0 Laser Excitation of Polarization Waves in a Frozen Gas

چکیده
Laser experiments with optically excited frozen gases entail the excitation of polarization waves. In a continuum approximation the waves are dispersionless, but their frequency depends on the direction of the propagation vector. An outline is given of the theory of transient phenomena that involve the excitation of these waves by a resonant dipole-dipole transfer process.

An overview of therapeutic applications of ultrasound based on synergetic effects with gold nanoparticles and laser excitation
Acoustic cavitation which occurs at high intensities of ultrasound waves can be fatal for tumor cells. The existence of dissolved gases and also the presence of nanoparticles (NPs) in a liquid, irradiated by ultrasound, decrease the acoustic cavitation onset threshold and the resulting bubbles collapse. On the other hand, due to unique capabilities and optical properties of gold nanoparticles (...
متن کاملLine Polarization of Molecular Lines at Radio Frequencies : The case of DR 21 ( OH )
We present polarization observations in DR21(OH) from thermal dust emission at 3 mm and from CO J=1 → 0 line emission. The observations were obtained using the Berkeley-Illinois-Maryland Association array. Lai et al. (2003) observed this region at 1.3 mm for the polarized continuum emission, and also measured the CO J = 2 → 1 polarization. Our continuum polarization results are consistent with ...
متن کاملTwo Photon Polarization Spectroscopy
2014 Dichroism and birefringence are studied for the case of a strong saturating laser and a linearly polarized weak probe laser interacting with a dilute gas. For linearly or circularly polarized saturating laser fields the optical analog of the Kerr or Faraday effect are obtained respectively. Two photon, Doppler-free polarization effects are studied for two and three level systems (J = 0 ~ J...

متن کاملGeneration of polarization entangled photon pairs by a single crystal interferometric source pumped by femtosecond laser pulses
Photon pairs, highly entangled in polarization have been generated under femtosecond laser pulse excitation by a type I crystal source, operating in a single arm interferometric scheme. The relevant effects of temporal walk-off existing in these conditions between the ordinary and extraordinary photons were experimentally investigated. By introducing a suitable temporal compensation between the...
