Dynamics of stochastic systems in nonlinear optics. II. The case of a stochastic configuration interaction
A. A. Villaeys, Alex Boeglin
In the preceding paper we have developed a formal theoretical approach to describe the dynamics of stochastic systems in nonlinear optics. The main emphasis has been on the description of the equation of motion of the free system, since the optical fields are usually treated by perturbation expansion. Here we explicitly develop the dynamics of complex models, which should be helpful in realistic situations. Two different models are considered. The dynamics of a stochastic three-level system is introduced first. Then the case of two configurations stochastically coupled is explicitly treated. This last model is of interest in order to understand the effects of nonradiative transitions on the nonlinear-optical properties of stochastic systems.
