Group-velocity-matched three-wave mixing in birefringent crystals.

چکیده

It is shown that the combination of pulse-front slant, kappa -vector tilt, and crystal birefringence often permits exact matching of both phase and group velocities for three-wave mixing in birefringent crystals. This exact match makes possible more-efficient mixing of short light pulses, and it permits efficient mixing of chirped or broadband light. I analyze this process and present examples.

Matched ultraslow propagation of highly efficient four-wave mixing in a closely cycled double-ladder system

We present a fully time dependent, adiabatic solution, and steady-state analysis for the ultraslow propagation of the nondegenerate four-wave mixing NDFWM signal and the weak probe beam in a closely-cycled double-ladder system. Under appropriate especially power balance conditions, the two-mode probe and phase-matched NDFWM pulses, after a characteristic propagation length, evolve into a pair o...

Spontaneous Four-wave Mixing in Standard Birefringent Fiber

This thesis presents an experimental implementation and a theoretical investigation of a source of photon-pairs. The source is based on the nonlinear optical interaction of two strong pump pulses in a birefringent single-mode optical fiber. The interaction is mediated by the χ susceptibility of the fiber medium and results in the spontaneous creation of two photons, referred to as the signal an...

Frozen light in periodic metamaterials

Wave propagation in spatially periodic media, such as photonic crystals, can be qualitatively different from any uniform substance. The differences are particularly pronounced when the electromagnetic wavelength is comparable to the primitive translation of the periodic structure. In such a case, the periodic medium cannot be assigned any meaningful refractive index. Still, such features as neg...

Evaluation of date extract on nerve conduction velocity in male rat

Abstract Introduction: neuropathy is a condition in which the peripheral nervous system is disrupted. The study of the effects of antioxidants on the performance improvement of this system is vital. This study was aimed at the investigation of the effects of date extract on nerve conduction velocity, distal latency, and wave height of the sciatic nerve in male rats. Materials and Methods: thi...

All-fiber photon-pair source at telecom wavelengths

Single photon sources are a key element for quantum computing, quantum key distribution (QKD) and quantum communications. In particular, producing single photons at telecommunications wavelengths is valuable for QKD protocols and would enable realizing the quantum internet. The preferred method for their generation has long been spontaneous down conversion in bulk crystals, which suffers from c...
