Adiabatic energy transfer from a pump wave to its second harmonic

N. B. Baranova, M A Bolshtyanskiĭ, Boris Ya Zel'dovich

Published Jul 31, 1995• 9 citations
Publisher

Abstract

A numerical experiment is used to confirm the feasibility of adiabatic energy transfer from a pump (fundamental-frequency) wave to its second harmonic. The reverse transition is also demonstrated.

Squeezed light from second-harmonic generation: experiment versus theory

Timothy C. Ralph, Matthew S. Taubman, Andrew G. White +2 more

We report excellent quantitative agreement between theoretical predictions and experimental observation of squeezing from a singly resonant second-harmonic-generating crystal. Limitations in the noise suppression imposed by the pump laser are explicitly modeled and confirmed by our measurements.

Possibility of highly efficient irreversible second-harmonic generation

Resonant absorption at the fundamental frequency makes second-harmonic generation irreversible. The absorption losses decrease as the conditions approach the optimum conditions for generation.

Cascaded frequency conversion under nonlinear stimulated Raman adiabatic passage

Pragati Aashna, Krishnan Thyagarajan

A comprehensive study of two simultaneous three wave mixing processes, a second harmonic generation followed by difference frequency generation, under nonlinear stimulated Raman adiabatic passage (STIRAP) is presented. An input pump is up-converted to its second harmonic, which then gets down-converted to a signal and idler pair with frequencies lying very close to the input pump in such a manner that complete conversion from the pump to the signal and idler takes place without exciting the second harmonic under counterintuitive adiabatic passage. This process involves nonlinear STIRAP with a nonlinear dark state similar to atomic population transfers, and we bring an analogy from atomic systems to our nonlinear dynamics to linearize the problem and analytically obtain the adiabaticity condition required for complete conversion. We also show that the nonlinear STIRAP mechanism results in a large bandwidth of about 380 nm with almost complete conversion of the pump to the signal and idler.
