Nondegenerate four-wave mixing in graded metallic films
نویسندگان
چکیده
The effective nondegenerate four-wave mixing (NDFM) susceptibility of graded metallic films with weak nonlinearity is exactly derived by invoking the local-field effects. It is found that the presence of gradation in metallic films can yield a broad resonant plasmon band in the optical region, which results in a large enhancement in the NDFM response and thus a large figure of merit. © 2005 American Institute of Physics.

Nondegenerate four-wave mixing in rubidium vapor: The diamond configuration
We investigate experimentally and theoretically nondegenerate four-wave mixing in rubidium vapor using a diamond configuration 5S1/2, 5P1/2, 5P3/2, and 6S1/2 levels . We model this process of three classical fields interacting with a four-level atomic system with the Schrödinger equation. The experimental results are in good agreement with theoretical predictions for the generated light as a fu...
متن کاملTheory of Nondegenerate Four-Wave Mixing Between Pulses in a Semiconductor Waveguide
We develop a perturbation theory for calculating the effects of saturation on nondegenerate four-wave mixing between short optical pulses in a semiconductor optical amplifier. Saturation due to ultrafast intraband dynamics like carrier heating and spectral hole burning is found to be important for pulses on the order of 10–20 ps or less.
متن کاملNondegenerate four-wave mixing in a double-Lambda system under the influence of coherent population trapping.
Nondegenerate four-wave mixing (NDFWM) in a double-L system of Rb atomic vapor was achieved for collinear pump fields. By comparison of different pump-probe configurations, direct experimental evidence of influence of coherent population trapping on the output power of the NDFWM signal was established. A maximal efficiency for generating the NDFWM signal exists for a moderate pump power in this...
متن کاملNarrow-band optical filter through phase conjugation by nondegenerate four-wave mixing in sodium vapor.
An ultrahigh-Q, tunable optical filter with a FWHM bandwidth of 41 MHz is demonstrated. The filtering is produced by nondegenerate phase conjugation through four-wave mixing in atomic-sodium vapor. The filter is observed to have a maximum quantum efficiency of 4 x 10(-3). However, degenerate phase-conjugation experiments in sodium suggest that a quantum efficiency of greater than unity can be a...
متن کاملFrequency up-conversion of coherent images by intracavity nondegenerate four-wave mixing.
This work presents theoretical and experimental studies of the processes of light field transformations upon frequency-nondegenerate fourwave mixing (NFWM) in a nonlinear Fabry-Perot interferometer (FPI). The principal aims are the development of a theory for intracavity four-wave mixing in complex molecular media in conditions of scattering from dynamic gratings and resonator feedback; determi...
