Abstract

Numerical integration of a system of equations for a resonant medium and a field is used in a study of the influence of the relaxation of the phase memory of this medium on its coherent two-photon interaction with a light pulse. It is shown that the principal coherent effects occur right up to pulse durations equal to the phase relaxation time.

Effect of relaxation processes on the coherent interaction between radiation and a two-level medium

Dmitrii I. Gruev

Numerical integration of a system of equations describing the coherent interaction between radiation and a two-level medium (e.g., a semiconductor) is employed to analyze the effect of relaxation processes on the energy characteristics and dynamics of radiation pulses of duration τpΣ T '2 (T '2 is the irreversible polarization relaxation time). It is shown that the interaction of these pulses with the medium is strongly dependent on their area on entry to the medium and the attenuation of the pulses as a result of relaxation processes decreases with increasing pulse input power. This may be utilized for probing the medium in the resonant absorption range for short polarization relaxation times, in solution 42.65.Gv.

Harmonic generation in coherent two-photon interaction between high-power optical pulses and resonant media

I A Poluéktov, A. Nazarkin

A theoretical investigation is made of collinear propagation of high-power optical pulses through a medium under conditions of two-photon resonance ω 0 ± ω s ≈ ω 21 ( ω 0 and ω s are the pulse frequencies, ω 21 is the frequency of an atomic transition in the medium). It is assumed that the condition for coherent interaction τ 0 , τ s < T 2 is satisfied ( τ 0 and τ s are the pulse durations at the entrance, T 2 is the phase relaxation time of the medium). By means of numerical integration of equations for the fields and the medium, it is shown that efficient generation of the harmonics ω 1 = 2 ω 0 ± ω s , ω 2 = 2 ω s ± ω 0 is possible under short and ultrashort pulse conditions.

Passage of an ultrashort coherent light pulse through a semiconductor

A theory is given of the resonant interaction between an ultrashort coherent light pulse and a semiconductor, which occurs when the pulse duration is less than the polarization or "phase memory" relaxation time. It is shown that, under certain conditions, a stationary 2π pulse can form. Numerical estimates of the velocity of propagation of a stable pulse are obtained for a typical semiconductor.

Influence of phase modulation on two-photon coherent interaction of light pulses with resonant media

I A Poluéktov, Yurii M Popov, V S Roĭtberg

An analysis is made of the influence of the phase modulation and Stark shift of levels on the coherence of light pulses propagating in media with a two-photon resonant interaction. An analytic solution is obtained for the case of two pulses, each carrying the same number of photons. The case of arbitrary numbers of photons in light pulses is also discussed.

Coherent effects during propagation of ultrashort light pulses in a medium under two-photon interaction conditions

I A Poluéktov, Yurii M Popov, V S Roĭtberg

An analysis is made of the evolution of high-power laser pulses in the case of coherent two-photon interaction with resonant media. It is shown that pulses of frequencies ω 0 and ω s satisfying the equalit ω 0 ±ω 0 =ω 21 (ω 21 is the resonance frequency of the medium) experience splitting into separate subpulses followed by a reduction in their duration and increase in their power. The efficiency of this process depends on the initial ratio of the amplitudes E 0 and E s . It is shown that such effects can be observed in paramagnetic acoustic resonance.
