High-gain nondegenerate two-wave mixing in Cr:YAIO(3).
نویسندگان
چکیده
A gain of 22 times was obtained by nondegenerate two-wave mixing in Cr:YAlO(3). To our knowledge, this is the largest cw two-wave mixing gain obtained in a bulk solid-state nonphotorefractive material. The measured gain appears to be limited by beam breakup that is due to spatial nonuniformities in the nonlinear refractive-index change that are the result of inhomogeneities in the crystal. Predictions based on our data indicate that gain in excess of 200 times should be possible in Cr:YAlO(3) if a homogeneous crystal can be obtained.

Nondegenerate Four-Wave Mixing in a Homogeneously Broadened Two-Level System with Saturating Pump Waves
The formulation of phase conjugation via nondegenerate four-wave mixing in a homogeneously broadened resonant medium is genetalized to include saturating pump waves. An ultrahigh-Q optical fdter is predicted, showing both gain and a bandwidth less than the homogeneous linewidth of the atom. The dependence of the filter function on the ac Stark effect and on the use of asymmetric pump wave inten...
متن کاملGeneration of two-temporal-mode photon states by vector four-wave mixing.
Photon pair states and multiple-photon squeezed states have many applications in quantum information science. In this paper, Green functions are derived for spontaneous four-wave mixing in the low- and high-gain regimes. Nondegenerate four-wave mixing in a strongly-birefringent medium generates signal and idler photons that are associated with only one pair of temporal (Schmidt) modes, for a wi...

In this research we measure some of the optical parameters of Barium Titanate crystal (BaTiO3), such as signal beam gain, coupling constant (exponential gain coefficient), change in index refraction and photorefractive sensitivity, which are very significant for optical data storage. In all experiment, two- wave mixing configuration at 632.8 nm (He- Ne laser) were used. Experimental data f...
متن کاملDirectional infrared emission resulting from cascade population inversion and four-wave mixing in Rb vapor.
Directional infrared emission at 1.37 and 5.23 μm is generated in Rb vapors that are stepwise excited by low-power cw resonant light. The radiation at 5.23 μm originating from amplified spontaneous emission on the 5D(5/2)→6P(3/2) transition and wave mixing consists of forward- and backward-directed components with distinctive spectral and spatial properties. Diffraction-limited light at 1.37 μm...
متن کاملFour-wave mixing in microstructure fiber.
We report what we believe to be the first experimental demonstration of nondegenerate four-wave mixing in a microstructure fiber. The effect of the chi((3)) nonlinearity is enhanced in such a fiber because of the small core area, and we achieve phase matching by operating near the zero-dispersion wavelength (?750 nm) . We have observed parametric gains of more than 13 dB in 6.1-m-long fiber wit...
