TUNABLE COHERENT LIGHT SOURCE.

Abstract

The purpose of this program is to conduct research toward the development of a tunable coherent source based on nonlinear optical effects, to demonstrate a tunable coherent light source, and to demonstrate parametric gain at optical frequencies. Work was continued as follows: (1) An experiment to produce an optical difference frequency between two gas lasers; (2) development of a calibrated optical marginal oscillator for the detection and measurement of a small amount of optical parametric gain; (3) development of quantitative theory for optical parametric effects; and (4) development of improved technology and components for experimental work in nonlinear optics.
