Random polarization dynamics in a resonant optical medium.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Random optical-pulse polarization switching along an active optical medium in the Λ configuration with spatially disordered occupation numbers of its lower energy sublevel pair is described using the idealized integrable Maxwell-Bloch model. Analytical results describing the light polarization-switching statistics for the single self-induced transparency pulse are compared with statistics obtained from direct Monte Carlo numerical simulations.

Numerical Calculation of Resonant Frequencies and Modes of a Three-Atom Photonic Molecule and a Photonic Crystal in an External Cavity
In the present paper, resonant frequencies and modes of a three-atom photonic molecule and a photonic crystal placed within a cavity are numerically calculated. First, governing formulation in transverse electric field mode (TE) is obtained using Maxwell equations. Then, an algorithm based on a finite difference scheme and matrix algebra is presented. The algorithm is then implemented in a comp...
متن کاملOptical properties of a semi-infinite medium consist of graphene based hyperbolic meta-materials with tilted optical axis
In this paper, the optical properties of a semi-infinite medium composed of graphen-based hyperbolic meta-materials with the optical axis were tilted with respect to its boundary with air, by using the Maxwell equations; then the homogeneous effective medium approximation method was studied. The results showed that the orientation of the structure layers (geometric induced anisotropy) affec...
متن کاملInfluence of Interface Thermal Resistance on Relaxation Dynamics of Metal-Dielectric Nanocomposite Materials under Ultrafast Pulse Laser Excitation
Nanocomposite materials, including noble metal nanoparticles embedded in a dielectric host medium, are interesting because of their optical properties linked to surface plasmon resonance phenomena. For studding of nonlinear optical properties and/or energy transfer process, these materials may be excited by ultrashort pulse laser with a temporal width varying from some femtoseconds to some hund...
متن کاملNonlinear magneto-optical rotation of elliptically polarized light
We predict theoretically and demonstrate experimentally an ellipticity-dependent nonlinear magneto-optic rotation of elliptically polarized light propagating in a medium with atomic coherence. We show that this effect results from hexadecapole and higher-order moments of the atomic coherence, and is associated with an enhancement of Kerr and higher-order nonlinearities accompanied by suppressio...
متن کاملNonlinear repolarization dynamics in optical fibers: transient polarization attraction
In this work we present a theoretical and experimental study of the response of a lossless polarizer to a signal beam with a time-varying state of polarization. By lossless polarizer we mean a nonlinear conservative medium (e.g., an optical fiber) which is counter-pumped by an intense and fully polarized pump beam. Such medium transforms input uniform or random distributions of the state of pol...
