What would it take to make a white laser?


Red, then Green, now Blue....could one be made by collimating all those three colors, kind of like yellow lasers are made with red and green diodes?
Might there be some theoretical way to make a single white laser diode, kind of like the recent white LED breakthrough?

Actually, phase coherency is a side-effect that happens to be useful, but is not essential to lasers (though it is often desirable).

The basic idea behind a laser is: Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation. It is possible for a medium to "lase" at several frequencies simultaneously - that is, to give off light at multiple frequencies when suitably pumped and stimulated. (Think of tunable dye lasers.)

However, for the resulting light to be "white", both the frequencies and their relative amplitudes have to be right.

Furthermore, most (but not all) lasers need a "resonant cavity" (this is where the mirrors come in). So not only must the lasing medium be just right, so must the cavity.

With so many constraints, designing and building a true white-light laser may well be impossible, and even if possible, is going to be very hard. Since hard means expensive, and there is little advantage to a white laser, I doubt there will be much effort in this area.

On the other hand, if what you want is a phony "white" laser - a beam that combines the output of three different lasers into one beam - that is done all the time.

Most modern fiber optic cables used for long distances are "wavelength-division multiplexed" which means multiple lasers pump their light and data into the same fiber. What come out the end is a mixture, which then gets separated. Nobody actually cares about the resulting color, so the frequencies and amplitudes aren't chosen to make "white", but they could be if the need arose.

Matter - particles and waves (3 questions)?


Step by step with Formulas please! (many points will be given)

A blue laser light has a wavelength of 450 nm and a power rating of 30 mW

1. Calculate the energy of a single photon of blue light?

2. Calculate the total number of photons per second in the blue light laser beam?

3. Calculate the photon momentum of a single photon of blue light?

1) Energy = hf = hc / lambda

Energy = 6.63 x 10^-34 * 3 x 10^8 / 450 x 10^-9
Energy = 4.42 x 10^-19 Joules or 2.7625 Electron Volts.

2) 1 Watt = 1 Joule per second
30 mWatts = 0.03 Watts = 0.03 Joules per second.

0.03 / 4.42 x 10^-19 = 6.787 x 10^16 Photons per second

3) Momentum = hf / c (but first we need frequency from c = f * lambda)

3 x 10^8 / 450 x 10^-9 = frequency = 6.667 x 10^14 Hertz

Momentum = 6.63 x 10^-34 * 6.667 x 10^14 / 3 x 10^8
Momentum = 1.473 x 10^-27 kg ms^-1
