级联二阶非线性法布里-珀罗谐振腔特性分析

在小信号近似下,得出了级联二阶过程的表达式。利用该式的有效三阶极化率的表达式,讨论了存在二阶非线性光学晶体的法－珀谐振腔的非线性光学特性。分析表明,由于谐振腔的存在,通过非线性晶体的功率密度超过入射功率密度几十倍以上,因而产生较大的、随相位失配变化的非线性相位漂移。当相位失配接近２π时,获得基叔光的最大相位漂移。该最大相位漂移对应的相位失配随着入射功率密度、非线性晶体的地阶极化率和晶体长度而变化。     

Effective Raman Theory for a Three-Level Atom in the V-Configuration

It is shown that the system of a three-level atom coupled with two modes of quantized cavity fields in the V-configuration with arbitrary detunings can be exactly reduced to a two-level system with a nonsingular effective coupling which depends nonlinearly on the intensity of the two cavity fields. By performing a unitary transformation, we obtain an exact transformed Hamiltonian in which one of the three levels is decoupled for all values of the detunings including the zero-detuning. We also present the analytical expressions of energy eigenvdues and eigenvectors, evolution operator, time-varying atomic inversion operator and photon number operators of the two modes for the effective two-level model.     

Understanding and controlling laser intensity noise

We present unified theoretical expressions for laser intensity noise in the presence of injection locking and feedback. We discuss optimum control strategies for different configurations and frequency regions. We illustrate the various effects with experimental results from Nd : YAG non-planar ring oscillator lasers.     

Asymptotic behaviour and general properties of harmonic generation susceptibilities

We use the Kubo response function formalism to derive the asymptotic behaviour of the harmonic generation susceptibilities to all orders n. The results show a stringent correspondence with the ones previously obtained from the classical anharmonic oscillator model. They are characterized by a dependence and a coefficient proportional to the trace of the (n+1)th derivative of the potential energy on the equilibrium density matrix. Using the above results we derive new Kramers-Kr?nig relations and sum rules for all orders of harmonics susceptibilities. Received 17 April 2000     

Entangling atoms in photonic crystals

We propose a method for entangling a system of two-level atoms in photonic crystals. The atoms are assumed to move in void regions of a photonic crystal. The interaction between the atoms is mediated either via a defect mode or via a resonant dipole-dipole interaction. We show that these interactions can produce pure entangled atomic states. We analyze the problem with parameters typical for currently existing photonic crystals and Rydberg atoms and we show that the atoms can emerge from photonic crystals in entangled states. Depending on the linear dimensions of the crystal we estimate that a pair of atoms entangled in a photonic crystal can be separated by tens of centimeters.

Lie-optics, geometrical phase and nonlinear dynamics of self-focusing and soliton evolution in a plasma

It is useful to state propagation laws for a self-focusing laser beam or a soliton in group-theoretical form to be called Lie-optical form for being able to predict self-focusing dynamics conveniently and amongst other things, the geometrical phase. It is shown that the propagation of the gaussian laser beam is governed by a rotation group in a non-absorbing medium and by the Lorentz group in an absorbing medium if the additional symmetry of paraxial propagation is imposed on the laser beam. This latter symmetry, however, needs care in its implementation because the electromagnetic wave of the laser sees a different refractive index profile than the laboratory observer in this approximation. It is explained how to estimate this non-Taylor paraxial power series approximation. The group theoretical laws so-stated are used to predict the geometrical or Berry phase of the laser beam by a technique developed by one of us elsewhere. The group-theoretical Lie-optic (or ABCD) laws are also useful in predicting the laser behavior in a more complex optical arrangement like in a laser cavity etc. The nonlinear dynamical consequences of these laws for long distance (or time) predictions are also dealt with. Ergodic dynamics of an ensemble of laser beams on the torus during absorptionless self-focusing is discussed in this context. From the point of view of new physics concepts, we introduce a stroboscopic invariant torus and a stroboscopic generating function in classical mechanics that is useful for long-distance predictions of absorptionless self-focusing.

Optimization of plasma-deposited silicon oxinitride films for optical channel waveguides

In view of applications of SiO_xN_y thin films in MOEMS technology, a study of the optomechanical characteristics of the PECVD deposited material are investigated. To optimize the quality of SiO_xN_y layers we establish the relationship between the chemical properties, optical performances, micromechanical stress, and growth parameters of deposited films. To use the SiO_xN_y thin film for the core layer of a strip-loaded waveguide, we propose preparation conditions of SiO_xN_y that offer a low-loss optical waveguide with well-controlled refractive index, based on a low-internal stress multilayer structure.
