Two-coherent-wave coupling in Rhodamine 110-doped boric acid glass solid films

摘要

We report the energy-transfer efficiency in a saturable absorber nonlinear media by two-coherent-wave coupling using the Doppler shift. Intensity-dependent nondegenerate two-beam coupling has been studied in Rhodamine 110-doped boric acid glass films. Two beams have been described in the limit of a weak probe and a relatively strong pump at the wavelength 488 run from a continuous-wave Ar+ laser. The results have been interpreted in terms of the four-level description of a saturable absorber. We obtained good agreement between the experimental and the theoretical results. Estimated values of the nonlinear parameters such as the saturation intensity, refractive index, and the response time of the optical nonlinearity have been obtained at different pump beam intensities for the first time, to our knowledge, in the Rhodamine 110-doped film.
