        AbstractScatterings of electrons at quasiparticles or photons are very important for many topics in solid-state physics, e.g., spintronics, magnonics or photonics, and therefore a correct numerical treatment of these scatterings is very important. For a quantum-mechanical description of these scatterings, Fermi’s golden rule is used to calculate the transition rate from an initial state to a final state in a first-order time-dependent perturbation theory. One can calculate the total transition rate from all initial states to all final states with Boltzmann rate equations involving Brillouin zone integrations. The numerical treatment of these integrations on a finite grid is often done via a replacement of the Dirac delta distribution by a Gaussian. The Dirac delta distribution appears in Fermi’s golden rule where it describes the energy conservation among the interacting particles. Since the Dirac delta distribution is a not a function it is not clear from a mathematical point of view that this procedure is justified. We show with physical and mathematical arguments that this numerical procedure is in general correct, and we comment on critical points. پرونده مقاله

        AbstractIn this paper, design and constr uction of a tunable pulsed Ti:sapphire laser and numerical solution of the corresponding rate equations are reported. Rate equations for a four-level system are written and their numerical solution is examined. Furthermore, an optical setup is introduced. In this setup, a Ti:sapphire crystal is longitudinally pumped by the second harmonics of a Q-Switched Nd:YAG laser, and a prism is used as a wavelength-selective element as well. This setup is established for two 10 and 50 % transmission output couplers. In case of using the 10 % coupler, the output energy of the laser, for the pump energy of 36 mJ, is pulses with 3.5 mJ energy and for the 50 % coupler, with 50 mJ of pump energy, pulses with 10 mJ energy are generated. A wavelength tuning range of more than 160 nm is possible. The repetition rate of this laser is 10 Hz and the temporal duration of the pulses is about 30 ns. پرونده مقاله
