A comparison of self broadening and shift of helium,neon and argon emission lines

Self broadening (van der Waals and resonance) and shift of Ne emission lines and van der Waals broadening and shift of He emission lines have been measured using a high pressure (0.5–3.0 atom), low current discharge. These results are compared with previous measurements in Ar and He to obtain a complete comparison of self broadening and shift of He, Ne and Ar emission lines. Oscillator strengths for the resonance transitions are obtained from the resonance broadening coefficients. The trend of the van der Waals broadening coefficients for the three noble gases is correctly predicted by a theory due to HINDMARSHet al.⁽⁴⁾ in which a Lennard-Jones potential is used in the impact theory formalism. The measured line shifts cannot be accounted for by this theory and reflect the need for more accurate quantum mechanical calculations.     

二阶偏振模色散矢量致脉冲展宽的理论分析

我们首次提出了消偏矢量的概念，并用它来描述二阶偏振模色散中偏振模色散矢量方向的变化。本文导出了由于二阶偏振模色散所引起的脉冲展宽的解析表达式，结论指出，偏振相关的本征色散总是使脉冲展宽加剧；而偏振模色散矢量方向的变化（消偏矢量），却是使脉冲展宽减弱。二阶偏振模色散对脉冲的展宽，不仅与偏振相关的本征色散和消偏矢量有关，而且还与信号的传输速率以及初始一阶偏振模色散的大小有关。信号速率的提高，将明显的使二阶偏振模色散的影响增强。在偏振相关的本征色散不为零的情况下，通过调整初始偏振态矢量、初始一阶偏振模色散矢量以及消偏矢量三者的方向，使它们互相平行，可以获得最佳的色散补偿。但是却不能获得完全的色散补偿。在最佳色散补偿时的最小脉冲展宽为σ= (2^1/2/4)( DCF/T₀).     

Analytical expression of pulse broadening in an arbitrary linear slow light medium

We derive an analytical expression for the broadening of a Gaussian input pulse in an arbitrary linear slow light medium. The expression consists of two terms, one corresponding to amplitude broadening (low-pass filtering of the pulse bandwidth) and another corresponding to phase broadening (phase dispersion around the resonance). It is shown that for a Lorentzian gain profile, the amplitude broadening is dominant at small fractional delays. However, for large fractional delays, phase broadening is inevitably dominate.

Transmission Properties of the Femtosecond Pulse Through a Near-field Optical Fiber probe

The experimental results are given on the broadening characteristics of the time and frequency profile of the femtosecond pulse passed through a SNOM fiber probe. The power threshold for the spectral and temporal broadening was 158 μw for pulses with 250 fs width and the repetition rate of 250 kHz at 830 nm wavelength. The time broadening reached lps for 250 fs incident pulse of 500 μw. A finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) simulation was carried out to illuminate the transmission properties of ultrafast pulse through the SNOM probe. The broadening influence on temporal resolution spectrum and near-field fluorescence excited by two-photon technique are discussed.

高气压微波氢等离子体发射光谱诊断

在2.45GHz,800W级的高气压微波等离子体放电系统中,通过测量不同微波功率和放电气压下氢等离子体的Balmer线系的发射光谱,从测量的谱线总展宽中卷积去掉具有高斯线形的Doppler展宽和仪器展宽得到谱线的Stark展宽,并通过Stark展宽测量氢等离子体的电子数密度和电场强度。结果表明:等离子体的电子数密度和电场强度随着放电气压的升高都是先增大后减小,随着微波功率的增加呈现逐渐增大的趋势。微波功率为800W时,气压在25kPa时电子数密度和电场强度都达到最大值,等离子体的电子数密度和内部的电场强度分别为3.55×1012cm-3及4.01kV/cm。     

Influence of BBR-Induced Level Mixing Effect on Cosmological Recombination of Hydrogen and Singly Ionized Helium Atoms

An effect of atomic line broadening induced by the blackbody radiation (BBR) is investigated. Two physically different processes that affect the line broadening are compared within the framework of quantum electrodynamics (QED): the stimulated Raman scattering and BBR-induced level mixing. It is shown that the mixing effect gives the most significant contribution to the line broadening. According to our analysis, it is possible to distinguish both effects in the laboratory experiments. The impact of BBR-induced level mixing on the recombination history of primordial hydrogen and singly ionized helium atoms is discussed.     

Revision on the calculation of optically pumped FIR laser spectrum with Doppler broadening and pressure broadening effects

By means of iteration method and also taking into account Doppler broadening and pressure braodening effect of IR pumping laser, the output power density of optically pumped NH₃ molecules FIR laser is calculated by solving density matrix equations of three-level system. The results of theoretical calculation shows that, in comparison with the FIR laser under the assumption of ideal monochromatic IR pumping, the output power density of FIR laser in the case of Doppler broadening and pressure broadening IR pumping decreases much more. Meanwhile, via the revision of Doppler broadening and pressure broadening effect, the theoretical value of optimum operating gas pressure reduces, which is in better agreement with the experimental value. Further study shows that the revision of Doppler broadening effect is more fit for the conventional FIR laser with a 2m sample tuble and the revision of pressure broadening effect is much more suitable for the miniature FIR laser with a short sample tube of 5 to 20cm in length.Supported by the National Natural Sciences Foundation of P.R.China and the NSF of Guangdong Province.

A collisional cooling investigation of the pressure broadening of the 110←101 transition of water from 17 to 200 K

An investigation of the 1₁₀←1₀₁ rotational transition of water at 556 GHz pressure broadened by hydrogen, helium, nitrogen, oxygen and carbon dioxide has been completed. Using the collisional cooling technique the broadening of this transition by each gas was explored from 200 K down to the condensation point of the broadening gas or 17 K, which ever is lower. This marks the first time such an extensive investigation of the broadening of this rotational transition as a function of temperature has been completed. The results of this investigation will be presented including the exponential temperature dependence of the broadening, the lack of temperature dependence of the broadening observed in helium and the unique behavior of the hydrogen broadening at low temperature (<40 K). In addition, the broadening of the 1₁₀←1₀₁ rotational transition of water by nitrogen and oxygen was recorded at room temperature and a direct comparison of this data with recent work will be discussed.     

The Ag M5N45N45 Auger photoelectron coincidence spectra of disordered Ag0.5Pd0.5 alloy

An effect of disorder broadening (DB) on the Ag M₅N₄₅N₄₅ Auger spectra in the random substituted Ag_0.5Pd_0.5 has been investigated by Auger photoelectron coincidence spectroscopy (APECS). Data were collected for the Ag M₅N₄₅N₄₅ Auger line coincident with the Ag 3d_5/2 photoelectron line (and its higher and lower binding energy sides). It is shown that the broadening of the Ag M₅N₄₅N₄₅ line is directly associated with the presence of disorder broadening of the Ag 3d_5/2 photoelectron line. The APECS experiment is used to demonstrate the broadening in a novel way.     

Annealing studies of Ti/Al multilayer film by slow positron beam

Single detector and coincidence Doppler broadening (CDB) spectroscopy measurements using slow positron beam were carried out to study as-deposited and annealed Ti/Al multilayer films. The changes of the film structure and defects in each layer by heat treatment have been investigated through the analysis of Doppler broadening lineshape variation. The coincidence Doppler broadening measurements revealed that Ti is the dominant diffusion species during the alloying process of Ti/Al by high temperature annealing. These results highlight the potential of slow positron beam in characterizing the vacancy-type defects evolution and mechanism of interlayer diffusion in Ti/Al multilayer film.     

Light-induced temporal broadening of optical lines of individual molecules in polymers and glasses

The spectral diffusion theory developed for explaining the logarithmic temporal broadening of the optical line of an individual impurity center and based on spontaneous tunnel transitions in a polymer or glass is supplemented by taking into account the tunnel transitions occurring in the center itself upon the absorption of a photon. This light-induced additional tunneling leads to a sharp temporal broadening of the optical line from an individual impurity molecule occurring against the background of a slower logarithmic line broadening. It is shown that the inclusion of light-induced tunneling can explain the difference in the temporal line broadening of three individual Terylene molecules introduced in polyethylene, which was measured in experiments by the group headed by M. Orrit [A. M. Boiron et al., Chem. Phys. 247, 119 (1999)].     

Effects of electron levels broadening and electron temperature in tunnel structures based on metal nanoclusters

We study the influence of energy levels broadening and electron subsystem overheating in island electrode (cluster) on current-voltage characteristics of three-electrode structure. A calculation scheme for broadening effect in one-dimensional case is suggested. Estimation of broadening is performed for electron levels in disc-like and spherical gold clusters. Within the two-temperature model of metallic cluster and by using a size dependence of the Debye frequency the effective electron temperature as a function of bias voltage is found approximately. For helium temperature of ion subsystem, the heating temperature of electrons in a quantum disc is almost one order of magnitude higher than that in a sphere; it achieves thousands of Kelvin. We suggest that the effects of broadening and electron overheating are responsible for the smoothing of current-voltage curves, which is observed experimentally at low temperatures in structures based on clusters consisting of accountable number of atoms. However, a role of the broadening is much more significant.     

初始啁啾对飞秒脉冲在光子晶体光纤中超连续谱产生的影响

采用分步傅里叶方法模拟了初始啁啾对光子晶体光纤中超连续谱产生的影响.根据光纤长度，将光子晶体光纤中脉冲的演化分成初始展宽、剧烈展宽和饱和展宽三个阶段.通过讨论啁啾脉冲和无初始啁啾脉冲在各阶段演化的区别，发现啁啾只在初始展宽和剧烈展宽阶段对光谱有影响，当β₂C<0时啁啾有利于光谱的展宽，当β₂C>0时则刚好相反，在饱和展宽阶段啁啾不再对光谱产生影响.要想利用啁啾脉冲来获得较宽的光谱，必须选择合适的光纤长度，使输出的脉冲处于剧烈展宽阶段.这为利用啁啾脉冲在光子晶体光 关键词： 超连续谱 光子晶体光纤 分步傅里叶法 啁啾     

Pressure broadening by argon in the hyperfine resolved P(10) and P(70) (17,1) transitions of I2 XΣ(0g)→BΠ(0u) using sub-Doppler laser saturation spectroscopy

The dependence of pressure broadening upon hyperfine component in the P(10) and P(70) lines of the (17,1) band of the I₂ X¹Σ(0_g⁺)→B³Π(0_u⁺) has been studied using laser saturation spectroscopy. By limiting absorption to the zero velocity group, Doppler broadening is removed, lineshapes with widths (FWHM) <9 MHz are detectable, and collision-induced broadening is measured at pressures of 0.2-1.2 Torr. The rates for broadening by argon are 8.3±0.3 and 10.7±0.4 MHz/Torr for the P(70) and P(10) lines, respectively. No significant variation in broadening rates is observed for the 15 hyperfine components of these even rotational lines. The effects of velocity cross-relaxation introduce a broad baseline into the spectra, which is strongly dependent on rotational state, pressure, and laser modulation frequency. The observed broadening rates correlate well with prior measurements and the polarizability of the collision partner.     

Gain-flattened fiber Raman amplifiers with nonlinearity-broadened pumps

Gain flattening of an E-band (1360-1460-nm) fiber Raman amplifier was achieved by pump spectral broadening to a 16.3-nm linewidth by use of nonlinearity in a 6.2-km standard fiber. With the broadened pump, the characteristic Raman gain ripple was removed and the 3-dB gain bandwidth was increased by 10.6 nm relative to the nonbroadened pump case. The experimental results agreed well with a gain profile simulation. The use of a 100-m holey fiber for pump broadening was also investigated near 1.56 microm for U-band (1625-1675-nm) Raman amplifiers. Much less broadening was observed, which is believed to be a result of less four-wave mixing.

Phase modulation of propagation effect with Doppler broadening

This paper studies the propagation effect in a closed lambda-type three-level atomic system with Doppler broadening. It is shown that, Doppler broadening due to atomic motion and propagation effect associated with driving field depletion along the active medium decreases obviously the gain and output of the lasing without inversion （LWI）; the relative phase between the probe and driving fields has a remarkable modulation role to the propagation effect on LWI when Doppler broadening presents; by choosing suitable value of the relative phase, we can get the largest gain and output of LWI.
