Large dc-electric-field-induced nonlinear optical susceptibility of hydrogen atomic vapors

Robert W. Boyd, Lian-Qin Xiang

A unique set of circumstances makes the Rydberg states of atoms ideal for mediating tunable, resonantly enhanced, nonlinear optical interactions. The application of a dc electric field to a vapor of such atoms can induce a second-order or\chi^{(2)}nonlinear susceptibility, which in the absence of the applied field would be forbidden by reasons of symmetry. This paper presents an exact expression, valid within the hydrogenic approximation for field strengths that produce a linear Stark effect, for the resonant contribution to the dc-electric-field-induced\chi^{(2)}susceptibility. Numerical evaluation of this expression for field strengths of the order of 103V/cm predict\chi^{(2)}susceptibilities hundreds of times larger than those of conventional mixing crystals.

Optical vortices induced in nonlinear multilevel atomic vapors

Yiqi Zhang, Zhenkun Wu, Chenzhi Yuan +4 more

In a numerical investigation, we demonstrate the existence and curious evolution of vortices in a ladder-type three-level nonlinear atomic vapor with linear, cubic, and quintic susceptibilities considered simultaneously with the dressing effect. We find that the number of beads and topological charge of the incident beam, as well as its size, greatly affect the formation and evolution of vortices. To determine the number of induced vortices and the corresponding rotation direction, we give common rules associated with the initial conditions coming from various incident beams.
