Three-wave nonlinear optical interactions in dispersive media
Abstract
Three-wave optical interactions in homogeneous nonlinear dispersive media are investigated, with a complementary use of analytic and numerical methods. The main purpose is to investigate the effects of dispersion in the generation of picosecond substructure in optical parametric processes. The existence of the picosecond substructure in the pulse profiles, predicted by the present study, is found to be in good agreement with the experimental observations of Kryukov et al. (1977). Experiments for the generation and detection of such picosecond substructures are proposed.
