Abstract

It is shown that lens-like properties of an active medium, induced by a saturating field or an electron distribution, are responsible for the shift and asymmetry of a molecular resonance observed in lasers with a nonlinearly absorbing cell.

Shifts of the emission frequency of a third-harmonic-stabilized laser due to saturation of the refractive index

Yurii M Malyshev, Yu G Rastorguev, Alexandre N. Titov

A laser with an internal absorption cell stabilized with the aid of its third harmonic is investigated. Considerable frequency shifts are observed when the gas pressure in the cell, depth of modulation, and intensity of the saturating field are altered. These shifts are attributed to the appearance of lens-like properties in the absorbing medium under the action of a resonant field with a Gaussian intensity distribution.

A new modification of the generalized method of moments is used to derive a system of differential equations which describe the behavior of a Gaussian beam in a nonlinear medium. This modification is used in an analysis of an asymmetry and frequency shifts of saturated absorption resonances and dispersion due to light-induced aperture and lens-like properties of the medium.
