Propagation of laser radiation in a moving delayed-response nonlinear medium

Abstract

A derivation is given of the second-order coherence function for the propagation of laser radiation in a moving delayed-response nonlinear medium. A solution of this equation is used in an asymptotic analysis of fluctuations of the radiation in the case of propagation over long distances.

Theory of Pulse Propagation in a Laser Amplifier

Lee M. Frantz, John S. Nodvik

The growth of a radiation pulse traversing a medium with an inverted population is described by nonlinear, time-dependent photon transport equations, which account for the effect of the radiation on the medium as well as vice versa. The equations are solved in closed form for an arbitrary input pulse and an arbitrary initial distribution of inverted population. The solutions are discussed in detail for the particular cases of a square pulse and a Lorentzian pulse, both with a uniform initial population inversion.

Propagation of Electromagnetic Radiation through a Resonant Medium

Demosthenes Dialetis

The propagation of electromagnetic radiation through a resonant medium is studied. The slowly varying envelope of the electromagnetic field is assumed to have a slowly varying phase in addition to a slowly varying amplitude. The nonlinear coupled equations of motion are solved exactly under rather general assumptions. Three classes of solutions are obtained; two of them reduce to the solutions of Crisp and of McCall and Hahn when the slowly varying phase is zero. Because of the gauge invariance of the equations of motion, there is a term proportional to the vector potential in addition to the terms of its space and time derivatives in the equation describing the evolution in time of the electromagnetic field. Hence, a characteristic frequency exists in the infrared region below which the wave number becomes imaginary.

Two-photon spectron

Maria V. Chekhova

The propagation of a two-photon light in a transparent medium with group velocity dispersion is considered. It is shown that, even in the stationary case of two-photon light generation by cw pumping, the second-order light correlation function behaves like a short pulse: when propagating in a medium, this function smears and at large distances acquires the spectral shape of two-photon radiation.

Nonlinear properties of optically dense medium excited by multifrequency laser radiation

К. А. Баранцев, A. N. Litvinov, Evgeniy Popov

This work is devoted to nonlinear effects in the atomic medium excited by multifrequency laser radiation. We have considered collective light scattering in the optically dense medium in conditions of coherent population trapping. Propagation of intermode correlation coefficient was calculated and it was found that correlation can increase in the medium. Light shifts of the coherent population trapping resonances and ways of their suppression were analyzed. Propagation of radiation in the medium with closed excitation scheme was investigated.

Propagation of the ultrashort laser pulses through the quantum nonlinear medium with resonant properties

A. V. Gulyaev, Olga V. Tikhonova

The propagation of ultrashort few-cycle laser pulses through a quantum nonlinear medium with resonant properties is studied using the method of slowly varying amplitudes with allowance for dispersion effects. A self-consistent system of nonlinear wave equation for the evolution of laser field and the nonstationary Schrödinger equation that determines the material polarization response is numerically solved. Specific features of the propagation of laser pulse caused by a relatively large spectral width and the nonadiabatic character of the laser pulse are established. The rise of the slowly dumping polarization at the eigenfrequency of the medium and the consequent stretching of the laser pulse are observed. The role of the resonant absorption of the laser energy in the medium is analyzed. The nonlinear spectral broadening is demonstrated for the laser pulse propagating through the medium.
