چکیده
Lithium thioindate (LiInS2) is a new nonlinear chalcogenide biaxial material transparent from 0.4 to 12 μm, that has been successfully grown in large sizes and good optical quality. We report on new physical properties that are relevant for laser and nonlinear optics applications. With respect to AgGaS(e)2 ternary chalcopyrite materials, LiInS2 displays a nearly-isotropic thermal expansion behavior, a 5-times larger thermal conductivity associated with high optical damage thresholds, and an extremely low intensity-dependent absorption allowing direct high-power downconversion from the near-IR to the deep mid-IR. Continuous-wave difference-frequency generation (5-11μm) of Ti:sapphire laser sources is reported for the first time.

We report photoassociative spectroscopy of 88Sr2 in a magneto-optical trap operating on the 1S0 → 3P1 intercombination line at 689 nm. Photoassociative transitions are driven with a laser red-detuned by 600-2400MHz from the 1S0 → 1P1 atomic resonance at 461 nm. Photoassociation takes place at extremely large internuclear separation, and the photoassociative spectrum is strongly affected by rela...

We report the frequency measurement with an accuracy in the 100 kHz range of several optical transitions of atomic Sr : 1S0 − 3P1 at 689 nm, 3P1 − 3S1 at 688 nm and 3P0 − 3S1 at 679 nm. Measurements are performed with a frequency chain based on a femtosecond laser referenced to primary frequency standards. They allowed the determination with a 70 kHz uncertainty of the energy of the 5s5p 3P0 st...

We develop a microscopic model for the interaction of small rare gas clusters with soft X-ray radiation. It is shown that, while the overall charging of the clusters is rather low, unexpectedly high atomic charge states can arise due to charge imbalances inside the cluster. The mechanism does not require unusually high absorption rates, and the heating can be described by standard inverse brems...
