The influence of pump beam polarization on the signal beam, in TWM in photorefractive crystals: Transmission geometry

Two-wave mixing (TWM) in transmission geometry of photorefractive (PR) crystals of 23 symmetry such as BSO, BGO is investigated by solving a set of coupled wave equations and taking their optical activity as one of the effective parameter. Coupled wave equations are solved numerically by fourth order Runge-kutta method and results are presented in graphical form. The effects of various parameters such as crystal thickness, optical activity, coupling coefficient, absorption, and input polarization angle of pump beam has been studied on the input beam polarization components. It has been observed that by varying the behaviour of pump beam polarization, signal beam can be modified. This can be used in various applications such as spatial light modulation and optical information processing, etc.

Elastic boundary conditions in the presence of the flexoelectric effect

Boundary conditions for the equations of the theory of elasticity modified by the presence of the flexoelectric effect have been obtained. It has been shown that these conditions do not generally coincide with the boundary conditions of the standard theory of elasticity. In particular, stresses that are proportional to the product of the polarization and surface curvature appear on the surface. Due to the boundary conditions, the uniform polarization deforms the crystal, although this polarization does not enter into the three-dimensional equations of equilibrium.

Light propagation in a strong external magnetic field with regard to quantum corrections

Linearized motion equations for electromagnetic wave field in the external magnetic field have been solved for the PVLAS experiment configuration within the low-energy approximation of quantum electrodynamics. It has been shown that the wave propagation velocity depends on the initial direction of the plane of wave polarization. Dispersion laws corresponding to the waves with mutually perpendicular directions of polarization have been established. The dependence of ellipticity of laser radiation field on initial polarization and the value of the external magnetic field has been obtained. The ellipticity parameter for the configuration of the system used in the PVLAS experiment has been found.     

Generation of acoustic solitons by a single-mode electromagnetic field

Mechanisms of acoustic pulse generation by a single-mode electromagnetic field propagating in a photoelastic material are analyzed. The anisotropy induced by acoustic excitations in an isotropic medium leads to nonlinear coupling between the polarization components of a single-mode electromagnetic field. For different conditions, it is shown that the acoustic-electromagnetic wave interaction due to mixing of the polarization components of light and acoustic waves can give rise to soliton-like coherent acoustic excitations in a thin crystal plate. When spatial dispersion is ignored, the governing system of equations for unidirectional acoustic solitons can be reduced to an integrable model. It is shown that qualitatively different scenarios of formation of acoustic solitons are possible, depending on the directions of deformation and field polarization.     

Group Representation of Relativistic Quantum Crystal Optics

A group representation of radiation propagation in an anisotropic medium is developed. The system of wave equations for electromagnetic potentials, obtained from the Maxwell equations with account for the constitutive equations, has been factorized. It is shown that the linear differential operator of the factorized system is orthogonal in transparent crystals and unitary in gyrotropic ones and is represented through the momentum operator. On the basis of the commutation relations for the components of this operator, the eigenvalue problem has been solved and the expression for the change in the radiant energy in the crystal in the form of spherical waves has been obtained. The dependences of the ray and phase velocities and the polarization vectors of waves on the birefringence anisotropy and gyrotropy as well as on the angular momentum, displacement current, and bound charge determining them have been analyzed. It has been established that in the general case of gyrotropic crystals where the nonreciprocity phenomenon takes place and in magnetoelectrics Maxwell equations are represented in a form similar to the Dirac equations and the electromagnetic radiation is correctly described by means of bispinors and is quantized as fermions.     

Detection of the contribution of the inverse flexoelectric effect to the photorefractive response in a bismuth titanium oxide single crystal

Relations determining the contribution of the inverse flexoelectric effect to the photorefractive response have been determined for the case of the interaction of a steady pump wave conserving left-hand circular polarization with a phase-modulated signal wave that has circular polarization of the opposite sign on the input face of a crystal that has the (100) orientation and symmetry group 23. The experimental studies of such an interaction in a Bi₁₂TiO₂0:Fe,Cu crystal make it possible to estimate its flexoelectric coefficient as f ₁₁ = 5.3 nC/m.     

Four-wave mixing of quasi-monochromatic waves and few-cycle pulses

Four-wave coherent mixing models for two quasi-monochromatic pumping fields and pulses of a two-component Stokes field with an elliptic polarization and a duration on the order of the period of oscillations have been derived for a two-level medium with a forbidden dipole transition. It is shown that, under the unidirectional wave propagation conditions and in the absence of depletion of pumping, the system of Maxwell-Bloch equations can be reduced to a new completely integrable system of equations. Nonsoliton radiation dynamics of generation of Stokes field pulses is studied in the framework of the integrable reduction of this model. The apparatus for the inverse problem algorithm corresponding to the solvable problem is developed. An approximate asymptotic expression for the leading front of the pulse packet being generated is obtained for various initial and boundary conditions. The application of these results for describing parametric processes involving various types of waves is discussed.

Wide-angle beam splitting by use of positive-negative refraction in photonic crystals

We present a positive-negative refraction effect in which, under certain conditions, an incident plane wave launched into a photonic crystal excites a positive-refracted Bloch wave and a negative-refracted Bloch wave simultaneously, both of which maintain the polarization. By utilizing this phenomenon, wide-angle beam splitting can be realized at the microscale level. Numerical simulations are employed to demonstrate this anomalous refraction behavior.

Nonlinear polarization response of a gaseous medium in the regime of atom stabilization in a strong radiation field

The nonlinear polarization response of a quantum system modeling a silver atom in the field of high-intensity radiation in the IR and UV spectral ranges has been studied by direct numerical integration of a nonstationary Schrödinger equation. The domains of applicability of perturbation theory and polarization expansion in powers of the field intensity are determined. The contribution of excited atoms and electrons in a continuum to the atomic polarization response at the field frequency, which arises due to the radiation-induced excitation and photoionization processes, is analyzed. Features of the nonlinear response to an external field under conditions of atom stabilization are considered.

Effect of single wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) on electro-optical performance of a ferroelectric liquid crystal (FLC) has been studied. Voltage dependent spontaneous polarization and response time measurement has been made for the pure and SWCNT doped FLC system. Dielectric measurement has also been performed to understand the existing interaction between SWCNTs and FLC molecules. The results have shown increase in the value of spontaneous polarization and relative permittivity with slight slower response for the doped system. The observed properties of doped system revealed that the SWCNTs can perform well with FLC at low applied electric field to enhance the performance of LC devices.
