  • Abstract
    A simple theoretical model for the calculation of the dependence of filter quantum efficiency versus laser pump power in an atomic Rb vapor laser-excited optical filter is reported. Calculations for Rb filter transitions that can be used to detect the practical and important frequency-doubled Nd lasers are presented. The results of these calculations show the filter´s quantum efficiency versus the laser pump power. The required laser pump powers required range from 2.4 to 60 mW/cm2 of filter aperture
