周期量级激光脉冲在不同密度的原子介质中传播行为的比较

利用不含慢变包络近似和旋波近似的全波Maxwell-Bloch方程组的数值解,研究了周期量级超短激光脉冲在Ladder型三能级原子介质中的传播行为并与在相应的稀疏介质中的情况进行了比较.我们发现,在传播过程中,超短脉冲在稠密介质中的时间演化规律与在稀疏介质中明显不同,而且这种差别将随初始脉冲面积的增大而加大.当初始脉冲面积较小时,在传播过程中,脉冲形状在稀疏介质中只有小的改变而在稠密介质中却有显著的变化.当初始脉冲面积足够大时,在稠密介质中在不同的传播距离处脉冲分裂为不同数量和形状的亚脉冲|在稀疏介质中脉冲形状在传播过程中仍然只有小的改变。产生以上差别的原因在于稠密原子介质中近偶极-偶极(NDD)相互作用导致的局域场修正(LFC) 及比稀疏原子介质更强的极化电场的影响.其中,更强的极化电场的影响起着主要的作用,但局域场修正的作用也不能忽略,而极化电场的增强是由于原子密度的增加.

Effects of Lorentz local field correction on propagation properties of few-cycle pulse in dense Λ-type atomic medium

By solving numerically the full Maxwell-Bloch equations without the slowly varying envelope approximation and the rotating-wave approximation, we investigate the effects of Lorentz local field correction (LFC) on the propagation properties of few-cycle laser pulse in a dense Λ-type three-level atomic medium. We find that: when the area of the input pulse is larger, split of pulse occurs and the number of the sub-pulses with LFC is larger than that without LFC; at the same distance, the time interval between the first sub-pulse and the second sub-pulse in the case without LFC is longer than that with LFC, the time of pulse appearing in the case without LFC is later than that in the case with LFC, and the two phenomena are more obvious with propagation distance increasing; time evolution rules of the populations of levels |1>, |2> and |3> in the two cases with and without LFC are much different. When the area of the input pulse is smaller, effects of LFC on time evolutions of the pulse and populations are remarkably smaller than those in the case of larger area pulse.     

Effect of Lorentz local field correction on propagation of ultrashort laser pulse in one-dimensional para-nitroaniline (PNA) molecules

This paper investigates the effect of Lorentz local field correction (LFC) on the propagation of ultrashort laser pulses in a para-nitroaniline molecular medium under resonant and nonresonant conditions by solving numerically the full-wave Maxwell-Bloch equations beyond slowly-varying envelope approximation and rotating-wave approximation. The effect of the LFC is considerably obvious when pulses with large areas propagate in the dense molecular medium. In the case of resonance,the group velocity of the sub-pulses split from the incident pulse along propagation is severely decreased by the LFC,especially for the latest sub-pulse. However,in the case of nonresonance,the influence of the LFC on the temporal evolution of the pulse is less obvious and lacks homogeneity with an increase in incident pulse area,propagation distance and molecular density.     

Comparison of effects of relative carry-envelope phase on two-color few cycle pulses propagating in dense and dilute lambda-type mediums

In this paper we compared effects of relative carry-envelope phase (RCEP) of two-color few cycle pulses on propagation behavior and spectral property under the single-photon resonant condition in the dense and dilute lambda-type three-level atomic mediums. It is found that, in the dense medium, with propagation distance increasing, the compound pulse of the two-color few cycle pulses will split into two or three sub-pulses with different amplitudes and shapes, or does not split, and this is completely determined by value size of RCEP; with value of RCEP decreasing, range and strength of the spectrum (particularly the higher spectral components) increase obviously, the highest frequency is about eight times of the resonance frequency. In the corresponding dilute medium, effect of RCEP on propagating behavior and spectral property is much different from that in the dense medium; specially with value of RCEP decreasing, spectral strength increasing is evident but spectral range not, the highest frequency of the spectrum is only about two times of the resonance frequency.     

Optical fibre-grating pulse compression

Numerical simulation is used to consider non-linear pulse propagation in fibres and subsequent pulse compression in a dispersive delay line. It is shown that for small initial pulse powers the conventional non-linear Schrödinger equation (NSE) is quite accurate to describe the process of pulse propagation in fibres. In this case initially symmetrical pulses undergo squaring and spectral broadening in fibres, and frequency chirp is linearized over most of the pulse, while shapes of the pulse, spectrum and frequency chirp remain symmetrical at the output of the fibre. There is a certain optimum fibre lengthZ _opt which is determined by the initial pulse parameters and fibre characteristics for pulse compression in the dispersive delay line. When the fibre lengthZ>Z _opt the optical wave breaking effect distorts the linearity of the frequency chirp and thus deteriorates the quality of the compressed pulse. The region of NSE approximation accuracy is determined. It is demonstrated that at increase of the initial pulse power (initial pulse width makes no difference) the NSE approximation becomes inaccurate. So the pulse dynamics in the fibre were described by the modified NSE derived in the higher-order approximation of the method of slowly varying amplitudes from Maxwell's equations. In this case the shock wave appears at the trailing edge of the pulse, which accelerates the wave breaking process. This results in a decrease of the optimum fibre length and deterioration of compressed pulse parameters, compared with the NSE case. Spectral windowing of the extreme Stokes components of the pulse spectrum permits significant improvement in the quality of the compressed pulse. The main features of the compression of pulses with asymmetrical initial shape are also considered.     

Ultrashort optical pulse in an order-disorder ferroelectric in the presence of a lattice of defects

The dynamics of an ultrashort optical pulse in an order-disorder ferroelectric in the presence of a lattice of defects is considered within the microscopic pseudospin formalism in the unidirectional propagation approximation, without limitations on the pulse power. The effective equations for the electric field amplitude and ferroelectric polarization are obtained and numerically solved. Quasi-soliton modes of ultrashort optical pulse propagation in a system with regular defects are revealed and the dependences on the microscopic Hamiltonian parameters are analyzed. The effect of the parameters of defects of different types on the pulse propagation is revealed.     

Propagation of few-cycle laser pulses through a linear gas medium

We investigate the ultrashort pulse propagation through a linear gas medium by direct solution of the wave equation beyond the often used lowest orders of the dispersion approximation and the assumption of a slowly varying envelope. The dispersion effects and the effective absorption of the pulse energy by the medium are shown to result in a strong dispersive broadening of the initial pulse in the time and space domains. New features of the polarization response of the medium resulting from essentially nonadiabatic ramps of the pulse envelope are found. The possibility of using the two-pulse experimental scheme to partly compensate for the dispersion is discussed.     

Temporal characteristics of few-cycle pulse on- and non-resonance propagating in a ladder-type atomic medium

Time evolution characteristic of few-cycle pulse propagating in a ladder-type atomic medium is investigated. It is shown that, time evolution of few-cycle pulse has significant difference in the both cases on- and non-resonance. In the non-resonant case, if the pulse central frequency is twice as large as medium atomic transition frequency, the pulse form (including carry-envelope phase, pulse duration, oscillation amplitude and frequency) remains unchanging or remains unchanging basically (only carry-envelope phase has some variation) in the propagation process, which means that self-induced transparency (SIT) or approximate transparency phenomenon appears. However, in the resonant case, the pulse form changes obviously in the propagation process. In addition, there is evident difference in the propagating velocity for on- and non-resonance when the pulse area is smaller.
