AI Article Synopsis
- This study is the first to observe a nonlinear mode in a cylindrical nonlinear Fabry-Perot cavity.
- The presence of high field enhancement from the cavity and significant optical nonlinearity from (85)Rb vapor enables this mode to appear at low optical power levels under 1 mW.
- The nonlinear mode is detected in situations of both self-focusing and self-defocusing nonlinearity.
Article Abstract
We report what is believed to be the first observation of a nonlinear mode in a cylindrical nonlinear Fabry-Perot cavity. The field enhancement from cavity buildup, as well as the large chi((3)) optical nonlinearity that is due to resonantly excited (85)Rb vapor, allows the nonlinear mode to form at low incident optical powers of less than 1 mW. The mode is observed to occur for both self-focusing and self-defocusing nonlinearity.
