Holographic Four-Wave Mixing as a Sturm-Liouville Problem

摘要

The problem of a steady-state degenerate four-wave mixing in nonlinear dynamic media is reduced to a Sturm-Liouville or a one-dimensional quantum-mechanical scattering problem, which is treated exactly. Linear absorption in the medium is accounted for, and laser pump depletion is allowed. No restrictions are placed on the spatial mismatch between light interference fringes and refractive index gratings. Both energy and phase transfers are considered simultaneously. 8 references, 1 figure. (ERA citation 12:029756)
