Abstract

Spiking behavior and a high degree of intensity correlation of frequency up- and down-converted directional radiation from population-inverted alkali vapors excited with a continuous-wave laser pumping are attributed to cooperative effects.

Spiking and oscillation in the intensity of frequency up-converted collimated blue emission in Rb vapor are attributed to temporal properties of emission on the population-inverted 5D5/2-6P3/2 transition and discussed in the context of cooperative effects.

Intensity-correlated spiking of infrared and ultraviolet emission from sodium vapors

A. M. Akulshin, Felipe Pedreros Bustos, Dmitry Budker

Temporal spiking of directional infrared and ultraviolet cooperative emission from sodium vapors excited to the $4D_{5/2}$ level with a continuous-wave resonant laser pump is analyzed. Mirrorless lasing at 2207 and 2338 nm on cascade population-inverted transitions and radiation at 330 nm generated due to four-wave mixing demonstrate a high degree of intensity correlation.

Spiking dynamics of frequency upconverted field generated in continuous-wave excited rubidium vapors

A. M. Akulshin, Nafia Rahaman, Sergey A. Suslov +2 more

We report on spiking dynamics of frequency upconverted emission at 420 nm generated on the 6 P 3 / 2 − 5 S 1 / 2 transition in Rb vapor two-photon excited to the 5 D 5 / 2 level with laser light at 780 and 776 nm. The spike duration is shorter than the natural lifetime of any excited level involved in the interaction with both continuous and pulsed pump radiation. The spikes at 420 nm are attributed to temporal properties of the directional emission at 5.23 µm generated on the population-inverted 5 D 5 / 2 − 6 P 3 / 2 transition. A link between the spiking regime and cooperative effects is discussed. We suggest that the observed stochastic behavior is due to the quantum-mechanical nature of the cooperative effects rather than random fluctuation of the applied laser fields.
