Degenerate Four Wave Mixing of Short and Ultrashort Light Pulses

Description: This dissertation presents experimental and theoretical studies of transient degenerate four wave mixing (DFWM) in organic dyes. Chapter 1 is an introduction to DFWM. Chapter 2 describes DFWM experiments that were performed in the gain medium of a dye laser. Chapter 3 presents the theory of DFWM of short pulses in three level saturable media. Chapter 4 presents DFWM experiments of femtosecond pulses in the saturable absorber of a passively modelocked ring dye laser. Chapter 5 presents the theor… more

Investigation of the Linear and Nonlinear Optical Properties of InSb

Description: Highly sensitive magneto-optical techniques have been used to investigate weak linear and nonlinear optical absorption mechanisms in p- and n-type InSb. As a result, new absorption processes involving both impurities and free carriers have been identified and studied in detail. For p-InSb, magneto-optical spectra has been obtained over a wide range of temperatures and photon energies. The spectra obtained at higher sample temperatures are seen to result from combined-resonance transitions of fr… more
