Interferometric pump-probe study of intense field excitation of sapphire.

چکیده
Under intense optical excitation, the polarizability of transparent optical materials has a significant third order, nonlinear contribution. This manifests itself in a wide variety of effects, which, under certain conditions, are collectively referred to as white light continuum generation. We report on a new approach that isolates, for the first time, some of these effects.

There are several techniques in use for non-linear refractive index measurement, namely, interferometric techniques, in which conventional inter-ferometers are used, degenerate for wave mixing (DFWM), and z-scan, Each of these techniques suffers from some shortcmings. For example conventional interferometers like Fabry-Perot and Twyman-Green need high quality optical components, unwanted refl...
متن کاملبررسی گذار وروی در مگنتایت به وسیله طیف سنجی فوق سریع
Magnetite has a different electrical resistance behavior with temperatures below and above the Verwey temperature. Here, we report on Verwey transition in Fe3O4 by means of the frequency-doubled output from the Ti-sapphire laser in pump-probe experiments and from the insulator to metal transition observed by changing the temperature at the wavelength 370nm (~3.36 eV) both for pump and probe. We...
متن کاملStability of high-density one-dimensional excitons in carbon nanotubes under high laser excitation.
Through ultrafast pump-probe spectroscopy with intense pump pulses and a wide continuum probe, we show that interband exciton peaks in single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) are extremely stable under high laser excitations. Estimates of the initial densities of excitons from the excitation conditions, combined with recent theoretical calculations of exciton Bohr radii for SWNTs, suggest that t...
متن کاملTHz PUMP AND X-RAY PROBE DEVELOPMENT AT LCLS*
We report on measurements of broadband, intense, coherent transition radiation at terahertz frequencies, generated as the highly compressed electron bunches in LCLS pass through a thin metal foil. The foil is inserted at 45° to the electron beam, 31 m downstream of the undulator. The THz emission passes downward through a diamond window to an optical table below the beamline. A fully compressed...
متن کاملUltrafast interferometric pump/probe correlation measurements in systems with broadened bands or continua
Ultrafast (femtosecond) interferometric pump/probe techniques can be used to measure rates of population and quantum phase decay in complicated media such as liquids and solids. However, the levels probed in such systems are often inhomogeneously broadened or are part of a continuum of states. The use of broadband ultrafast lasers thus results in multiple levels being excited and detected. The ...
