Experimental study of the near-resonant stimulated conical emission in Na vapor

Hen W

Using linearly polarized dye laser beam which is tuned between the doublet on Na to excite Na vapor, a conical emission with polarization perpendicular to that of the incident laser in the forward direction has been observed. Its spectrum and the time evolution are measured. The relation between this emission and the density of Na, the parameters of laser and the pressure of the buff re gas have been studied. This phenomena may be explained by considering the coupling of Rayleigh scattering and transient field of Na atom.

Polarization dependence of resonance-enhanced three-photon scattering

Yaakov Shevy, S. Hochman, A. D. Wilson‐Gordon +2 more

The polarization properties of stimulated three-photon scattering in a three-level atomic system are presented. In our investigation of the stimulated emission spectrum of Na, we find that interference between the amplitudes of the resonant contributions of the Na doublet states results in interesting polarization phenomena. Particularly striking is the behavior when the laser is tuned near the dispersion-free point. With the laser linearly polarized the stimulated three-photon scattering is polarized perpendicular to the laser polarization. For circularly polarized excitation, total extinction of three-photon scattering is observed.
