Efficient microwave-induced optical frequency conversion

Frequency conversion process is studied in a medium of atoms with a configuration of levels, where transition between two lower states is driven by a microwave field. In this system, conversion efficiency can be very high by virtue of the effect of electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT). Depending on intensity of the microwave field, two regimes of EIT are realized: “dark-state” EIT for the weak field, and Autler-Townes-type EIT for the strong one. We study both cases via analytical and numerical solution and find optimum conditions for the conversion. Received 13 December 1999 and Received in final form 6 March 2000     

Spatio-temporal coupling of laser fluctuations — Observations on a laser with internal frequency conversion

The amplitude of standing wave solid state lasers with frequency conversion inside the resonator can become unstable. We investigated the amplitude fluctuations of an end-pumped Nd:YAG-laser at low pump rates (below 160% threshold pump power) and also above. Detecting the individual mode instabilities separately and comparing them with a theoretical laser model, we can trace the origin of the mechanism leading to the observed fluctuations. At certain well defined discrete pump levels above 160% threshold the instabilities disappear. These stable emission states are associated with particular nonconventional mode patterns, some of them exhibiting a helical phase structure. Based on experimental observations and computer simulations of pump induced resonator aberrations we describe a mechanism for the emergence of the peculiar transversal modes and laser fluctuations.     

Optimization of type-II frequency doubling of spatial and temporal limited laser light in nonlinear crystals

Type-II frequency doubling of short Gaussian laser pulses is studied theoretically. The situation is analysed when the group velocity mismatch and the walk-off angle of the interacting waves limit the frequency conversion efficiency. It is shown that with collinear ‘o’ and ‘e’ polarized fundamental waves a temporal and spatial separation of the fundamental beams is necessary to compensate for both effects. Results of the presented model are discussed for KDP crystals.     

Diode-pumped Yb:KYW femtosecond laser frequency comb with stabilized carrier-envelope offset frequency

We describe the detection and stabilization of the carrier envelope offset (CEO) frequency of a diode-pumped Yb:KYW (ytterbium-doped potassium yttrium tungstate) femtosecond oscillator that is spectrally centered at 1033 nm. The system consists of a diode-pumped, passively mode-locked femtosecond laser that produces 290 fs pulses at a repetition rate of 160 MHz. These pulses are first amplified, spectrally broadened and temporally compressed to 80 fs, and then launched into microstructured fiber to produce an octave-spanning spectrum. An f-2f nonlinear interferometer is employed with the broadened spectrum to detect and stabilize the CEO frequency through feedback to the pump laser current. These results demonstrate that such a Yb-doped tungstate laser can provide an efficient, compact, high-repetition-rate optical frequency comb with coverage from 650–1450 nm.     

Anisotropic laser trapping in nematic colloidal dispersion

The interaction between a colloidal particle and a focused laser beam in a nematic liquid crystal reveals an unusual anisotropic Coulomb-like character. Experiments demonstrate two opposite directions in which the particle is attracted to and repelled from the nematic region deformed by the light-induced director reorientation. In this work we present analytical analysis of such behavior and derive the energy of interaction between colloidal particle and deformed director field. The analytical solution is in good agreement with recent results obtained by computer simulation.     

Nonlinear interference between two sets of frequency conversion processes with widely spaced pump wavelengths in an optical fiber

The processes of nonlinear interaction of two high-power pump waves with widely spaced frequencies are studied in an optical fiber. Substantially increased output power of the Stokes components, generated via stimulated Raman scattering or stimulated four-wave mixing by one of the pump waves have been obtained in the field of the other pump wave and its Stokes components. For the first time the possibility to excited new spectral lines in the spectrum of one of the pump waves with frequency shifts characteristic for the other one, is experimentally demonstrated.     

Contribution of the Nernst potential to stiffness constants: The asymmetrical case

Inside biological membranes, one of the fundamental functions of active proteins such as pumps is to generate some electrochemical gradient across the membrane and then, to establish a new stationary state. The membrane electric potential generated by activity modifies the stiffness constants of the membrane. A spontaneous curvature appears if the inner and outer Debye lengths are different. The corresponding characteristic radius falls in the range from 0.08μm to 50μm. The bending elastic modulus is always increased. This effect is only noticeable in the limit of large Debye length from 0.5μm to 0.09μm. For a Nernst potential of 100mV and a Debye length of 0.2μ m, the bending modulus can reach 40k_BT.
