Observation of broadband time-dependent Rabi shifting in microplasmas.
Coherent broadband radiation in the form of Rabi sidebands is observed when a ps probe laser propagates through a weakly ionized, electronically excited microplasma generated in the focus of an intense pump beam. The sidebands arise from the interaction of the probe beam with pairs of excited states of a constituent neutral atom via the probe-induced Rabi oscillation. Sideband shifting of >90 m...
متن کاملOrigin of the spectral coherence in dynamically broadened Rabi sidebands.
We demonstrate the coherent nature of dynamic Rabi-shifted sidebands arising when a picosecond probe laser interacts with a weakly ionized laser-generated microplasma. The coherence is manifested as spectral fringes observed in the sideband spectra. A model is presented that quantitatively predicts both the spectral phase and the spectral interference measured in the sidebands.
متن کاملTuning extension of a Difference-Frequency generation up to 100 nm using V-shaped external-cavity for the pump laser
In this research, tunability of a commercial diode laser has extended to about more than ± 11 nm using a V-shaped external-cavity fabricated around the laser. Although under normal condition it can be tuned up to about ± 4 nm just by changing its temperature and injection current. Such modified diode laser has then used in a difference-frequency generation (DFG) experimental setup as pump sourc...
متن کاملRole of the carrier-envelope offset phase of few-cycle pulses in nonperturbative resonant nonlinear optics.
We study the influence of the carrier-envelope offset phase of few-cycle pulses on nonperturbative resonant extreme nonlinear optics in a semiconductor. If the Rabi frequency becomes comparable to the light frequency, the different Rabi sidebands interfere around twice the laser center frequency, giving rise to a signal which strongly depends on the carrier-envelope offset phase. This signature...
متن کاملCascaded four-wave mixing for broadband tunable laser sideband generation.
We demonstrate the versatile broadband wavelength tunability of frequency upconverted multicolor cascaded four-wave-mixing (CFWM) signals spanning the continuous wavelength range from UV to near IR in a thin type-I BBO crystal using 35 fs, 800 nm fundamental and chirped IR supercontinuum white light pulses. Two sets of spatially dispersed CFWM laser sidebands are concomitantly generated from tw...
