Imaging through random media using low-coherence optical heterodyning
Optical heterodyning is a detection scheme that allows the preferential detection of ballistic photons transmitted through a random media, enabling the imaging of absorbing structures within. We introduce a normalized cross-correlation function as a quantitative measure of image quality and employ it to investigate the effect of source coherence length on the ability of optical heterodyning to ...
متن کاملProbing anomalous relaxation by coherent multidimensional optical spectroscopy.
We propose to study the origin of algebraic decay of two-point correlation functions observed in glasses, proteins, and quantum dots by their nonlinear response to sequences of ultrafast laser pulses. Power-law spectral singularities and temporal relaxation in two-dimensional correlation spectroscopy signals are predicted for a continuous time random walk model of stochastic spectral jumps in a...
متن کاملProbing electron correlations in molecules by two-dimensional coherent optical spectroscopy.
The nonlinear optical signal generated in phenol by three femtosecond pulses with wavevectors k1, k2, and k3 in the phase-matching direction k1 + k2 - k3 is simulated. This two-dimensional coherent spectroscopy (2DCS) signal has a rich pattern containing information on double-excitation states. The signal vanishes for uncorrelated electrons due to interference among quantum pathways and, thus, ...
متن کاملTwo-pulse atomic coherent control
Two-pulse atomic coherent control (2PACC) spectroscopy is presented. The idea is demonstrated by simulating a source consisting of a two-pulse atom laser impinging on a surface covered with a co-adsorbed atom. The controlled outcome is an Eley–Rideal chemical reaction where the controls are the time delay and relative phase between the twopulses. The two atom laser pulses interfere with each ot...
متن کاملCoherent Control of Quantum Entropy via Quantum Interference in a Four-Level Atomic System
The time evaluation of quantum entropy in a four-level double- type atomic system is theoretically investigated. Quantum entanglement of the atom and its spontaneous emission fields is then discussed via quantum entropy. It is found that the degree of entanglement can be increased by the quantum interference induced by spontaneous emission. The phase dependence of the atom-field entanglement is...
