Properties of dark solitons under SBS in focused beams
- P N Lebedev Physical Institute, Russian Academy of Sciences, Moscow (Russian Federation)
Using the method of four-wave probing of the waist of the laser beam focused into the bulk of a short active medium (L || {tau}c, where L is the length of the active medium, {tau} is the pulse duration, and c is the speed of light), we have studied the dynamics of the behaviour of a dark soliton, appearing upon a jump of the input Stokes signal phase by about {pi} under SBS. The computer simulation has shown that when spontaneous noises with the gain increment {Gamma}, exceeding the self-reflection threshold by 2 - 3 times, are generated, the dark soliton propagates along the interaction region for the time t Almost-Equal-To T{sub 2}{Gamma}{sub th}/2, where T{sub 2} is the the lifetime of acoustic phonons, and {Gamma}{sub th} = 25 - 30 is the stationary threshold gain increment.
