Quantum-optical Description of Phase Conjugation of Vector Vortex Beams in Stimulated Parametric Down Conversion
arXiv:2005.01855 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevApplied.14.024048
Abstract
We present a quantum optics approach for describing stimulated parametric down conversion in the two type-I crystal "sandwich" configuration, which allows for parametric interaction of vector vortex beams. We analyze the conditions for which phase conjugation of the seed vector beam occurs. We then use two strategies for defining generalized Stokes parameters to describe phase conjugation of vector vortex beams. These allow for geometrical representations, such as higher-order Poincaré spheres. Our results are useful for description and design of stimulated and spontaneous parametric down conversion experiments with vector vortex beams.
