Abstract

Abstract. The spectra of a femtosecond pulse train propagating in a two-level medium are investigated by solving the full Maxwell-Bloch equations. It is found that the higher spectral components depend crucially on both the relative shift O and the delay time r between the successive pulses of the femtosecond pulse train.

We investigate the spectra of a femtosecond pulse train propagating in a resonant two-level atom (TLA) medium. it is found that higher spectral components can be produced even for a 2 pi femtosecond pulse train. Furthermore, the spectral effects depend crucially on both the relative shift phi and the delay time tau between the successive pulses of the femtosecond pulse train.

We investigate the spectra of a femtosecond pulse train propagating in a resonant two-level atom (TLA) medium. It is found that higher spectral components can be produced even for a 2π femtosecond pulse train. Furthermore, the spectral effects depend crucially on both the relative shift Φ and the delay time τ between the successive pulses of the femtosecond pulse train.

Effect of Atomic Density on Propagation and Spectral Property of Femtosecond Gaussian Pulses

Wang Zhendon

We investigate effect of atomic densities( N) on propagation and spectral property of femtosecond Gaussian pulses in a three-level Λ- type atomic medium by using numerical solution of full Maxwell-Bloch equations. It is shown that,for pulses with smaller area 2π,propagate in mediums with different N,pulse splitting does not occur and strength of spectral component near central frequency decreases considerably as N increases. For pulses with area 4π,pulse splitting could occur when pulses propagate in dilute medium with greater atomic density and in dense medium,and pulse spectral bandwidth and strength of spectral component with higher frequency increase with increasing of N in dilute medium. Spectrum broadening in dense medium is much smaller than that in dilute medium with greater atomic density. For pulses with larger area 8π,pulse splitting is similar to that of 4π pulses. Pulse spectral bandwidth and strength of spectral component with higher frequency increase monotonously with increasing of N. And spectrum broadening in dense medium is much larger than that in dilute medium with smaller atomic density.

Effect of atomic density on propagation and spectral property of femtosecond chirped Gaussian pulses

Zhendong Wang, Feng Gao

We theoretically investigate the effect of the atomic densities N on propagation and spectral property of femtosecond chirped Gaussian pulse in a three-level Λ-type atomic medium by using the numerical solution of the full Maxwell- Bloch equations. It is shown that, when the positive chirped pulse with area 3π, propagate in the medium with smaller N, pulse splitting doesn’t occur and many small oscillations at the trailing edge of the pulse appear, in addition, the level |2< population ρ22 of the pulse exhibits an oscillation feature with time evolution, moreover, the spectral component near the central frequency of the pulse shows an oscillation characteristic too, and the propagation and spectral property of the negative chirped 3π pulse is very similar to that of the positive chirped 3π pulse. For the positive chirped 3π pulse pulses, propagate in the medium with larger N, pulse splitting also doesn’t occur but many small oscillations both at leading edge and the trailing edge of the pulse appear, and the population ρ22 of the pulse only exhibits an scarcely oscillation feature with time evolution, at the same time many oscillations both in blue shift and red shift components of the pulse appear but the spectral component near the central frequency of the pulse oscillate more severely, and the propagation and spectral property of the negative chirped 3π pulse is very similar to that of the positive chirped 3π pulse, but comparing with the case of the negative chirped 3π pulse, the propagation of the positive chirped 3π pulse is delayed at the same distance and the delayed time becomes longer with the distance increasing.
