چکیده

Spectra that are narrower than the natural width of decaying states can be achieved by beginning the observation of signals at a fixed delay time after excitation rather than immediately afterward. These signals are weaker (and noisier) than the full, time-unresolved signals. Applications of this line-narrowing technique to precision spectroscopy are discussed, and the properties of the resulting signals are studied. Numerical simulations demonstrate that time-resolved line narrowing is highly desirable in a large number of cases.

Measurement of hyperfine coupling constants in the 3 d 2 Dj levels of 39 K , 40 K , and 41 K by polarization quantum - beat spectroscopy

Hyperfine quantum-beat spectroscopy has been utilized in a pump-probe configuration to measure magnetic dipole (A) and electric quadrupole (B) coupling constants in the 3d D3/2 and 3d D5/2 levels of three isotopes of potassium. For many of these levels, the largest hyperfine splitting is smaller than the natural width, and so a subnatural linewidth technique is required. In the experiments, the...

Theoretical description of time-resolved photoemission spectroscopy: application to pump-probe experiments.

The theory for time-resolved, pump-probe, photoemission spectroscopy and other pump-probe experiments is developed. The formal development is completely general, incorporating all of the nonequilibrium effects of the pump pulse and the finite time width of the probe pulse, and including possibilities for taking into account band structure and matrix element effects, surface states, and the inte...

Time-resolved spatially offset Raman spectroscopy for depth analysis of diffusely scattering layers.

The objective of this study is to use time-resolved (TR) Raman spectroscopy, spatially offset Raman spectroscopy (SORS), and a combination of these approaches to obtain high quality Raman spectra from materials hidden underneath an opaque layer. Both TR Raman and SORS are advanced techniques that allow for an increased relative selectivity of photons from deeper layers within a sample. Time-res...

Size Distribution Measurement of Candle\'s Soot Nanoparticles by Using Time Resolved Laser Induced Incandescence

Time resolved laser induced incandescence (LII) technique is used to measure size distribution of soot nanoparticles of candle's flame. Pulsed Nd:YAG laser is used to heat nanoparticles to incandescence temperature and the resulting signal is measured. Mass and energy balance equations are numerically solved to calculate temperature of soot particles in low fluence regime. Assuming Plank black ...
