Abstract
Collimated and conical emissions that appear when Yb vapor is illuminated b y light pulses at 262 nm (near the one-photon Yb 6s(2 1)S(0) --> 6s7p P-3(1 ) transition) are experimentally investigated. Conical emission is observed at multiple wavelengths. Parametric and nonparametric nonlinear optical pr ocesses are studied by investigation of the spatial distribution of generat ed light and the efficiency of light generation as a function of the incide nt light frequency.
