Generation of multiplexed harmonics at interaction of multi-harmonic light beams in dielectric media with induced plasma

Abstract

A significant number of papers investigate a propagation of intense two-color beam through air in conditions when inharmonic oscillations of valence electrons convert to a plasma nonlinearity. This paper extends the scope of analysis, examining more complex combinations of synchronized beams propagating through dielectric media: triple beam and a beam combined with quazi-static field. It is shown that adding a third harmonic to a mix of first and second ones does not show principal changes in interaction picture: all phenomena appear to be described well before. But adding a static field to an interaction scene shows new peculiarities in redistribution of pulse spectrum energy to infra-red wing of optical range.
