Nearly degenerate four wave mixing in DFB lasers

Degenerate Four Wave Mixing (DFWM) and Nearly Degenerate Four Wave Mixing (NDFWM) have attracted a considerable attention in non-linear optics. DFWM has found several applications in phase conjugation, used in real time holography and adaptive optics. To realize a higher amplification of the conjugate wave, semiconductor amplifiers have been used. A theoretical analysis of the NDFWM process has been presented by Agrawal [1]. Here, an experimental and theoretical analysis of NDFWM in Distributed Feedback (DFB) lasers is proposed, where the FWM efficiency is enhanced by the cavity feedback mechanism.

DEGENERATE FOUR-WAVE MIXING IN SEMICONDUCTORS AND FERROELECTRICS

Semiconductors and ferroelectrics are promising candidate materials for a variety of applications of degenerate four-wave mixing. In this talk, we will review nonlinear mechanisms in each material and compare the performance of both types of materials for degenerate four-wave mixing applications.

Effects of absorption on degenerate four-wave mixing in iodine vapor

Jörg Gumbel, W. Kiefer

We have investigated degenerate four-wave mixing (DFWM) in a strongly absorbing molecular gas. A theory taking into account saturable absorption of the interacting beams is used to explain the dependence of the DFWM reflectivity on laser intensity and on the molecular number density. These parameters have a great influence on the observed spectra, owing to linear absorption that suppresses the DFWM signal in the line center of the molecular transitions. The great sensitivity of the spectra to the experimental conditions limits the applicability of DFWM for spectroscopic studies in absorbing media.
