What isfluencein radiation

In certain cases, Dr. Mary Espy discusses other abnormal results that may put the health of your eyes in jeopardy, including next steps and the potential for further testing. Visit Dr. Espy to confirm any necessary measures to correct or protect your eyesight.

These explain quite comprehensively a wide range of aspects, not only physical principles of operation, but also various practical issues.

Usually, the gain or loss is assumed to be small, i.e. input and output pulse energies are similar. (In the case of large gain, the quantity can be related to the input or output pulse energy, leading to different values.)

A multitude of other tests, some necessary and some optional, are available to thoroughly check your eye’s health and functioning, such as:

Precisely speaking, the mentioned gain or loss reduction refers to the gain or loss directly after the pulse – not to the average gain or loss for the pulse itself. The pulse duration is assumed to be so short (typically shorter than the upper-state lifetime) that both spontaneous emission and the addition of energy from the pump source (for continuous pumping of a laser gain medium) are negligible.

Dr. Mary Espy conducts an eye exam to provide you with a prescription for glasses or contact lenses or to diagnose astigmatism. The process involves a survey of your medical history and any current vision problems in addition to testing your vision.

The saturation energy of a laser gain medium is the pulse energy of an incident short signal pulse which leads to a reduction in the gain to <$1/e$> (≈ 37%) of its initial value. Similarly, the saturation energy of a saturable absorber is defined based on the loss reduction.

Note that the saturation fluence of a saturable absorber does not depend on the thickness of the absorber layer, unless the thickness is so large that the fluence is reduced substantially within the device.

We deal with deformations of the pulse shape due to gain saturation. These can be minimized by pre-distorting the input pulses.

Further, the extractable energy also depends on the pulse duration, pulse shape and repetition rate, but above the formula does not consider any of these, but still it can be used for all pulse durations/shapes/reprates?

where <$h \nu$> is the photon energy at the signal wavelength, <$\sigma_\rm{em}$> and <$\sigma_\rm{abs}$> are the emission and absorption cross-sections at the emission wavelength, and <$A$> is the mode area. The quantity <$\sigma_\rm{abs}$> is zero for four-level gain media (exhibiting no reabsorption on the laser transition) but should not be forgotten for quasi-three-level laser gain media.

After these initial measures, Dr. Espy conducts the visual acuity test, asking you to identify letters of decreasing size on a chart. She examines each eye separately since, in many cases, they require different prescriptions.

When <$N$> passes of a pulse through an amplifier medium are arranged, an effective saturation energy can be defined, which is reduced by a factor <$N$>.

As a general and medical optometrist in Flint, Michigan, she commonly performs eye examinations that measure your visual acuity to provide you with an accurate prescription. Eye exams help her detect astigmatism, nearsightedness, farsightedness, presbyopia, as well as eye teaming problems. These conditions all may require special types of lenses. If you need help improving your vision, schedule an eye exam today by calling or requesting an appointment online.

The gain reduction is independent of pulse duration and pulse shape; it only matters how much energy (how many photons) a pulse has. Of course, it is assumed that the pulse duration is short enough that no substantial amount of energy is lost by spontaneous emission. The pulse repetition rate also does not matter; the amplifier or absorption behavior should not depend on what amplification or absorption processes have been done in the past – except under more complicated circumstances, e.g. when heating of the device matters.

Dr. Espy typically first asks about your medical history and any current vision problems you may be experiencing. She then measures your eye pressure and your eye’s physical condition using lights to inspect your eye’s interior. Any further tests depend on your situation.

After your eye exam, Dr. Espy discusses your results and provides a prescription if necessary. In addition to visual acuity results, you might learn about an astigmatism diagnosis or your risk of eye disease and prudent measures to protect your vision.

These quantities can be defined in an analogous way for saturable absorbers. For example, a pulse with a fluence equal to the saturation fluence reduces the saturable loss of a SESAM to <$1/e$> of its initial value.
