Spontaneous-Field-Induced Optical Second-Harmonic Generation in Atomic Vapors

Kenzo Miyazaki, Takuzo Sato, Hiroshi Kashiwagi

It is shown that optical second-harmonic generation is possible in dispersive atomic vapors since a static electric field is spontaneously created by the fundamental laser beam. When multiphoton ionization of atoms occurs simultaneously in the interaction, the spontaneous field and second-harmonic generation are significantly enhanced. Our experimental results for atomic sodium vapor irradiated by picosecond Nd-doped yttrium-aluminum-garnet laser pulses agree well with the theoretical predictions.

Picosecond Studies of Optical Second Harmonic Generation in Atomic Vapor

Picosecond laser pulses are used to study the forbidden resonant second harmonic generation (SHG) in atomic vapor. The results can be understood quantitatively by an ionization-initiated dc-field-induced SHG model taking into account the temporal buildup of the dc field and transient behavior of the two-photon coherent excitation of the vapor.
