Abstract

The collision-induced stimulated processes in the ${\mathit{S}}_{1/2}$-${\mathit{P}}_{1/2,3/2}$ system are studied. Propagation of an intense resonant pump pulse and probe pulses in the medium consisting of the ${\mathit{S}}_{1/2}$-${\mathit{P}}_{1/2,3/2}$ atoms and a buffer gas is considered. Attenuation and amplification of the probe pulses are investigated. The quasistationary regime is analyzed analytically. The appropriate set of the Maxwell-Bloch equations is solved numerically. \textcopyright{} 1996 The American Physical Society.

Temporal and spatial evolution of collision-induced stimulated effects in alkali atoms

Z. Konefał, Zygmunt Trumpakaj

A computational study of the optical propagation of Stokes light in a collisionally broadened three-level V-system Raman amplifier is presented. The Stokes light consists of two distinct spectral components: off-resonance stimulated Raman scattering and on-resonance stimulated fluorescence. These two signals are induced by collisional transfer of population from the excited state to the state. The intensity dependence of these effects on the buffer gas and intensity and detuning of the exciting radiations is calculated. In the calculations the probe signals and spontaneous scatterings were used to induce the stimulated signals. We have carried out the calculations over physically realistic propagation distances. The theory was compared with our experimental work and the results of the numerical analysis are used to explain some events observed in the experiments in which the physical mechanism has not yet been understood.

The influence of atomic relaxation on the adiabatic inversion in the S1/2-P1/2, S1/2-P3/2and S1/2-P1/2,3/2systems

Janusz Czub, W. Miklaszewski

The adiabatically created population inversions in S 1/2 -P 1/2 , S 1/2 -P 3/2 and S 1/2 -P 1/2,3/2 systems colliding with buffer gas atoms and interacting with a light pulse with varying driving frequency are investigated. The validity of the adiabatic and secular-adiabatic approximations is examined. A collisionally induced population inversion is predicted. The numerical simulation is performed.

Experimental and numerical study of the collision induced stimulated effects in alkali vapors

Z. Konefał

A computational and experimental study of the optical propagation of light in a collisionally broadened three-level Raman amplifier is presented. The Stokes light consists of two distinct spectral components: of resonance stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) and on-resonance stimulated fluorescence (ASE). The intensity dependence of these effects on the buffer gas and on the intensity and detuning of the exciting radiation are calculated. We have carried out the calculation over physically realistic propagation distance. The theoretical model for a description of ASE i SRS signals generation in such a system was developed. The numerical calculations based on the rate equations agree with the experimental results.

Theoretical study of resonant ultrashort-pulse propagation in semiconductors

A. Knorr, Rolf H. Binder, Markus Lindberg +1 more

Femtosecond-pulse propagation in resonantly excited semiconductors is investigated by numerically solving the semiconductor Maxwell-Bloch equations for plane waves. For excitation at the exciton resonance, it is shown that the pulse absorption exhibits a strongly nonlinear dependence on the input pulse area. Very long propagation distances for strong pulses are observed, but even when all dephasing processes have been neglected, no lossless propagation (self-induced transparency) was found. The influence of the electron-hole many-body effects, nonequilibrium carrier relaxation, and optical dephasing on the pulse-propagation dynamics is studied. The exchange interaction in the electron-hole plasma is shown to support large propagation distances. For excitation of the continuum states, the dependence of the absorption on the intensity of the input pulse is reduced due to the rapid carrier relaxation into quasiequilibrium distributions.

Self-induced-transparency pulses in disordered resonant media

Denis V. Novitsky

A concept of disordered resonant media, which are characterized by random change of the density of active particles along the light propagation direction, is proposed. The effect of disorder on short pulse propagation is analyzed using numerical simulations of the Maxwell-Bloch equations. The transition between self-induced-transparency and localization regimes is revealed as well as disorder-induced inelasticity of pulse collisions.

Coherent propagation of Stokes light in a collisionally broadened three-level amplifier

Bruce J. Herman, Joseph H. Eberly, Michael G. Raymer

We undertake a theoretical investigation of the coherent optical propagation of Stokes light in a collisionally broadened three-level Raman amplifier. The Stokes light consists of two distinct spectral components: off-resonance stimulated Raman scattering and on-resonance stimulated fluorescence, induced by collisional transfer of population to a near-resonant intermediate state of the atomic system. Our model is based on the semiclassical Maxwell-Bloch formalism where the separation of the Stokes light into two components results in an expansion from the usual 9 to 13 atomic variables. We investigate the model both analytically and numerically. We point out the physical contributions to the simultaneous evolution of pump, fluorescence, and Raman light. We discuss the development during propagation of these separate pulses, emphasizing the nonlinear effects that lead to saturation.
