Abstract:
One of the urgent tasks of modern science is to discover ways of transforming optical radiation into other frequency ranges. Indeed, with the advent of nonlinear optics, it became clear that instead of bulky generators for each range, it is easier to have a compact laser source and a transformer of its radiation spectrum at hand, like using voltage transformers (instead of a set of different power sources) or using gearboxes and a gearbox on a car (instead of a set different engines). The transformation of the radiation spectrum when passing through nonlinear media occurs due to the effects of generation of higher harmonics, parametric effects, stimulated Raman scattering (SRS), self-phase modulation (SPM), etc. The creation of ultrashort pulse lasers has made possible a much more significant transformation of the spectrum, say, into the X-ray (attosecond pulses) and terahertz ranges [1]. These methods have their own specifics. Here we will propose a new, universal method for transforming the spectrum of optical radiation into any other range of electromagnetic waves from gamma to radio radiation.
