Abstract

An analysis is made of the influence of the phase modulation and Stark shift of levels on the coherence of light pulses propagating in media with a two-photon resonant interaction. An analytic solution is obtained for the case of two pulses, each carrying the same number of photons. The case of arbitrary numbers of photons in light pulses is also discussed.

Coherent effects in the propagation of ultrashort light pulses in resonant media. Part I (review)

I A Poluéktov, Yurii M Popov, V S Roĭtberg

A review is given of the investigations of the coherent interaction of light pulses with resonantly absorbing two-level media. An analysis is made of the self-induced transparency discovered by McCall and Hahn and of its importance in quantum electronics. Bleached states associated with the phase modulation are considered in detail. A comparison is made with the theory of nonlinear waves of different physical origin. A review is given of some possible physical applications associated with the discriminatory nature of the transmission and delay of light in the self-induced transparency effect.

Third harmonic generation by two-photon interaction of high-power coherent light pulses with resonant media

An analysis is made of the influence of third harmonic generation and parametric interaction on twophoton coherent effects which occur during propagation of high-power light pulses through resonant media. It is shown that third harmonic pulses can be generated in this way.

Propagation of phase-modulated coherent radiation pulses in resonant media

Vladimir D Taranukhin, Sergey Y. Ten

A theoretical analysis is made of the propagation of phase-modulated laser pulses in a resonant two-level medium. It is shown that phase modulation results in the appearance of qualitatively new amplification (absorption) regimes. In one of these regimes, trains of ultrashort pulses may be generated at a high repetition frequency. An analysis is also made of the feasibility of compression of amplified pulses.

Influence of relaxation processes on coherence of twophoton interaction between light pulses and resonant media

I A Poluéktov, Yurii M Popov, V S Roĭtberg

Numerical integration of a system of equations for a resonant medium and a field is used in a study of the influence of the relaxation of the phase memory of this medium on its coherent two-photon interaction with a light pulse. It is shown that the principal coherent effects occur right up to pulse durations equal to the phase relaxation time.

Coherent effects during propagation of ultrashort light pulses in a medium under two-photon interaction conditions

I A Poluéktov, Yurii M Popov, V S Roĭtberg

An analysis is made of the evolution of high-power laser pulses in the case of coherent two-photon interaction with resonant media. It is shown that pulses of frequencies ω 0 and ω s satisfying the equalit ω 0 ±ω 0 =ω 21 (ω 21 is the resonance frequency of the medium) experience splitting into separate subpulses followed by a reduction in their duration and increase in their power. The efficiency of this process depends on the initial ratio of the amplitudes E 0 and E s . It is shown that such effects can be observed in paramagnetic acoustic resonance.

Coherent effects in the propagation of ultrashort light pulses in resonant media. Part II (Review)

I A Poluéktov, Yurii M Popov, V S Roĭtberg

This part of the review deals with coherent effects in the interaction of ultrashort light pulses with media characterized by degenerate transitions, including semiconducting media (in the direct band-band transition region), and with media exhibiting two-photon resonances. It is shown that the self-induced transparency can appear under such conditions and the properties of this effect are studied. A review is made of experimental investigations of the coherent bleaching of various media. The paper ends with a list of the most urgent problems requiring clarification.
