QUANTUM MULTIPLIERS AND MIXERS
Abstract
Various resonant structures that may be used in harmonic generation and frequency mixing experiments are discussed. The important parameters considered are simultaneous double resonance, filling factor, and resonator losses. The discussion compares the relative merits of various resonators. The semiconfocal interferometer was used in partly resonant gas experiments using methyl fluoride. Crossed parallel plate interferometers were designed for use in third harmonic generation in nitrosyl fluoride. Problems related to the use of the interferometers in multiple quantum experiments are discussed. Beam splitting techniques to improve the filling factor are discussed. The use of asymmetric top molecules in multiple quantum experiments is complicated by the corrosive properties of these gases. This problem is reviewed. The experimental phase of the work was concerned with experiments to optimize the resonator structure for the partly resonant experiments and evaluation of components to be used in the totally resonant work.
