Stimulated Raman Scattering and Four-Wave Mixing: Steady-State Plane-Wave Analytic Solutions

摘要

The equations for plane-wave steady-state propagation of n fields interacting via four wave processes in a Raman medium have been known since at least 1962. Complete analytic solutions have only been found for the process of harmonic generation. However, solutions have been obtained in the gain regime assuming zero pump depletion. Assuming all fields satisfy the phase matching condition, general analytic solutions to these equations have been found. The solutions are complete in that they describe both pump depletion and saturation. Some example problems will be studied. (ERA citation 06:022776)
