Influence of pump polarization on threshold of four-photon parametric stimulated generation of light in gases

Yu. A. Il'inskii, V. D. Taranukhin


Abstract: A theoretical analysis is made of the polarization characteristics of the four-photon parameteric generation of stimulated radiation in gases. It is shown that the parametric threshold can be increased severalfold by selecting the optimal pump polarization and the most effective resonance levels.
