利用由时域有限差分法和预估校正法求得全波Maxwell-Bloch方程的数值解,研究少周期超短激光脉冲在Ladder型三能级原子介质中传播时脉冲及介质粒子布居的空间分布.结果表明,脉冲及介质粒子布居的空间分布规律随脉冲面积的改变而发生明显的变化.当脉冲面积较小时,脉冲形状不规则,振荡次数较多;当脉冲面积较大时,脉冲形状变得较为规则,振荡次数明显减少.随着脉冲面积的增大,脉冲振幅和传播速度逐渐增大,各能级粒子布居振荡次数增多,不同时刻的脉冲和粒子布居空间分布的变化明显减小.粒子布居的空间分布与脉冲的空间分布密切相关.
With numerical solution of full Maxwell-Bloch equations obtained by finite-difference time-domain method and iterative predictor-corrector method,spatial distributions of pulse and populations of few-cycle laser pulse propagates in a ladder-type three-level atomic medium are investigated.It shows that,spatial distributions changes evidently with pulse area.As the pulse area is smallr,the pulse shape is irregular and oscillation time increases.As the pulse area is large,the pulse shape becomes relatively regular and oscillation times decreases evidently.With increasing of pulse area,amplitude and group velocity of pulse increase progressively,oscillation times of populations increase gradually and variation of spatial distributions of the pulse and populations at different moments decreases considerably.Moreover,spatial distribution of populations correlates closely to spatial distribution of the pulse.
