Non-equilibrium control of complex solids by nonlinear phononics.
We review some recent advances in the use of optical fields at terahertz frequencies to drive the lattice of complex materials. We will focus on the control of low energy collective properties of solids, which emerge on average when a high frequency vibration is driven and a new crystal structure induced. We first discuss the fundamentals of these lattice rearrangements, based on how anharmonic...
متن کاملNonlinear dynamics of cooperative upconversion
We describe several new aspects of light-matter interactions for solids in which interatomic coupling of impurity atoms plays a dominant role in population dynamics. We explore the implications of spatial coherence in such multiatom interactions by introducing a density-matrix theory of cooperative upconversion, focusing on pair systems for which analytic results can be obtained. We predict pop...
متن کاملCoherent phonon optics in a chip with an electrically controlled active device
Phonon optics concerns operations with high-frequency acoustic waves in solid media in a similar way to how traditional optics operates with the light beams (i.e. photons). Phonon optics experiments with coherent terahertz and sub-terahertz phonons promise a revolution in various technical applications related to high-frequency acoustics, imaging, and heat transport. Previously, phonon optics u...
متن کاملExtreme Nonlinear Optics: Coherent X Rays from Lasers
coherent light with controllable properties—is one of the most significant enabling achievements of 20thcentury science. Because atoms interact through the electromagnetic force, researchers can probe—and in some cases control—the properties and dynamics of atomic, molecular, or condensed matter systems with unprecedented precision simply by applying external, controlled electromagnetic fields....
متن کاملUltrafast laser control of electron dynamics in atoms, molecules and solids.
Exploiting coherence properties of laser light together with quantum mechanical matter interferences in order to steer a chemical reaction into a pre-defined target channel is the basis of coherent control. The increasing availability of laser sources operating on the time scale of molecular dynamics, i.e. the femtosecond regime, and the increasing capabilities of shaping light in terms of ampl...
