Molecular “p Pulse” for Total Inversion of Electronic State Population
نویسندگان
چکیده
Theoretical analysis leads us to the intriguing conclusion that nearly complete electronic population inversion of molecules can be achieved with intense positively chirped broadband laser pulses, as a combined result of vibrational coherence and adiabatic inversion. Strong field quantum calculations demonstrate inversion probabilities of up to 99%. The results are robust with respect to changes in light field parameters as well as to thermal and condensed phase conditions, are supported by experimental evidence, and have many potential applications in chemistry, biochemistry, biology, and physics.

Two-photon adiabatic passage in ultracold Rb interacting with a single nanosecond, chirped pulse
A semiclassical, four-level model of a nanosecond, chirped pulse interacting with all optically accessible hyperfine states in an ultracold alkali atom, e.g., the Rb, is analyzed aiming at population inversion within 5S1/2 electronic state. The nature of two-photon adiabatic passage performed by a single pulse having the bandwidth prior to chirping significantly narrower than the hyperfine spli...
متن کاملPredictions of the Joule-Thomson Inversion Curve for Water and Methanol from the LJ-SAFT EOS
In this work, we have calculated the Joule-Thomson inversion curve of two important associating fluids, namely water and methanol, from the SAFT equation of state. Comparisons with the available experimental data, for water and methanol indicate that this molecular based equation of state gives good prediction of the low temperature branch; but, unfortunately, due to lack of isenthalpic dat...
متن کاملNonlinear wave-packet interferometry and molecular state reconstruction in a vibrating and rotating diatomic molecule.
We formulate two-color nonlinear wave-packet interferometry (WPI) for application to a diatomic molecule in the gas phase and show that this form of heterodyne-detected multidimensional electronic spectroscopy will permit the reconstruction of photoinduced rovibrational wave packets from experimental data. Using two phase-locked pulse pairs, each resonant with a different electronic transition,...
متن کاملBroadband population inversion in solid state NMR
We present theory, simulations and experimental demonstrations of composite 1T pulses for population inversion in coupled spin systems such as occur in solid state NMR. The composite 1T pulses are phase-shifted rf pulse sequences designed to invert spins over a larger range of dipole or quadrupole couplings than a conventional1T pulse, for a given rfpower. We discuss a previously proposed theor...
