A Novel Technique for Resonantly Enhanced Sum-Frequency Generation Involving Rydberg Atomic States
Experimental evidence is presented that demonstrates the usefulness of atomic Rydberg states in resonantly enhanced, nonlinear optical mixing. This work provides verification of a recent prediction that large ...

Bistability and Chaos in Counterpropagating Laser Beams
In this paper we describe experimental observations which demonstrate that multi-stability and chaotic instabilities can occur in cavity-less nonlinear optical systems. In particular, we have experimentally in...

Observation of 30% Continuous-Wave Two-Photon Optical Amplification
Two-photon lasers have intrigued researchers for years because the dynamical behavior of this new class of highly nonlinear oscillator is very different from normal one-photon lasers. Experimental tests of the...

Pulse propagation in a high-gain bichromatically-driven Raman amplifier
Using intense electromagnetic fields, it is now possible to tailor the absorption. amplification, and dispersion properties of multi-level atoms [1]. Dramatic examples include the reduction of the group velocity ...

Dynamics of a two-photon laser
The high degree of temporal coherence of laser light arises from a complex interplay between the fundamental light-matter interactions of absorption, spontaneous emission, and stimulated emission. The coherenc...
