Hole burning effect and lasers containing saturable absorber with dominate inhomogeneous broadening

Dinh Van Hoang

In the last ten years lasers containing saturable absorber are considered widely theoretically and experimentally by many authors/1-4/, Un action of this laser containing saturable absorber (LSA) are shown different interseting effects like the optical bistability, the bifurrcation, the chaos regime etc...

Saturation effects in resonant three-photon ionisation of sodium with a non-monochromatic field

Pierre Agostini, S E Wheatley, M. D. Levenson +2 more

Presents an experimental and theoretical analysis of two-photon-resonant three-photon ionisation of Na. The transition 3S to to 4D to e - is studied. The theoretical analysis takes into account saturation effects, the finite laser bandwidth and the expansion of the active interaction volume with laser intensity. Good agreement is obtained between theory and experiment.

Saturation of an atomic transition by a phase-diffusing laser field

We have studied the effect of well-characterized laser frequency fluctuations on the saturation of an atomic resonance in a double optical resonance experiment. The peak-height asymmetry of the observed Autler-Townes signal was reversed at small detunings when the shape of the saturating laser power spectrum was changed from nearly Gaussian to nearly Lorentzian. This behavior agrees qualitatively with theoretical calculations and also with previous observations using lasers without such well-characterized fluctuations.
