The autoionizing states of ytterbium (Yb) were investigated by three-photon polarization spectroscopy. Ytterbium atoms were excited to autoionizing states through the transition 6s 'So -6s6p P, 4f' -( F7/2)6s 6p3/2 (J =2). The total angular momenta J of the autoionizing states were identified by comparing the line intensities from the spectra recorded with different combinations of the laser polarization. In this work, 17 autoionizing states including many new ones were investigated. For all these states Fano parameters and Jvalues are measured. PACS number(s): 32.80.Dz, 32.80.Fb, 32.70.Jz
Cavity-Q-driven spectral shift of lasing was observed in a cylindrical microcavity formed by rhodamine6G-doped quinoline in a capillary. The envelope of lasing spectrum showed a blueshift induced by the decreasing cavity Q of whispering gallery modes as the pump fluence increases. The thermally induced refractive index changes were measured from the shifts of individual lasing modes. The observed cavity-Q-driven spectral shift was well described by a simple dye laser model, which accounts for the dependence of cavity Q on the thermally induced refractive index change.
The effect of the M-window color mixing bar on the characteristics of color mixing and hot spots in the edge-lit backlight employing red (R), green (G), blue (G) light emitting diodes (LED) were studied in terms of the structure of the M-window color mixing bar. The rays from RGB LEDs entering the M-window bar were mixed by internal reflection and scattering inside the M-window bar so that the hot spots and color separation were minimized. The M-window bar was designed and fabricated and the simulation results are matched quite well to experimental data.
