Coherent and incoherent specular inverse Faraday effect: χ(3) measurements in opaque materials

Coherent and incoherent specular inverse Faraday effect: χ(3) measurements in opaque materials
Coherent and incoherent specular inverse Faraday effect: χ(3) measurements in opaque materials
We report what is to our knowledge the first observation of coherent and incoherent terms of the specular inverse Faraday effect. The specular inverse Faraday effect is treated as a four-wave mixing phenomenon, and the role of the phase-conjugated wave in the polarization-altering interaction is disclosed. Several components of the nonresonant cubic susceptibility tensor in InSb and GaAs are measured and found to be in the 10-7 to 10-6 esu range.

Abstract

We report what is to our knowledge the first observation of coherent and incoherent terms of the specular inverse Faraday effect. The specular inverse Faraday effect is treated as a four-wave mixing phenomenon, and the role of the phase-conjugated wave in the polarization-altering interaction is disclosed. Several components of the nonresonant cubic susceptibility tensor in InSb and GaAs are measured and found to be in the 10-7 to 10-6 esu range.
