Cascade parametric light amplification with low-frequency pumping

  • Published:
Journal of Applied Spectroscopy Aims and scope

Cascade parametric amplification in a regular domain structure is examined theoretically taking the variations in phase of all the interacting waves in a dissipative medium into account. Analytic expressions are obtained for the conversion efficiency of the laser energy with low-frequency pumping. The dependence of the parametric amplification efficiency on the number of layers is given. Ways of increasing the frequency conversion efficiency are discussed. The presence of a nonzero input intensity at the sum frequency is found to cause a nonlinear increase in the high-frequency signal at the output of the structure. As the losses of the interacting waves increase, both the frequency conversion efficiency and the optimum domain length decrease.
