Coherent addition of spatially incoherent light beams.
We report on efficient coherent addition of spatially incoherent multimode laser beam distributions. Such addition is demonstrated within a multi-channel laser resonator configuration, obtaining more than 90% combining efficiency while preserving the good beam quality. We explain the rather surprising physical phenomenon of coherently adding spatially incoherent light by self-phase-locking of e...
متن کاملTransverse instability of incoherent solitons in Kerr media.
We calculate the growth rate of the small-amplitude perturbations superimposed on a one-dimensional soliton that is fully coherent in the self-trapping dimension, yet uniform and partially incoherent in the other transverse dimension. Such solitons become transversely stable only if the correlation distance is below a specific threshold value. We show that this threshold for transverse instabil...
متن کاملSelf-Trapping of “Necklace” Beams in Self-Focusing Kerr Media
Solitons in Kerr media are the most well-studied solitons in nature. The reason for that is twofold. First, the Kerr nonlinearity can be found in many systems: It represents a weak symmetric anharmonicity, which is equivalent to a weak saturation in a simple harmonic oscillator. For electromagnetic waves propagating in a weakly nonlinear centrosymmetric dielectric media, the Kerr nonlinearity m...
متن کاملModulation instability of incoherent beams in noninstantaneous nonlinear media
We show that modulation instability can exist with partially spatially incoherent light beams in a noninstantaneous nonlinear environment. For such incoherent modulation instability to occur, the value of the nonlinearity has to exceed a threshold imposed by the degree of spatial coherence.
متن کاملIncoherent subharmonic light scattering in isotropic media.
Incoherent subharmonic light scattering in isotropic media is a new kind of nonlinear light scattering, which involves single input photon and multiple output photons of equal frequency. We investigate theoretically the dependence of the subharmonic scattering intensity on the hyperpolarizability of molecules and the incident intensity using nonlinear optics theory similar to that used for Hype...
