Spontaneous and Induced Coherent Radiation Generation in Atomic Vapors
Abstract
Experiments have been performed to study the nonlinear behavior of intense incoherent light propagating in an optical fiber; to incoherent light to study time delayed four-wave-mixing in semiconductor doped glasses and organic dyes and coherent light to generate attosecond beats in potassium vapor; to calculated the effect of the dynamic Lorentz shift on four-wave parametric interactions in a strongly driven two-level system as well as the distinct problem of the nonlinear intensity dependent frequency shift of the reflectivity from a gas dielectric interface; and to consider the problem of induced phase modulation by an incoherent pump a diversion in studying an aspect of optical memories using photon echoes.
