  • We propose a diode-pumped cesium laser using frequency locking of a pump laser that can effectively increase the maximum output power of the cesium laser. We simultaneously monitored the absorption spectrum of cesium and the laser output power, and the frequency of pump laser was locked at the center of the $D_2$ absorption line of the cesium atom to obtain an effective gain enhancement. Using this scheme, we have achieved output power increase of ~0.1 W compared to when frequency locking was not applied. Furthermore, by optimizing the temperature of the cesium cell and the reflectivity of the output coupler, we successfully achieved an output power of 1.4 W using the pump power of 2.9 W, providing a slope efficiency of 61.5% and optical-to-optical efficiency of 49%.

  • We study the amplification properties of an optical amplifier based on a cesium-vapor cell. An optical amplification system including cesium vapor mixed with a buffer gas is built, and its amplification feature is investigated as a function of the size of the incident beam and the temperature of the cesium-vapor cell. We observe that the optical amplification properties, such as amplification factor and extraction efficiency, change significantly depending on the temperature and beam diameter of the pump and seed light. A maximum extraction efficiency of 56% is obtained when the temperature of the cesium cell is 90 ℃, with a 200-㎛ diameter of the pump (500 mW) and seed light (10 mW). The numerical simulation of the amplification properties agrees reasonably with the results obtained from the experiment.

  • We report amplification of a small signal in a diode-pumped Cs vapor cell with 500 torr of ethane buffer gas, in the low-pump-power regime of 200 mW or less. For efficient amplifier operation, the pump and signal beams were coupled to a single-mode optical fiber, and completely overlapped in the Cs vapor cell. We investigated the amplification of the small signal according to cell temperature, signal power, and pump power. An amplification factor of 56 was achieved under the conditions of cell temperature of $115^{\circ}C$, signal power of 0.1 mW, and pump power of 200 mW.

  • Recently, cesium tellurium iodine (Cs2TeI6) has emerged as an inorganic halide perovskite material with potential application in optoelectronic devices due to its high absorption coefficient, suitable bandgap and because it consists of nontoxic and earth-abundant elements. However, studies on its fabrication process as well as photoresponse characteristics are limited. In this study, a simple and effective method is introduced for the synthesis of Cs2TeI6 thin films by a two-step dry process. A Cs2TeI6-based lateral photosensor was fabricated, and its photoresponse characteristics were explored under laser illuminations of four different wavelengths in the visible range: 405, 450, 520, and 655 nm. The initial photosensing results suggest potential application and can lead to more promising studies of Cs2TeI6 film in optoelectronics.

  • We observed a velocity-selective saturated absorption spectrum when the pump beam intersects the probe beam at a finite angle with a saturated absorption spectroscopic configuration in the cesium vapor cell. And we also observed a dispersion-like signal by measuring the difference between two velocity-selective absorption spectra produced by two parallel probe beams intersected by one pump beam. The dispersion-like signal was changed with the crossing angle and the crossing position of the pump and probe beams and compared with the calculated result. The dispersion-like signal was used as a frequency discriminator, and the laser could be frequency-stabilized without any frequency modulation. As a result, the square root of Allan variance was $\sigma_y(\tau=1s)=7$\times10^{-12}$, for the sampling time of 1 s.of 1 s.
