摘要
In a single 15-mm lithium triborate crystal, operated at high gain and strong diffraction, we obtained the spatial mode locking of the quantum noise, its amplification up to the pump level, and quasisoliton propagation of the mutually trapped beams. Visible pulses of 1 mu J 1.5 ps were converted, with 50% efficiency, into diffraction-limited superfluorescence, tunable in the range 0.67-2.5 mu m.
