Abstract

Generation and control of optical signals in a wide wavelength range is of significant importance in optical gates and coherent control.Optical signals of two different wavelengths in the IR regime were generated in atomic Rb vapor using broad bandwidth laser pulses,and competition between the two signals was observed.The effects of pump laser intensity,chirp of laser pulses and Rb number density on the characteristics of the two signals were investigated.The results show that the two signals were generated from two coupled parametric sixwave mixing processes,and the signals vary with pump laser intensity,chirp of pump laser pulses and Rb number density.Moreover,the competition between the two signals was dominantly governed by phase matching conditions closely related to Rb number density.

Optical signals of two different wavelengths in the IR regime were generated in atomic Rb vapor using broad bandwidth laser pulses. Competition between the two signals was observed. The effects of pump laser intensity,chirp of laser pulses and Rb number density on the characteristics of the two signals were investigated.

Generation of two wavelength-infrared optical signals based on coupled parametric six-wave mixings

Changjun Zhu, Na Tong, Bing Xue +1 more

Two wavelength optical signals in the infrared regime were generated in atomic rubidium (Rb) vapor using a Ti:sapphire laser amplifier and competition between the two signals was observed. The effects of Rb number density, pump laser intensity and the chirp of laser pulses on the characteristics of the two signals were investigated. The results show that the two signals were mainly generated by two coupled difference frequency six wave mixings and, in the meantime, two coupled six wave mixing channels were identified. The competition between the two signals is dominantly governed by phase matching conditions in the two six wave mixing processes. The phase matching conditions in the two channels are primarily determined by the Rb number density and, whereas, the phase matching conditions are scarcely related to pump laser intensity and the chirp of pump laser pulses.

Investigation of Quantum Beatings at 608 cm-1 and 70 cm-1 in Rb Vapor

Chang Jun Zhu, Jun Fang He, Xue Jun Zhai +2 more

Two coupled axially phase matched parametric four-wave mixings have been achieved in Rb vapor by using broad bandwidth laser pulses. Coherent radiations at 420 nm produced by difference-frequency optical wave mixing processes were detected and a pump-probe scheme was employed to record time varying characteristics of the parametric four-wave mixing signals. Quantum beatings at 608 cm-1 and 70 cm-1 were retrieved from the time varying signals by Fourier transform. Moreover, time dependent Fourier transform was utilized to analyze the dynamics of quantum beatings. The results indicate that two wave packets associated with the two quantum beating frequency components interact strongly and the quantum beating dynamics can be controlled by adjusting Rb number density.

Competition between Two Six-Wave Mixing Channels in Atomic Rb Vapor

Changjun Zhu, Na Tong, Junfang He +3 more

Two six-wave mixing processes are achieved simultaneously in rubidium vapor and two channels are identified. Signal competition between the two channels is observed and phase matching conditions are analyzed for the two channels. The results show that the two six-wave mixing channels correspond to two parametric processes with weak coupling and, moreover, quantum interference and phase matching conditions primarily govern the signal competition.

Observation of Quantum Beating from Two Coupled Parametric Six-Wave Mixing Signals in Rb

Zhu Chang-jun, Junfang He, Zhai Xue-jun +1 more

Two processes of coupled difference-frequency axially phase-matched parametric six-wave mixing are carried out in Rb vapour by two-photon excitation using fs laser pulses, and parametric six-wave mixing signals in the infrared and near infrared regime are detected. The infrared parametric six-wave mixing signals are up-converted into the visible spectral range by sum-frequency mixing with the pump laser in a LHO 3 crystal. Moreover, quantum beating at 608 cm -1 , corresponding to the 7 s – 5d energy difference in Rb, is observed from the sum-frequency signal at 495 nm. As a result, we obtain modulated light signals in the visible, near infrared and infrared spectral ranges, and study the interference between 7s and 5d states of Rb.
