Speed vs Pump power

Already known as linear. What’s new?

1. Earier studies

They all said “Roughly linear”!.

Pump wavelength: ~1.5 μm

~1064 nm

514 nm

2. More precise measurement

setup

  • Lap time of 80 mm dash with a precision of 0.1 ms.
  • Pump power was 7 W for fuse initiation and reduced to a certain value.
  • The power was calibrated with a precision of 0.01 W based on the test runs.

3. The results
