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...

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...

The Two-Photon Laser
We explain in simple terms the behavior of two-photon lasers and describe recent results that have lead to the realization of the first continuous-wave two-photon optical laser. We stress the differences betwe...

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...
