Theoretical Studies of a Transient Stimulated Raman Amplifier

摘要

This final report summarizes Science Applications International Corporation's performance on contract no. N00014-86-C-2341 for the Naval Research Laboratory. Our principle deliverable, the codes RAM2D1 and PRAM1 have been completed on schedule and run successfully. Their operation is described in detail in this report as well as their application to cases of experimental importance. We have also carried out a number of analytical calculations in order to obtain greater insight into the code operation and the experiments and to make predictions in regimes of possible experimental interest which have not yet been explored. Some of these calculations were carried out in collaboration with Dr. John Reintjes of the Naval Research Laboratory. These calculations are summarized in this report. Relevant publications and presentations are also included. Keywords include: Stimulated raman, Nonlinear optics, Light amplification, and Light propagation.
