Abstract

An investigation is made of the resonant amplification of two counterpropagating monochromatic beams having pseudorandom spatial modulation. A system of equations describing the change in the average intensities of the beams in the direction of propagation is derived and solved.

Interaction of two plane waves traveling in a nonlinear amplifying medium

Tatiana I. Kuznetsova

A theoretical study is made of the resonant amplification of two plane waves propagating at a small angle relative to one another. A system of equations describing the interaction between the waves in the case of saturation of the resonant transition is derived and solved analytically. The difference between the ratios of the wave intensities at the input and ouput of such an amplifier is discussed.

Interaction of a spatially modulated wave of complex structure with a plane wave in a quantum amplifier

Tatiana I. Kuznetsova, D. Yu. Kuznetsov

A theoretical investigation is made of conversion (in an amplifier) of the image of a signal consisting of a wave with a pseudorandom transverse structure and a plane wave. Equations are obtained for the description of the mutual influence of these waves under saturation conditions. The results of calculations demonstrate a considerable change in the ratio of the intensities of these waves as a result of amplification.

Quantum spatial correlations of optical beams counterpropagating in Kerr media

Isabel Pérez–Arjona, A. Gatti

This study focuses on the case of a system consisting of a Kerr medium of thickness L, within which two beams, with forward (F) and backward (B) amplitudes, counterpropagate. A classical model for this system predicted the existence of a transverse modulational instability (MI) above a suitable threshold of the pump beam intensities. Instabilities of similar nature have been experimentally observed e.g. in sodium or rubidium vapors.

Kinetics of a transient two-beam interaction in resonant media

V. V. Zherdienko, E.K. Kirilenko, Svetlana A. Lesnik +3 more

An experimental and theoretical investigation was made of the kinetics of a concurrent two-beam interaction in a sodium vapor. A change in the pulse shapes of the interacting beams was noted, particularly an enhancement of their modulation, as they propagated in the resonant medium. The deformation of the beams was caused by both bleaching of the medium under the action of the waves and by transient energy transfer between the waves in a dynamic grating formed in the medium.

Instabilities of counterpropagating beams in a nonlinear medium

Railing Chang, Pierre Meystre

The dynamical behavior of counterpropagating light beams interacting with a nonlinear medium is studied numerically. When the incident intensities are increased, this system becomes unstable and exhibits oscillations undergoing complex behavior, including quasiperiodic motion and chaos. We analyze the output fields by using Fourier spectra, phase portraits, and autocorrelation functions. In the chaotic regime, the Lyapunov exponents and dimensions are calculated. A physical interpretation of the quasiperiodic motion is also given by an exact calculation of the absorption spectrum of a two-level atom.
