Oscillations in nonlinear transmission of a rarefied resonant gas - a manifestation of optical nutation under steady-state conditions
Vartanyan T.A.
A new nonlinear optical effect is predicted. This effect involves a modulation of the intensity of a stationary monochromatic plane wave which propagates from the boundary surface into a rarefied resonant gas. The amplitude and spatial modulation period depend on the intensity and frequency of light.
