any LED phosphor and to develop techniques and materials that will improve the phosphor and LED lamp performance under extreme operating conditions.
