چکیده

A large, dc-electric-field-induced nonlinear optical susceptibility is exploited to produce ultraviolet radiation in the range 2453-2476 A by the process of sum-frequency generation in sodium. The interaction is resonantly enhanced at the first intermediate level by the 3 (2)P(3/2) state and at the second intermediate level by a Rydberg state. Conversion efficiencies of 10(-5) have been obtained; improvement of this value by a factor of 10(3) should be possible.

A Laser-Based Coherent VUV Source and its Application to Highly Resolved Studies of the Fano Effect in HI

A highly resolving apparatus for molecular photoionization experiments based on resonantly enhanced sum-frequency mixing is discussed. The VUV source, based upon commercially available laser equipment, delivers more than 10" photons/second at a bandwidth of 0.38cm-I with linear or circular polarization. Results of photoelectron yield measurements obtained for the complete (n* = 6) Rydberg order...

Rydberg molecule in a magnetic field

Rydberg states of the NO molecule have been probed by two-color resonantly enhanced multiphoton ionization in a magnetic field of 0.93 T. Penetrating s and d states show strong interactions with the intramolecular field while nonpenetrating f states show stronger interactions with the extemal magnetic field. Competition between the molecular core anisotropy and the extemal field anisotropy lead...

Unusual Rydberg system consisting of a positively charged helium nanodroplet with an orbiting electron.

Evidence is presented of an unusual Rydberg system consisting of a helium nanodroplet containing a positively charged sodium ion and an orbiting electron. Rydberg states of this system with principal quantum number n<20 are found to be unstable on a nanosecond time scale. In contrast, Rydberg states with n≳100 are found to have a lifetime of 1.1 μs. In addition, it is found that the ionization ...
