Sg. Odoulov et al., PHASE SENSITIVITY OF PARAMETRIC GAIN FOR A SEEDED SUBHARMONIC IN BATIO(3), Journal of the Optical Society of America. B, Optical physics, 11(9), 1994, pp. 1786-1790
We present experimental evidence of the strong sensitivity of the gain
to the phase relation of the input waves for subharmonic generation b
y parametric mixing of orthogonally polarized waves in BaTiO3. A twofo
ld difference between the sensitivity to modulation of the pump-wave p
hase and the sensitivity to modulation of the signal-wave phase is dem
onstrated.
