Propagation of laser pulse with a few cycle duration in multi-level media

Vyacheslav A. Trofimov, Dmitry Yu. Zagursky, Irina G. Zakharova

1D propagation of a THz Gaussian pulse, containing a few cycles, in multi-level media is studied using computer simulation. Electromagnetic field evolution is governed by Maxwell's equations whereas a medium response is described in the frame-work of the density matrix formalism. For the pulse with a sufficiently broad spectrum we demonstrate the appearance of a cascade mechanism for molecule energy level excitation. As a result, the spectrum of the THz pulse, transmitted through a medium layer, is broadened essentially in comparison with the incident pulse spectrum. We also take into account the incident pulse absolute phase influence on the pulse spectrum broadening.

Propagation of few-cycle pulses in homogeneous and nonhomogeneous media

Dmitry Yu. Zagursky, Irina G. Zakharova, Vyacheslav A. Trofimov

The interaction between a few-cycle pulse and an optically extended multi-level medium is analyzed via computer simulation. The cascade mechanism behind the excitation of the medium’s high energy levels is determined and the way in which it is affected by the pulse’s absolute phase is investigated. The effect structural disordering has on the absorption spectrum of a multi-level medium is also analyzed.

Effect of relaxation processes on the coherent interaction between radiation and a two-level medium

Dmitrii I. Gruev

Numerical integration of a system of equations describing the coherent interaction between radiation and a two-level medium (e.g., a semiconductor) is employed to analyze the effect of relaxation processes on the energy characteristics and dynamics of radiation pulses of duration τpΣ T '2 (T '2 is the irreversible polarization relaxation time). It is shown that the interaction of these pulses with the medium is strongly dependent on their area on entry to the medium and the attenuation of the pulses as a result of relaxation processes decreases with increasing pulse input power. This may be utilized for probing the medium in the resonant absorption range for short polarization relaxation times, in solution 42.65.Gv.

Effect of Time-Dependent Ionization on Propagation of a Few-Cycle Circularly Polarized Laser Pulse in Two-Level Medium

Xiangyun Zhang, Zhenrong Sun, Guoliang Chen +1 more

Influence of multiphoton ionization on the propagation and spectrum of few-cycle circularly (elliptically) polarized laser pulses in an open two-level medium (two-level plus continuum model) is investigated based on the conventional two-level model proposed by Slavcheva and Hess (Phys. Rev. A 72 (2005) 053804), and the propagation dynamics of an arbitrary elliptically polarized laser pulse is reduced into that of right and left circularly polarized laser pulses. When the laser intensity is high enough to cause ionization, there are significant impacts of ionization on the pulse reshaping and on the higher order spectral components, and the impacts for the open two-level model are different from those for the closed two-level model.
