A. Piskarskas et al., 4-PHOTON PARAMETRIC SUPERFLUORESCENCE IN SODIUM VAPOR UNDER MULTIBEAMNONCOLLINEAR PUMPING, Optics communications, 134(1-6), 1997, pp. 80-84
The results of an investigation of four-photon parametric superfluores
cence under single-pass multibeam noncollinear pumping of the 3D sodiu
m level are presented. A significant improvement of the spatial cohere
nce of four-photon parametric superfluorescence was experimentally obs
erved. The angular structure of the parametric superfluorescence excit
ed by a Bessel beam pump is discussed.
