Parametric four-wave mixing using a single cw laser.
Four-wave mixing can be used to generate coherent output beams, with frequencies difficult to acquire in commercial lasers. Here, a single narrow external cavity diode laser locked to the two photon 5s-5d transition in rubidium is combined with a tapered amplifier system to produce a high power cw beam at 778 nm and used to generate coherent light at 420 nm through parametric four-wave mixing. ...
متن کاملWave mixing in photorefractive crystals with stable solutions and instabilities
Two-wave and four-wave mixing in photorefractive media with saturable gain and saturable absorption is analyzed. Solutions to wave equations are found in terms of quadratures and implicitly given functions. Different models of saturation are compared. It is found that for weak couplings energy transfer between waves is less effective in the strong unsaturated regime as compared to the saturated...
متن کاملBeam coupling and locking of lasers using photorefractive four-wave mixing.
We discuss the use of photorefractive four-wave mixing for coupling and locking of lasers. A demonstration of the double phase-conjugate mirror and the semilinear passive phase-conjugate mirror, pumped simultaneously by different lasers, is described. Cleanup of a distorted laser beam using another local laser and configurations for the phase locking of lasers are discussed.
متن کاملAll-Optical Switching of Picosecond Pulses by Four-Wave Mixing in a Semiconductor Optical Amplifier
High-speed all-optical switching is demonstrated by four-wave mixing (FWM) of picosecond pulses using semiconductor optical amplifiers (SOA). A light source for measurement and switching in the 1.5 μm region is produced using a normal group velocity dispersion fiber and optical parametric oscillator. The output supercontinuum (SC) optical pulses, with a spectral width of approximately 300 nm, a...
متن کاملEnergy transfer in two-wave mixing quasi-degenerated in photorefractive crystals
Wave equations describing the quasi-degenerated two-beam coupling in the photorefractive crystals for high frequency gratings have been solved. In the case of the quasidegenerate two-beam coupling, equations depend upon the coupling coefficient, the response time of the medium, the input beams frequencies, the absorption coefficient and the input intensity ratio. The response time of the medium...
