ANALYSIS OF LASER-INDUCED GRATING (LIG) SELF-DIFFRACTION IN AN INDUCED ABSORBING MEDIUM

Abstract

We investigate the dynamics of Laser-Induced Gratings (LIG) in a medium showing optical bistability due to increasing absorption (e.g. CdS). Fast switching processes occur in selfdiffraction both in the diffracted and transmitted beams.

Analysis of Laser-Induced Grating (LIG) Self-Diffraction in an Induced Absorbing Medium

C. Weber, R. Renner, Claus F. Klingshirn

In the present contribution we investigate the dynamics of a system showing the nonlinearity of photoinduced absorption under LIG [1] excitation. The experimental realisation is obtained in CdS where plasma induced effects lead to a red shift of absorption and to optical bistability [2].

Resonant self-diffraction from dynamic, laser-induced gratings in II-VI compounds

H. Kalt, R. Renner, Claus F. Klingshirn

Dynamic laser-induced gratings (LIG) are investigated in CdS and ZnO. The microscopic processes resulting in the formation of LIG are discussed. A nonlinear coupling is found between oscillators active in the polarizations\overrightarrow{E} \perp \overrightarrow{c}and\overrightarrow{E} \parallel \overrightarrow{c}, respectively. The influence of induced absorption optical bistability on the temporal evolution of LIG is observed and qualitatively discussed.

SWITCHING DYNAMICS OF BISTABLE CdS ABSORPTIVE PLATELETS

J.‐Y. Bigot, A. Daunois, Noureddine Cherkaoui Eddeqaqi +3 more

The switching dynamics of thermally induced optical bistability due to increasing absorption is investigated in thin CdS platelets, at room temperature. Fast and slow components can be observed during the switching process, they depend on the holding point intensity and on the switching pulse energy. It is shown that the transverse relaxation of the temperature in the sample influences this dynamics. The spectral shift of the band to band absorption edge, at the origin of the bistable behavior, is observed in a three beam experiment.

Transverse effects and slowing down in the switching dynamics of induced absorption optical bistability

M. Wegener, Claus F. Klingshirn, A. Daunois +3 more

The switching dynamics of photothermal-induced absorption optical bistability is studied in CdS. The bistable element being held near its switching threshold is switched by a pulse of an excimer laser, which can be regarded as δ shaped in time with respect to the thermal relaxation time of the sample. The dynamics of the switching process is influenced by the transverse relaxation of the temperature in the sample. Under appropriate conditions either a slowing down or a fast switching is observed.

Transverse optical-bistability switching dynamics of self-focusing counterpropagating light beams in nonlinear medium

Anatoly A. Borshch, Vladyslav I. Volkov, V. Ya. Gayvoronsky

Transverse optical bistability switching dynamics of self-focusing counter-propagating laser beams in a nonlinear medium are investigated by analytical and numerical methods. Cavityless transverse optical bistability in a thin silicon carbide crystal has been implemented experimentally with a characteristic switching time of about 10-10 s.
