Title: **Innovator Spotlight: Peter P. Sorokin**
Introduction
Peter P. Sorokin is a distinguished inventor based in Ossining, NY, known for his significant contributions to the field of coherent light amplification and optical technology. With a total of four patents to his name, he has made remarkable advancements, especially in the development of gaseous optical gain mediums.
Latest Patents
Among his latest inventions, Peter has developed the Discharge-Pumped 'Dressed-Atom' Coherent Light Amplifier and Generators. This groundbreaking invention introduces a novel type of gaseous optical gain medium for generating intense, highly monochromatic coherent light beams. The gain in this technology results from nonlinear optical pumping of a gas of β-type 'three-level' atoms that are coherently phased using two monochromatic laser beams. The nonlinear optical pumping process is executed through two distinct methods: a low-pressure gaseous discharge leading to intense narrow-band fluorescence and a specific form of stimulated hyper-Raman scattering that efficiently converts fluorescence photons into propagating coherent light beams.
Another noteworthy patent is the Tunable 16-Micron Coherent Source Including Parahydrogen Raman. This innovative solution achieves a coherent tunable narrow band infrared source around 16 micrometers using four-wave parametric mixing in parahydrogen. The method involves collinear laser beams from a narrow band CO₂ laser and a multiline laser that interact within a parahydrogen cell, allowing for the tuning of emitted radiation by adjusting the CO₂ laser.
