Abstract

The dynamics of an anisotropic Fabry-Perot interferometer (FPI) with three- and four-level resonant media has been studied. The origination conditions of complex spatial-temporal polarization dynamic operating modes of the FPI have been analysed at constant intensity of the input light beam. It has been shown that the intensity oscillations are conditioned by the concurrent components of resonance nonlinearity, which are due to population of different excited states of molecules.

Polarization instability in anisotropic interferometer with resonant medium

O. G. Romanov, Alexei L. Tolstik, Lutz Wenke

The dynamics of orthogonal polarization modes in anisotropic plane resonators with resonant medium has been studied. A model of light-induced anisotropic effects in a resonant medium under polarized excitation in conditions of strong saturation has been developed. The origination conditions of polarization instability and its influence on spatial-temporal dynamics have been determined. The methods of arranging the laser beams with special polarization structure have been suggested.

Polarization dynamics and control of anisotropic nonlinear interferometer

O. G. Romanov, Alexei L. Tolstik, Omar A. Ormachea +2 more

In this work a theoretical study of the interaction between a light beam and an anisotropic nonlinear interferometer has been considered and methods to control the transmission of the microcavity using optical and magnetic fields have been developed. It has been demonstrated that anisotrophy of intracavity media determines the differences in transmission functions for various polarization modes and produces polarization instability. Varying spectroscopic parameters of the resonant medium and parameters of the anisotropic element, different types of intensity self-oscillations for different polarization modes can be obtained. To control the characteristics of nonlinear interferometer, it is proposed to use an additional light beam whose frequency is tuned into the absorption band from the excited level. The propagation characteristics of periodic magento-optical and dielectric multilayer films made of alternating layers of these materials having a symmetric periodicity with the center of the structure under a magnetic field is analyzed. The magnetic induction on this type of materials is temperature dependent and modifies the transmission and reflection characteristics of these structures. This kinds of structures, gives us the possibilities for an additional controlling of the characteristics of nonlinear interferometer.

Symmetry breaking and dynamics of four-wave mixing in the nonlinear interferometer

O. G. Romanov, Alexei L. Tolstik

We consider the dynamics of a nonlinear Fabry-Perot interferometer symmetrically pumped by two light beam. An analysis of the conditions for realization of symmetric and asymmetric modes of optical bi- and multistability has been performed using a theory of degenerate four-wave mixing adapted to a Fabry-Perot resonator with amplitude-phase nonlinearity. Complexity of the dynamic behavior due to symmetry breaking bifurcations has been investigated both theoretically and numerically.

O. G. Romanov, Alexei L. Tolstik

Specific features of the light-beam transverse structure transformation in the process of four-wave coupling in the Fabry-Perot interferometer with a resonant nonlinearity under conditions of bifurcation of the symmetry breaking and optical bistability are analyzed. The asymmetric regimes of the interaction, characterized by a difference both in the integrated transmission functions of the nonlinear interferometer for two light beams with equal intensities and in the spatial intensity distribution at the exit of the interferometer, are considered.

Control of a Fabry-Perot interferometer with the use of independent optical pump

N. A. Ivanova, S. M. Karpuck, Alexander S. Rubanov +1 more

A scheme for control of the transfer function of a nonlinear Fabry-Perot interferometer (F-P) using an independent light beam (optical pumping), tuned in frequency to the absorption band from the excited level of resonant medium, has been suggested. The possibility of switching operating modes of the interferometer (differential amplification, discriminator, optical bistability) has been shown.
