and phonon-like) has been substantially developed [1] [2]. For instance, the theory of exciton-polaritons provides the successful explanation of physical phenomena in microcavities, which is essential for the design of polariton lasers [3] [4]. The of complex semiconductor layer structures is related with the theory of plasmon-polaritons [5] [6]. The progress in infrared spec- troscopy of ionic crystals is based on theory of phonon-polaritons [7] [8] [9]. Surface polaritons are considered in details in [10]. However, given the com- plexity of the equations simulating multi- processes in nonlinear media and accepted simplifications (the method of slowly-varying amplitudes, the giv- en field approximation, phase capture, etc.) some results still remain unforeseen [11] [12] [13] [14]. In this paper, we made an attempt to obtain and solve the system of equations that would properly describe the processes of nonstationary SRS in ionic crystals by phonon-polaritons. The Section 2 of our paper is based on technique developed in [15] where the equations for the “nonresonant” am- plitude of probabilities to find the particle at certain level were approximate

whereas the equations for the “resonant” amplitudes of probabilities a1 and a2 were exact. Despite the fact that the obtained system was cumbersome, we ma- naged to bring it to the compact form. In Section 3, we have compared the theo- retical and experimental gain factors [16]-[25]. In Section 4, we found the sim- plified system of equations, showed that this system corresponds to the extreme cases studied previously (see [26] [27]), and reduced the system to Sine-Gordon equation [28]. The numerical analysis of the system has been carried out as well.

2. Basic Principles and Equations

In this paper we assume that two optical pulses with frequencies ω1 (the fre-

quency of laser pump) and ω2 (that of Stokes) propagate in crystal at the an- gles θ1,2 with respect to z-axis, which is perpendicular to the input surface of

the medium. The laser wave ω1 and Stokes ω2 during SRS generate

ω312= ωω − as well as the polar optical phonon ωωf ≡ 21 in the vicinity of

which falls ω3 (ωω3= 21 +∆ ω) .

We apply the standard equations for the amplitude of probability ak of

finding the system in state with energy Ek [29] [30]: ∂ ak iwkl t i = ∑e,Vakl l (1) ∂t l

Φ=mmmωϕt − kz + , Φmm = −Φ− , εεmm= − ,

µkl is the dipole moment of the transition kl→ ; ωεmmm,,k and ϕm are the frequencies, z-components of wave vectors, real “slowly-varying amplitudes”,

and phases of the interacting waves, accordingly; αkl′ is the tensor of the com- binational scattering.

Then we use (1) to find al (l ≠ 1, 2 ) .

3. Gain Factor G

Such significant characteristics of crystals as the dispersion relation and damp- ing of phonon-polaritons have been the subject of many both theoretical and experimental investigations in recent years. For instance, the experimental me- thods used in these studies include the impulsive SRS and transient grating ex- periments with femtosecond pulses [16] [17], and coherent anti-Stokes Raman Scattering (CARS) with picosecond pulses [18]. The information on the damp- ing of polaritons is contained in Raman linewidth, which can be obtained from the stimulated gain curve [19]. This method was successfully applied in [20], where the two-beam amplifier experiment SRS gain measurements were per- −1 formed in LiNbO3 for the polariton frequencies ranging from 30 to 230 cm . The measurements were carried out at liquid-nitrogen temperature in doped

congruent LiNbO3 and undoped nearly stoichiometric LiNbO3. It was the com- parison of doped and nearly stoichiometric crystals which provided new infor- mation on the number and type of low-frequency excitations determining the polariton damping over almost complete frequency range. Now we show that our equations are consistent with the experimental results presented in [20]. The theoretical treatment of the gain factor for SRS by polari- tons is based on the solutions of the coupled wave equations for the Stokes and polariton fields. In quasi-stationary case, in absence of phase modulation of any

kind, and given pump field, the system of equations for the ε 2 (Stokes) and ε3 (polariton) can be reduced to the following (see (11) and (13)): ∂ε 1 ωω22 2 =−−2*ssε ε χεε ikss22 2 i s13 (15) ∂zk2 s c2 kcs

22 ∂ε 11ωωpp 3 =−−ik2*ε ε i χ εε (16) ∂ pp223 p12 zk22ppcck

ωsp, where kn= , ε are the constants, χ are the nonlinear sp,,c sp sp, sp, coefficients. This system is the part of more complex system considered in [21]. When we assume that there is exponential amplification of the electromagnetic field with a gain factor G and after the insertion of the electromagnetic fields 1 Gz 2 s expressed as Asp, e into (15) and (16) we get the expression for G as

ν s 1 22 G ≈ χε′′ 1 , (17) nspε ′′

which is completely consistent with the expression of the gain given in [20] and [22]. Therefore, the gain factor is related to the dielectric function of the crystal, which contains the damping of the polariton.

all amplitudes of electromagnetic waves are real (ϕ1,2,3 = 0) and the waves are synchronous (θ ≈ 0) . Only low-order nonlinear processes are considered. The simplified system can be written as follows: ∂n 2 =(µε + 2, α′ ε ε ) P (19) ∂t  3 12 2 ∂P 1 2 =−+(µε2, α′ ε ε )n (20) ∂t 2 3 12

5. Conclusions

In this paper we have found the following: 1) The system of Equations (6)-(14) that models the processes of nonstatio- nary SRS by polaritons in nonlinear media consisting of polar optical phonons is obtained; 2) It has been shown that the frequency dependence of the gain factor of the Stokes matches with the experimental results; 3) The simplified system of Equations (19)-(23) (for real amplitudes of all electromagnetic waves and “low-order” nonlinear processes); 4) It is shown that the latter system could be reduced to either case of purely combinational interaction (the nonstationary SRS by nonpolar phonons ( µ = 0 )) or the classical case of nonlinear resonant (but not combinational ( α′ = 0 )) in- teraction (including “area theorem”) between the electromagnetic field and sys- tem; 5) It is also shown that (19)-(23) could be reduced to the standard Sine-Gordon equation; 6) The conditions at which the system (19)-(23) becomes the equation of the motion of physical pendulum; 7) The numerical analysis of (19)-(23) has indicated the possibility of effective conversion to infrared radiation, which could be useful for the design of wide- band frequency converters.
