Abstract

Recent calculations of laser light propagation in sodium vapor[1] have predicted the mutual deflection (“bouncing”)[2] and “switching” of two laser beams of orthogonal circular polarization which intersect at an angle θ on the order of a few millirads. The calculations include diffraction, saturation and optical pumping induced polarization effects.[3]
