Coherent population transfer via the continuum.
We present a remarkable analytic result which suggests that a continuum can be used as an intermediary for a significant transfer of population from one discrete state to another discrete state in a stimulated Raman transition. the population transfer is accomplished by employing two laser pulses that overlap in time, arranged in the so-called counterintuitive order. That a continuum can be use...
متن کاملExperimental demonstration of selective coherent population transfer via a continuum.
We report the first experimental demonstration of coherent population transfer, induced by stimulated Raman adiabatic passage, via continuum states. Population is transferred from the metastable state 2s(1)S(0) to the excited state 4s(1)S(0) in helium atoms in a two-photon process mediated by coherent interaction with the ionization continuum. While incoherent techniques usually do not permit a...
متن کاملCoherent properties of a tripod system coupled via a continuum
Coherent interaction between discrete quantum states via a continuum is an intriguing process. Although the continuum is traditionally seen as an incoherent medium, (partial) transfer of coherence can nevertheless occur through a continuum. In particular, much theoretical and experimental attention has been devoted to laserinduced continuum structure (LICS) [1–19], where the interaction between...
متن کاملNuclear coherent population transfer with x-ray laser pulses
Coherent population transfer between nuclear states using x-ray laser pulses is studied. The laser pulses drive two nuclear transitions between three nuclear states in a setup reminding of stimulated Raman adiabatic passage used for atomic coherent population transfer. To compensate for the lack of γ-ray laser sources, we envisage accelerated nuclei interacting with two copropagating or crossed...
متن کاملDetection of coherent oceanic structures via transfer operators.
Coherent nondispersive structures are known to play a crucial role in explaining transport in nonautonomous dynamical systems such as ocean flows. These structures are difficult to extract from model output as they are Lagrangian by nature and not revealed by the underlying Eulerian velocity fields. In the last few years heuristic concepts such as finite-time Lyapunov exponents have been used i...
