Coherence and Fluctuations in Light-Matter Interactions (Physics)

激光的相干性和涨落现象以及光物质的非线性光学相互作用的实验研究将继续进行。对具有饱和吸收体的激光器的研究将研究光-物质相互作用中的波动现象。该项目增加了一个新的组成部分，用于研究非线性光学过程的不稳定性和波动。这些研究将在次/次谐波产生的过程中进行，重点是电磁场的量子统计特性。这些实验将探索非平衡系统的新运作机制，并将为未来研究简单原子系统与光量子态的相互作用奠定基础。

Experimental studies of coherence and fluctuation phenomena in lasers and nonlinear optical interactions of light matter will continue. Studies of the laser with a saturable absorber will study fluctuation phenomena in light-matter interactions. A new component to the project has been added to study instabilities and fluctuations in nonlinear optical processes. These studies will be carried out in the processes of sub/second harmonic generation with the emphasis on the quantum statistical properties of the electromagnetic field. These experiments will probe novel regimes of operation of nonequilibrium systems and will lay the groundwork for future studies of the interaction of simple atomic systems with quantum states of light.
