次に、上述したレーザ10の一実施例に関する種々の実験について説明する。
Δv=c/(2nl) … (1)
ここで、cは光速、nはレーザ部材11の屈折率であり、n=1.59としている。
上記実施例では励起子分子2光子共鳴励起によるレーザ発振について述べたが、本比較例では励起子1光子励起について述べる。
上記実施例では、図1のレーザ部材11の母材としてNaClを、この母材に埋め込む半導体量子ドットとしてCuClを選択したが、レーザ部材11はこれらに限られるものではない。
本実施形態のレーザ10では、励起光の波長に近い波長のレーザ発振を実現することができる。また、レーザ10では、レーザ部材11の半導体量子ドットのサイズを比較的広く分布させることができ、この広い分布に応じて、広い波長域におけるレーザ発振を実現することが可能である。
