Two-wave mixing in sodium vapour
نویسندگان
چکیده
2014 We have observed a unidirectional oscillation in a ring cavity when a sodium atomic vapour interacts with a non resonant pump beam. We have checked that the frequency of the oscillating beam is almost the same as the frequency of the pump beam. We propose a theoretical interpretation of the origin of a two-wave mixing process in an atomic vapour. We show the necessity of a relaxation process and we emphasize the close relationship between this effect and the Bloembergen PIER 4 resonances. J. Physique 47 (1986) 1321-1325 AOÛT 1986, 1

Coherent and collimated blue light generated by four-wave mixing in Rb vapour.
We investigate frequency up-conversion of low power cw resonant radiation in Rb vapour as a function of various experimental parameters. We present evidence that the process of four wave mixing is responsible for unidirectional blue light generation and that the phase matching conditions along a light-induced waveguide determine the direction and divergence of the blue light. Velocity-selective...
متن کاملSaturation in degenerate four-wave mixing : theory for a two-level atom
We present in this paper a theory of the saturation effects in degenerate four-wave mixing which makes use of the dressed-atom method. We mainly study the case of a Doppler-broadened line, but several results can be applied to the case of nearly degenerate four-wave mixing for a Doppler-free medium. We show that a close relationship does exist between the two problems : the generated beam is ma...
متن کاملSuppression of Four Wave Mixing Based on the Pairing Combinations of Differently Linear-Polarized Optical Signals in WDM System
Data transmission in optical systems and increased transmission distance capacity benefit by using optical amplification wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) technology. The combination of four waves (FWM) is a non-linear effect in the wavelength division multiplex (WDM), when more than two wavelengths of light in a fiber launch will occur. FWM amount depends on the channel, the channel spaci...
متن کاملFour-wave-mixing stopped light in hot atomic rubidium vapour
Digital signal processing, holography, and quantum and classical information processing rely heavily upon recording the amplitude and phase of coherent optical signals. One method for achieving coherent information storage makes use of electromagnetically induced transparency. Storage is achieved by compressing the optical pulse using the steep dispersion of the electromagnetically induced tran...
متن کاملDegenerate four waves mixing in multilayer nanoshell
We will present a detailed investigation of intersubband transitions process in core-multi shells quantum dots. The confined wave functions and eigenenergies of electrons in quantum dots have been calculated under the effective-mass approximation by solving a three-dimensional Schrodinger equation. Excellent dependence is found between size effects, time relaxation and degenerate four wave mixi...
