Resonance Self-Action and Optical Transient Nutation in Frequency- modulated cw Laser Beams

摘要

By numerical simulation we investigate the non-stationary manifestations and nonlinear dynamics of frequency -modulated cw laser beam propagated in resonance conditions. At modulation periods comparable with the atomic relaxation times the time dependence of the output intensity exhibits the manifestations of the optical transient nutation and resonance self-action effects. In the present paper we analyse the effect of resonance self-action on optical nutation and its dynamical manifestations.
