Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen correlations in second-harmonic generation
A quantum model for singly resonant second-harmonic generation in a cavity with transverse degrees of freedom is analyzed. An instability threshold for pattern formation exists in this system. Below threshold, a strong modulation of the noise is demonstrated in the transverse structure of the far field. The performed analysis encompasses both oneand two-point correlation functions. The noise in...
متن کاملSecond Harmonic Generation Diagnostic of Layer by Layer Deposition from Disperse Red 1–Functionalized Maleic Anhydride Copolymer
Layer-by-layer (LBL) electrostatic assembly of poly-electrolytes is proving to be an increasingly rich and versatile technique for the formation of multilayered thin films with a wide range of electrical, magnetic, and optical properties. In the present work we synthesized a new nonlinear optical (NLO) maleic acid copolymer containing Disperse Red 1 moieties, built-up multilayer assemblies by a...
متن کاملNonlinear analysis of pattern formation in singly resonant second-harmonic generation
A weakly nonlinear multiple-scales analysis is performed for singly resonant second-harmonic generation. Coupled amplitude equations are derived that describe pattern formation above the transverse instability threshold. The amplitude equations explain the absence of roll patterns and are in good agreement with numerical results. Ó 2000 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved. PACS: 42.65.Sf;...
متن کاملModification of pattern formation in doubly resonant second-harmonic generation by competing parametric oscillation.
We analyze pattern formation in doubly resonant intracavity second-harmonic generation in the presence of competing nondegenerate parametric downconversion. We show that for positive cavity detuning of the fundamental frequency the threshold for parametric oscillation is lower than that of transverse, pattern forming instabilities. The parametric oscillation strongly modifies the pattern dynami...
متن کاملSpatial quantum correlations in the fluorescence of traveling-wave second-harmonic generation
We investigate theoretically the spatial quantum correlations of the light produced by spontaneous emission in type-I second-harmonic generation in the traveling-wave configuration. It is first shown that spontaneous emission occurs at both fundamental and second-harmonic frequency. Considering the quantum fluctuations of the intensities collected in symmetrical parts of the far-field plane, no...
