Polarization-resolved coherent transient beam combination in optical Kerr media

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

We have observed transient, coherent beam combination by degenerate two-wave mixing of frequency-doubled Nd:YAG picosecond laser pulses in carbon disulfide, using a circularly polarized pump wave and a linearly polarized probe beam. The important role of beam polarization is observed, and its part in energy transfer is discussed. A theory that treats polarization effects in transient two-wave mixing is presented, applied to the carbon disulfide experiments, and found to be in excellent agreement with the data.
