Influence of the medium nonlinearity on the reflection of monochromatic and pulsed radiation

Resumo

The features of Gaussian pulse reflection from a nonlinear medium with the resonance frequency dependence of permittivity are investigated. The results of numerical analysis of the equations describing the light-field distribution in reflected pulses with s and p polarizations are presented. The influence of the intensity, incidence angle, carrier frequency, and incident-pulse duration on the reflected pulse envelope shape is discussed.
