Continuous-wave phase-matched generation of Raman sidebands in a dispersion-managed optical cavity

Abstract

We demonstrate highly efficient continuous-wave-based four-wave mixing beyond a small signal approximation. This is achieved in a high-finesse cavity with controlled dispersion for phase-matched interaction.

Generation of Continuous-Wave Raman Sidebands through Degenerate and Nondegenerate Intracavity Four-Wave Mixing

Shin-ichi Zaitsu, Totaro Imasaka

The phase-matched intracavity four-wave mixing is controlled by the total dispersion of the optical cavity. Continuous-wave Raman sidebands are generated through three different pathways depending on the phase-matching conditions.

Control of quantum pathways for the generation of continuous-wave Raman sidebands

Shin-ichi Zaitsu, Totaro Imasaka

The generation of a multifrequency continuous-wave laser through stimulated Raman scattering and phase-matched four-wave mixing in a medium-filled optical cavity is demonstrated. Three different quantum pathways for the four-wave mixing, two of them degenerate and one of them nondegenerate, can be excited independently by tuning the intracavity dispersion. The results suggest that phase-matched Raman sidebands were generated on the longer wavelength side as well as on the shorter wavelength side, which can be used for the Fourier synthesis of a train of ultrashort optical pulses.

Direct measurement of the enhancement factor of cavity-enhanced coherent Raman scattering over spontaneous Raman scattering in a gaseous medium

Shin-ichi Zaitsu, Kohei Uemoto, Noritada Kaji

We demonstrate phase-matched cavity-enhanced coherent Stokes Raman scattering in hydrogen gas using a high-finesse dispersion-compensated cavity, achieving over 10 9 enhancement compared with spontaneous Raman scattering.

Cavity-enhanced phase-matched coherent Stokes Raman spectroscopy

Kohei Uemoto, Noritada Kaji, Shin-ichi Zaitsu

Coherent Raman spectroscopy is widely applied to mitigate the effects of the smallness of scattering cross-sections common in standard Raman spectroscopy. In this work, we use phased-matched coherent “Stokes” Raman scattering in a macroscopic high-finesse optical enhancement cavity pumped using a narrow-band continuous-wave laser to intensify Raman signals derived from a trace of gaseous Raman-active molecules. To demonstrate the superiority of this method, we directly measure the ratio of signals arising from coherent Raman scattering to those arising from spontaneous Raman scattering in a gaseous medium under the same conditions. The measured enhancement ratio exceeds 10 9 and agrees well with the theoretically predicted value, strongly implying that the proposed method is highly promising for the ultrasensitive detection of traces of homonuclear diatomic molecules that are not accessible via absorption spectroscopy.

Arbitrary dual-frequency generation in Raman-resonant four-wave-mixing process

Jian Zheng, M. Katsuragawa

Arbitrary phase control leads to freely designable optical-frequency-conversion. As an example, we discuss arbitrarily-designable dual-frequency generation in a Raman-resonant four-wave-mixing process.

Phase matching as a gate for photon entanglement

Aleksei M. Zheltikov

Phase matching is shown to provide a tunable gate that helps discriminate entangled states of light generated by four-wave mixing (FWM) in optical fibers against uncorrelated photons originating from Raman scattering. Two types of such gates are discussed. Phase-matching gates of the first type are possible in the normal dispersion regime, where FWM sidebands can be widely tuned by high-order dispersion management, enhancing the ratio of the entangled-photon output to the Raman noise. The photon-entanglement gates of the second type are created by dual-pump cross-phase-modulation-induced FWM sideband generation and can be tuned by group-velocity mismatch of the pump fields.
