ABSTRACT:
The stimulated polariton scattering optical amplifier includes a first control optics assembly, a driver element, a second control optics assembly, a polariton active medium and egressing optics. The first control optics assembly receives an incoming laser beam and adjusts that incoming laser beam in accordance with first desired wavelength, polarization and beam propagation parameters. A driver element produces a driver laser beam. A second control optics assembly receives the driver laser beam and adjusts that driver laser beam in accordance with second desired wavelength, polarization and beam propagation parameters. A polariton active medium receives an output from the first control optics assembly and an output from the second control optics assembly. The polariton active medium provides a non-linear optical interaction between the outputs such that the incoming laser beam is amplified, producing an amplified polariton active medium output laser beam and a depleted driver laser beam. Egressing optics receives the amplified polariton active medium output laser beam and the depleted driver laser beam. The egressing optics controllably transmits the amplified polariton active medium output laser beam in accordance with third desired wavelength, polarization, and beam propagation parameters and prevents transmission of the depleted driver laser beam. The output of the egressing optics includes an amplified egressing optics output laser beam.
