Complete view of Stark wave-packet evolution
Picosecond laser pulses have been used to produce Rydberg wave packets in calcium atoms in the presence of a strong static electric field. The dynamics of the Stark wave packets have been observed by measuring the momentum-space probability distribution as a function of time. The full precession of the electronic orbital angular momentum, the appearance of a large-amplitude, linear oscillation ...
متن کاملThe Evolution of a Stratospheric Wave Packet
This work examines the extent to which a few basic concepts that apply to plane waves, for example, the refraction of waves up the gradient of the index of refraction, apply to stratospheric planetary waves. This is done by studying the relation between group velocity (Cg) and the wave activity velocity, which is defined as the Eliassen–Palm flux divided by the wave activity density (Va 5 F/A)....
متن کامل0 Time Arrow in Wave - Packet Evolution
Availability of short, femtosecond laser pulses has recently made feasible the probing of phases in an atomic or molecular wave-packet (superposition of energy eigenstates). With short duration excitations the initial form of the wave-packet is an essentially real " doorway state " , and this develops phases for each of its component amplitudes as it evolves. It is suggested that these phases a...
متن کاملHydrodynamic view of wave-packet interference: quantum caves.
Wave-packet interference is investigated within the complex quantum Hamilton-Jacobi formalism using a hydrodynamic description. Quantum interference leads to the formation of the topological structure of quantum caves in space-time Argand plots. These caves consist of the vortical and stagnation tubes originating from the isosurfaces of the amplitude of the wave function and its first derivativ...
متن کاملRelative phase measurement of a stark wave packet in the vicinity of the saddle point
A gas of Rb atoms in a static electric field has been photoexcited to just above the classical ionization threshold by a phase-locked sequence of two far infrared pulses. A single laser pulse generates a series of ejected electron packets emerging at the saddle point of the potential; each of the ejected packets is characterized by a phase and a chirp. We calculate and measure these phases and ...
