Propagation, Transverse, Diffraction Effects, And Coherent Pump Dynamics In Three-Level Superfluorescence And Light Control By Light
F. P. Mattar, C. M. Bowden
Calculational results and analysis are presented and discussed for the effects of coherent pump dynamics, propagation, transverse and diffraction effects on superfluorescent (SF) emission from an optically-pumped three-level system. The full, co-propagational aspects of the injected pump pulse together with the SF which evolves are explicitly treated in the calculation. It is shown that the injection pulse initial characteris-tics can have a strong effect on the SF emission.
