Abstract

On the basis of covariant approach generalizations of the theory of polarization self-action effects in isotropic (polarization inhomogeneous) resonance media have been done. The results obtained demonstrate influence of the degree of polarization on evolution of polarization parameters of laser radiation propagating in polarization inhomogeneous media.

Polarization self-action effects of partially polarized light in polarization inhomogeneous media

И. В. Шапочкина, Igor I. Gancheryonok, Thomas K. Dreier

On the basis of covariant approach some generalizations of the theory of polarization self-action effects in isotropic (polarization inhomogeneous) resonance media have been done. The results obtained demonstrate influence of the degree of polarization on evolution of polarization parameters of laser radiation propagating in polarization inhomogeneous media. We present new theoretical findings as well as demonstrate agreement between our results and known experimental data.

Manifestation of the polarization incoherence of light in polarization self-action effects

И. В. Шапочкина, Ганчеренок Игорь Иванович

On the basis of the beam tensor formalism proposed by F. I. Fedorov, the theory of polarization selfaction of radiation in isotropic resonant media is extended to the case of partial elliptic polarization of an electromagnetic wave. The influence of the degree of radiation polarization on the known polarization self-action effects is demonstrated and the self-polarization (depolarization) of light is predicted.

Polarization of radiation from pulsed multifrequency lasers with isotropic resonators

Mikhail V. Arkhipov, Sergey V. Pavlov, N. S. Ryazanov

Calculations are made of the elements of the coherence matrix of radiation generated by a multifrequency laser with an isotropic resonator. The light statistics are used to show that the polarization state of the output radiation fluctuates from one pulse to another and that the average degree of polarization is inversely proportional to the square root of the number of frequencies emitted by the laser. The results of these theoretical calculations agree with the experimental results.

Optical transparency modes in anisotropic media

S. V. Sazonov, N. V. Ustinov

The modes of nonlinear propagation of the two-component electromagnetic pulses through optically uniaxial media containing resonant particles are studied. The features of their manifestation in the "dense" media and in the media with expressed positive and negative birefringences are discussed. It is shown that exponentially and rationally decreasing solutions of the system of material and wave equations allow us also to describe the propagation of the pulses of the self-induced transparency in isotropic media in the case, when the direct electric dipole-dipole interaction between the resonant particles is taken into account.

Resonant Processes of Scattering with Allowance for Different Populations of Magnetic Sublevels

G. G. Adonts

The effect of different populations of the magnetic sublevels of the ground state on the propagation of polarized radiation through resonant media is studied theoretically. The nonlinear refractive indices for circularly and linearly polarized waves in media with arbitrary angular momenta j 1 and j 2 are found. The influence of the coherence between the magnetic sublevels on multiphoton effects is analyzed. It is shown that, as a result of elastic Rayleigh scattering, energy transfer from one component of the wave polarization to the other takes place. The picture of induced four-photon parametric scattering of a weak wave in the presence of a strong wave also changes.
