Mirrorless parametric oscillator inside an all-optical waveguide
Abstract
We report the demonstration of mirrorless optical parametric oscillator under the effect of an all-optical waveguide. The efficient four-wave mixing process due to counter-propagating pump and control fields interacting with a multilevel atomic system facilitates the generation of mirrorless stokes and anti-stokes fields counter-propagating to each other. The maximum generated laser power could rise up to mW with pump conversion efficiency more than 30%. Furthermore, the cross-phase modulation due to the pump field creates an all-optical waveguide for the generated fields and hence induces different spatial modes in stokes as well as anti-stokes fields. With suitable experimental parameters, we could generate correlated Gaussian mode or Laguerre-Gaussian mode for both the generated fields.
