Stimulated Inelastic Resonance Fluorescence in an Optically Thick Medium

B. Macke, François Rohart

A non-resonant stepwise optical wave travelling through an ensemble of two-level systems is shown to be accompanied by a resonant optical pulse which is continuously amplified and shortened during the propagation. The sample excitation promoted by this stimulated light is calculated in the limit where the frequency offset is much larger than the linewidth (including the saturation broadening) and is shown to be much below previous estimations and dramatically affected by the rise time of the driving field.

Characteristics of SBS dynamics in single-mode optical fibres

A. A. Gordeev, V F Efimkov, Iosif G. Zubarev +2 more

The characteristics of the gain of Stokes pulses in single-mode optical fibres by stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) of monochromatic and nonmonochromatic pump signals have been investigated by numerical simulation using a spectral approach. Conditions under which ‘slow light’ (caused by a group delay) can be implemented are found (it is reasonable to apply this term to a process in which a pulse is delayed with conservation of its shape). The plane-wave interaction model is shown to describe adequately the dynamics of this process in single-mode fibres. A number of gain modes are investigated for Stokes pulses with different time structures upon monochromatic and nonmonochromatic excitation. A new data transfer technique is proposed, which is based on the conversion of stepwise phase modulation of the input Stokes signal into amplitude modulation of the output signal.

Excitation of photon echo by noise pulses

Баруздин Сергей Анатольевич

The excitation of photon echo by noise pulses that are formed by modulation of the carrying frequency with Gauss noise is modeled. The modeling is based on optical Bloch equations the solution of which for noise pulse realizations is constructed by their stepwise approximation. In terms of the formalism of state transfer matrices, the two- and three-pulse excitation modes are analyzed. The complex envelopes of the primary and stimulated echo responses are determined. In the linear (low-level-signal) mode, the shape of the two-pulse echo corresponds to that of the time delayed and inverted noise pulse. The boundary of the linear mode, upon exceeding of which distortions of the shape of the noise pulse become noticeable, is determined. The shape of the stimulated (three-pulse) echo in the linear mode corresponds to that of the autocorrelation function of the noise pulse realization. Upon passage beyond the boundary of the linear mode, the shape of the three-pulse echo corresponds either to the cross-correlation function of distorted noise pulses (with different intensities) or to the autocorrelation function of distorted pulses (with the same intensities). The modeled photon echo excitation modes can be used in photon echo processors to process signals in the light range.
