Two-Photon Self-Induced Transparency of Different-Frequency Optical Short Pulses in Potassium
Naohiro Tanno, Kenichi Yokoto, Humio Inaba
Low-loss, coherent two-photon propagation and pulse breakup with peak amplification are observed resulting from two-photon resonant self-induced transparency of different-frequency optical pulses interacting with a three-level system in potassium vapor. Theoretical analysis yielding new area equations for two different-frequency pulses with computer solutions agrees well with the observed results.
