Nonlinear interference effects in emission, absorption, and generation spectra

Nonlinear effects in emission and absorption spectra of gaseous systems are considered. It is shown that level splitting can be detected spectroscopically even if it is below the Doppler width. Conditions for distinguishing interference effects from those due to nonequilibrium velocity distribution are determined. In the case of large Doppler broadening the correction for atomic motion is equivalent to the substitution of an "effective immobile atom" for the moving atom ensemble. The spectral manifestation of nonlinear effects is analyzed in detail. The influence of nonlinear interference effects on the generation characteristics in the presence of external field is investigated.

Resonant radiative processes

The frequency correlation properties of the radiation from an atom in a strong field in resonance with neighboring transitions are considered. It is shown that the difference in frequency correlation in two-photon and stepwise processes decreases with increase of the external field. The spectral compositions of the Doppler-broadened resonance scattering and fluorescence are analyzed. It is shown that in these cases the Doppler line width is anisotropic.

Effect of resonance radiative processes on the amplification factor

Optimal conditions to acomplish amplification without inversion in three-level schemes based on quantum nonlinear interference effects are analyzed. Specific features of relaxation processes in optical transitions seting these conditions apart from those in microwave schemes are outlined. Numerical evaluations related to neon 2s_2-2p_4-3s_2 transitions are given.

Shape of the amplification line corresponding to an adjacent transition in a strong field

An analysis is made of the effect of a strong field on the shape of the amplification spectral line for mono-velocity V-type three-level atoms. There are three strong-field contributions, differing in their dependence on the set of relaxation parameters of the medium and on the differences among the populations corresponding to the Raman transitions. An analysis is made of the conditions under which each of the contributions is predominant. The change in the line shape by an intensified external field is found for each case. Neon atoms are discussed as an example. The results are compared with those corresponding to a Maxwellian velocity distribution.
