New approaches to liquid interfaces through changes in the refractive index and nonlinear susceptibility utilizing ultrashort laser pulses.
Molecules in inhomogeneous liquid environments, such as air/liquid, liquid/liquid, solid/liquid interfaces interact with each other specifically, and sometimes form characteristic structures and emerge unique properties. Here, we introduce two newly developed spectroscopic techniques, the total-internal-reflection ultrafast transient lens method (TIR-UTL) and second harmonic generation-coherent...
متن کاملNonlinear absorption of ultrashort laser pulses in thin metal films.
Self-consistent simulations of the ultrafast electron dynamics in thin metal films were performed. A regime of nonlinear oscillations was observed that corresponds to ballistic electrons bouncing back and forth against the films' surfaces. When an oscillatory laser field is applied to the film, the field energy is partially absorbed by the electron gas. Maximum absorption occurs when the period...
متن کاملMode locking by a frequency-doubling crystal: generation of transform-limited ultrashort light pulses.
Transform-limited ultrashort green and infrared light pulses have been generated from a Nd:YAG laser mode locked by an intracavity second-harmonic crystal in combination with a dichroic output coupler. The mode-locking process is based on substantial reconversion of the second-harmonic radiation back into fundamental radiation after reflection by the dichroic mirror. With this technique light p...
متن کاملOptimal control with ultrashort laser pulses
Coherent control is a new fascinating field subsuming theoretical and experimental efforts aiming at controlling quantum phenomena using the interaction with tailored laser fields. Building on the coherence property a quantum mechanical system is laser-driven into a specific quantum mechanical state or along a reaction pathway to a desired product. The needed pulse shape for a specific aim can ...
متن کاملTailored-Beam Ultrashort Laser Pulses
Laser pulses with picosecond and femtosecond durations are now indispensable tools in many scientific disciplines. These ultrashort pulses provide unique temporal resolutions for investigations of phenomena taking place in comparable time ranges. In addition, optical energies squeezed into such short time windows yield extremely high peak powers and intensities, paving the way to generate unpre...
