Phase conjugacy and symmetries in general optical systems

Moshe Nazarathy, Joseph Shamir

Published Jul 1, 1983• 8 citations

Abstract

Various symmetry properties related to phase conjugation are investigated, indicating some new configurations in which these symmetries may arise. Sufficient criteria required to attain those properties are derived for arbitrary optical systems, and previous work by Wolf [ J. Opt. Soc. Am.70, 1311 ( 1980)] and Montgomery [ Opt. Lett.6, 314 ( 1981)] is generalized beyond free-space propagation.

Orthogonality properties of phase conjugate optical resonators

Amos A. Hardy, Pierre A. Bélanger, Anthony E.. Siegman

The orthogonality properties of the eigenmodes of general optical resonators which have a phase conjugate mirror at one end are derived. It is shown that essentially these are biorthogonal relations as in conventional resonators, which are satisfied between the set of modes propagating in one direction around the resonator and the adjoint set of modes propagating in the reversed direction.

Generalized mode theory of conventional and phase-conjugate resonators

Moshe Nazarathy, Amos A. Hardy, Joseph Shamir

The phase-conjugation operator is investigated in the context of the canonical operator theory of first-order optics, which was introduced in a previous series of articles. The matrix representation of this operator and its action on the generalized modes are derived, elucidating the relation between forward and reversed propagation in this new context. The resulting formalism makes possible the derivation of the eigenmodes of conventional and phase-conjugated resonators with loss or gain. Various resonator properties—confinement, stability, mode biorthogonality, and real or complex character of the spot-size parameter—simply follow from the guiding-ray-label representation.

Possible rigid rotations in two-electron atoms

Michel Poirier

The path-integral formulation of quantum mechanics has promoted the study of classical periodic trajectories. In this spirit, the three-body Coulomb problem with a nucleus of infinite mass is considered in the special case of a rigid rotation. Using only Newton's fundamental law for a classical atomic system, one can show that both electrons must be equidistant from the nucleus, and one obtains the solutions previously derived by Klar [Phys. Rev. Lett. 57, 66 (1986); Z. Phys. D 3, 353 (1986); J. Opt. Soc. Am. B 4, 788 (1987)]. Nevertheless, if one allows the charge at rest to be arbitrary, one finds that for Z less than unity unsymmetrical solutions may exist. The stability of each of these configurations is considered. In each case an exponentially increasing solution is present, but the unstable character is less marked in the unsymmetrical configuration. Possible consequences for atomic systems are discussed.

Giant cross-Kerr nonlinearity in a four-level Y-type atomic system

Nguyen Tuan Anh, Nguyen Huy Bang, Doai Van Le

We found the analytical expression for cross-Kerr nonlinear coefficient in a four-level Y-type atomic system. The analytical model is applied to 85Rb atoms and shown that under electromagnetically induced transparency, cross-Kerr nonlinear coefficient is enhanced by several orders of magnitude. At the same time, the amplitude and the sign of cross-Kerr nonlinear coefficient are controlled with respect to the intensity and the frequency of the coupling laser field. The analytical model can be useful to explain the experimental results and to study related effects in nonlinear optics. Full Text: PDF ReferencesC. Ottaviani, D. Vitali, M. Artoni, F. Cataliotti, P.
