Some characteristics of formation of volume dynamic holograms by concurrent waves propagating in resonant atomic media

Abstract

An investigation was made of the transient process of formation of volume dynamic holograms by light within the spectral limits of the D 2 resonant absorption line of sodium. The observed asymmetry of the spectral distribution of the gain of the signal waves in the case of a concurrent interaction between four beams was attributed to different mechanisms of the interaction, the main of which were a four-wave interaction in the long-wavelength wing and transient two-beam energy transfer in the short-wavelength wing. The results obtained were used to recommend an experimental method for the determination of the relative contributions of these processes to the amplification of signal waves.

Transient energy transfer accompanying the interaction of two collinear beams in resonant media

An experimental investigation was made of the spectral dependences of the gain of a signal beam in the presence of transient frequency-degenerate collinear two-beam interaction in sodium vapor, for the purposes of elucidating the characteristic features of two-beam energy transfer in resonant media. A comparison of the experimental data with the results of a theoretical analysis made it possible to relate the low gain of the signal beam gain to the small energy-transfer contribution of diffraction by the phase component of a dynamic grating and the practically equal contribution of diffraction by its amplitude component.

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.

Transient energy transfer between coherent light beams in a resonant medium

V. L. Vinetskiĭ, Nicholai V. Kukhtarev

Transient conversion of the energy of two coherent light beams in a resonant medium is analyzed by the coupled wave method. It is shown that such conversion has a threshold, is spectrally sensitive, and results in preferential energy transfer from a strong to a weak beam in normal and inverted media. The calculated and experimental energy-conversion intensities are compared for two light beams used to record dynamic holograms in sodium vapor.

Frequency conversion of coherent images by thin and volume dynamic holograms

Omar A. Ormachea, O. G. Romanov, Alexei L. Tolstik +3 more

One of the main advances of dynamical holography is the possibility to operate with coherent images in real-time experimental situation. Non-degenerate four-wave mixing has some advantages among different holographic methods because it gives the possibility to perform visualization of infra-red images or to convert visible radiation into ultra-violet region. In the work we study different schemes of frequency conversion of coherent images by thin and volume dynamic holograms nonlinearly formed in multilevel resonance media in conditions of non-degenerate four-wave mixing. The theoretical model of dynamic gratings formation in dye solutions based on coupled-wave equations has been developed. Experimental realization of frequency conversion of coherent images from infra-red to the visible and between different wavelengths of visible region has been performed. It has been shown that the criterion of hologram thickness is dependent on the optical density of medium and intensity of input radiation. The diffraction efficiency of dynamic gratings has been measured in conditions of optical bleaching and in the mode of strong absorption, enabling recording of thin gratings.

Interference-holographic processes of light field transformation by multiwave mixing in resonant media

Alexei L. Tolstik

This paper presents the results of theoretical and experimental studies into the processes of light field transformations upon multiwave mixing. The principal aim is to develop a theory of multiwave mixing in complex molecular media in conditions of exhibited internal (scattering from dynamic gratings) and external (resonator) feedback, to determine a mechanism of light field transformations at the dynamic holograms and by nonlinear interferometers, to work out and introduce into practice novel nonlinear-optical methods for the control over the energy and spatial-temporal characteristics of light beams. The possibilities for phase conjugation with simultaneous frequency conversion of a signal wave are analyzed. The methods aimed at the realization of various types of optical bistability, spatial hysteresis, regular and chaotic intensity oscillations are proposed and investigated

Dynamic holograms in amplifying medium

Е. В. Ивакин, I. P. Petrovich, Alexander S. Rubanov +1 more

An investigation was made of the formation of dynamic holograms in media with a negative absorption coefficient. Recording and/or reconstruction of a wave front under these conditions resulted in an increase of the intensity of the light fluxes. When feedback was sufficiently strong, a dynamic hologram (recorded in an excited system by spatial modulation of the gain) generated radiation with a specified spatial-temporal spectrum.
