Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The physical analogy between nonlinear optical dynamics and quantum mechanical systems, receiving growing attention in recent years, often leads to discoveries of new phenomena and solutions to existing challenges in nonlinear optical systems, not to mention the excitement scientists feel when unifying topics that were seemingly unrelated. More specifically, the coupled nonlinear interaction between two classical or quantum waves with non-degenerate frequencies, with one or more co-existing classical pump waves, is analogous to a coupled quantum two-state system. The two systems also share a common problem: the varying dispersion in optical nonlinear interaction, a universal obstacle in broadband optical frequency conversion, is analogous to the ensemble inhomogeneity in quantum two-state systems, which is preventing full population transition in resonance. Fortunately, the latter system has a well-established solution: rapid adiabatic passage, which can achieve full-population inversion despite the ensemble impurity. Thus motivated, an exciting research concept to overcome such challenge was examined in the recent decade: rapid adiabatic passage (RAP) in optical three-wave mixing (TWM). Realized through a slow dispersion sweep in quadratic electric susceptibility $\chi^{(2)}$ nonlinear media, RAP in TWM has demonstrated spectacular capability of reaching over 90\% adiabatic inversion of photon population over octave-spanning pulses, while also achieving phase and amplitude shaping over the entire bandwidth. Such exquisite concept, if achievable in cubic electric susceptibility $\chi^{(3)}$ nonlinear media, can not only greatly expand the selection of nonlinear platforms for broadband frequency conversion, but solve challenges in many crucial applications of $\chi^{(3)}$ nonlinear process. The works of my PhD are thus motivated to probe into the theory, numerical study, experimental observation, and many future possibilities of RAP in optical four-wave mixing (FWM). The story of this thesis, same as most scientific discoveries and technological inventions, were born from a simple question: is RAP possible in optical FWM? From there, we first derive the coupled two-level system equations from nonlinear Schr\"{o}dinger equations for optical FWM. Delicate, yet fundamental findings can be discovered for the concept even from its skeleton form. Meanwhile, realistic numerical simulations were crafted as comprehensively as possible to model the feasibility of our theory. We then thoroughly examine potential platforms, ranging from low-energy step-index fibers to high-flux hollow core fiber. Results indicate that, due to its fundamental nature, RAP in optical FWM can be realized in essentially all cubic nonlinear platforms. Next, we experimentally demonstrate this concept using a highly-nonlinear photonic crystal fiber. Our proof-of-concept experiment is the first observation of RAP in optical FWM, with results closely follow our theoretical and numerical predictions. Lastly, we summarize some interesting yet unpublished investigations on potential platforms, which reveal promising applications and sometimes even new physics.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book appears at a time of intense activity in optical phase conjugation. We chose not to await the maturation of the field, but instead to provide this material in time to be useful in its development. We have tried very hard to elucidate and interrelate the various nonlinear phenomena which can be used for optical phase conjugation.

This book was released on 2011-09-29 with total page 587 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The use of laser pulses to alter the internal quantum structure of individual atoms and molecules has applications in quantum information processing, the coherent control of chemical reactions and in quantum-state engineering. This book presents the underlying theory of such quantum-state manipulation for researchers and graduate students. The book provides the equations, and approaches for their solution, which can be applied to complicated multilevel quantum systems. It also gives the background theory for application to isolated atoms or trapped ions, simple molecules and atoms embedded in solids. Particular attention is given to the ways in which quantum changes can be displayed graphically to help readers understand how quantum changes can be controlled.

Download or read book Nonlinear Optical Waves written by A.I. Maimistov and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-03-09 with total page 668 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A non-linear wave is one of the fundamental objects of nature. They are inherent to aerodynamics and hydrodynamics, solid state physics and plasma physics, optics and field theory, chemistry reaction kinetics and population dynamics, nuclear physics and gravity. All non-linear waves can be divided into two parts: dispersive waves and dissipative ones. The history of investigation of these waves has been lasting about two centuries. In 1834 J. S. Russell discovered the extraordinary type of waves without the dispersive broadening. In 1965 N. J. Zabusky and M. D. Kruskal found that the Korteweg-de Vries equation has solutions of the solitary wave form. This solitary wave demonstrates the particle-like properties, i. e. , stability under propagation and the elastic interaction under collision of the solitary waves. These waves were named solitons. In succeeding years there has been a great deal of progress in understanding of soliton nature. Now solitons have become the primary components in many important problems of nonlinear wave dynamics. It should be noted that non-linear optics is the field, where all soliton features are exhibited to a great extent. This book had been designed as the tutorial to the theory of non-linear waves in optics. The first version was projected as the book covering all the problems in this field, both analytical and numerical methods, and results as well. However, it became evident in the process of work that this was not a real task.

This book was released on 1995-06-29 with total page 1137 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the first stimulated emission pumping (SEP) experiments more than a decade ago, this technique has proven powerful for studying vibrationally excited molecules. SEP is now widely used by increasing numbers of research groups to investigate fundamental problems in spectroscopy, intramolecular dynamics, intermolecular interactions, and even reactions. SEP provides rotationally pre-selected spectra of vibrationally highly excited molecules undergoing large amplitude motions. A unique feature of SEP is the ability to access systematically a wide variety of extreme excitations localized in various parts of a molecule, and to prepare populations in specific, high vibrational levels. SEP has made it possible to ask and answer specific questions about intramolecular vibrational redistribution and the role of vibrational excitation in chemical reactions.
