14. Four-wave parametric oscillation: theory and observations

Author

Abstract

We present theoretically and experimentally a novel type of parametric fluorescence and oscillation in which four optical waves in off-axis, diagonal directions simultaneously build up under resonant counterpropagating pump-laser excitation in atomic sodium vapor. Two of the four are anti-Stokes shifted and the other two are Stokes shifted, and they are strongly coupled owing to electromagnetically induced diffraction. Theoretically, the Liouville-Maxwell equations are solved to derive four-wave propagation equations. Experimentally, we have observed four-wave parametric oscillation when a weak off-axis seed beam is introduced into otherwise axially symmetric parametric fluorescence patterns. Temporal waveforms are also analyzed, and strong correlations between any pairs of the four emissions are identified.
