Stabilization of bound state decay in an intense monochromatic high-frequency field

The formalism of complex quasienergies is used for exact calculation of the field-dependent decay rate for a weakly bound particle (in the model of a three-dimensional zero-range potential) in a strong monochromatic laser field. It is shown that the adiabatic (quasistationary) stabilization regime in this model occurs at frequencies ω exceeding the binding energy and only in a limited intensity range. A simple estimate is obtained for the critical field of stabilization breakdown. The effect may be observed for the decay of H^? ions in the field of a neodymium laser of femtosecond duration.     

碘吸收激光稳频中调制信号的理论计算

激光频率标准是将激光频率锁定于原子或分子的超精细能级间的跃迁频率,从而获得高精密度的激光频率输出。在激光稳频研究工作中,通常将碘分子的吸收谱线采用导数谱、FM光谱和调制转移光谱MTS(ModulationTransferSpectroscopy)进行频率的精密控制。为更好地消除吸收谱线的本底噪声,目前最好的稳频方案是采用调制转移光谱法。它具有高灵敏度、高分辨率和无多普勒背景等特点。从物理学的原理出发,分析了激光对介质的极化机理,导出介质对激光的吸收和色散作用的数学模型,用信号处理的技术从理论上推导了MTS谱线线型,分析了光谱线型的特性,讨论了提高激光频率稳定度的各种情况。     

Evidence for Stark induced frequency shift in a CH3F fir laser

We report the first direct measurement of the frequency shift induced by the application of an electric field to an optically pumped CH₃F far infrared laser. These shifts are obtained only if the laser resonator is slightly detuned, so that the electric field enhances the cavity pulling effects. The maximum Stark coefficient we observed is about 2 kHz/(Volt/cm), fairly sufficient to allow FM modulation or fast laser frequency stabilization.     

Emergence of a stabilization regime in quantum systems subject to a strong laser field and the Kramers-Henneberger approximation

We use the Kramers-Henneberger approximation to investigate the phenomenon of stabilization of quantum systems with short-range potentials in a strong electromagnetic field. We identify the physical limits imposed on our investigation by the use of this approximation, and the ranges of parameter values of the system and external field that lead to stabilization. We analyze the dependence of the stabilization threshold on the frequency of the laser light. The conclusions obtained from our analytic investigation are confirmed by numerical calculations.

Dissociation of vibrationally excited heteronuclear molecules by an intense infrared field

Results of numerical simulations of the vibrational-rotational dynamics of a molecular system in the field of an intense infrared laser pulse are presented. The cases of quasi-monochromatic and ultrashort laser action on the nuclear subsystem are considered. The influence of the coherent repopulation of vibrationally excited molecular states on photodissociation and the peculiarities of photodissociation under the action of an ultrashort laser pulse are discussed. The results obtained for quasi-monochromatic laser action are interpreted in terms of interference stabilization.

Numerical modeling of the photoionization of Rydberg atoms by the field of an electromagnetic wave

The ionization of excited hydrogen-like atoms in a femtosecond laser pulse is studied by direct numerical integration of the time-dependent Schrödinger equation for a quantum system in the field of an electromagnetic wave. Expressions are obtained for the ionization probability of the system as a function of the parameters of the laser pulse and the initial state of the atom. Ionization suppression is found, confirming the basic premises of the theory of interference stabilization of Rydberg atoms.     

Stabilization effect of Weibel modes due to inverse bremsstrahlung absorption in laser fusion plasma using Krook collisions model

In this work, the Weibel instability due to inverse bremsstrahlung absorption in laser fusion plasma has been investigated. The stabilization effect due to the coupling of the self-generated magnetic field by Weibel instability with the laser wave field is explicitly showed. The main result obtained in this work is that the inclusion of self-generated magnetic field due to Weibel instability to the inverse bremsstrahlung absorption causes a stabilizing effect of excited Weibel modes. We found a decrease in the spectral range of Weibel unstable modes. This decrease is accompanied by a reduction of two orders in the growth rate of instability or even stabilization of these modes. It has been shown that the previous analyses of the Weibel instability due to inverse bremsstrahlung have overestimated the values of the generated magnetic fields. Therefore, the generation of magnetic fields by the Weibel instability due to inverse bremsstrahlung should not affect the experiences of an inertial confinement fusion.     

Ne absorption tube in an alternating magnetic field inside a laser cavity as a frequency standard

A neon absorption tube placed in an alternating magnetic field is used as a frequency standard for the frequency stabilization of a He-Ne laser. This absorption tube, which is situated within the laser cavity, permits a very precise frequency adjustment (<10^-12) due to the formation of the inverse Lamb dip. An excellent beam coherence is also obtained because this method of stabilization does not superimpose any frequency modulation on the oscillation.     

Remaining noise-induced spatiotemporal dynamics in a free electron laser stabilized by feedback control

We investigate the efficiency of the pulsed regime stabilization by feedback control in a free electron laser (FEL) in oscillator configuration. We show that a hidden dynamics remains in the controlled FEL. Though not visible in the evolution of the pulse envelope, this dynamics affects the internal pulse shape evolution, and thus the FEL spectrum and coherence properties. The experimental results obtained on the UVSOR FEL are interpreted in the framework of a field master equation model. The stochastic nature of spontaneous emission is taken into account, and appears as an essential ingredient since the dynamics of the controlled structures is governed by noise like the other stable regimes of the FEL.     

Optical properties of excimers in the field of intense laser radiation

The specific features of the luminescence of excimer molecules are analyzed within the model of a purely repulsive potential for the ground state in the field of intense laser radiation with due regard for the squeezed vibrational states. It is demonstrated that the luminescence band with the inclusion of the equilibrium phonons can be represented by a broad structureless asymmetric bell-shaped curve. The squeezed vibrational states substantially affect the frequency dependence of the luminescence intensity; more specifically, the luminescence band exhibits two maxima in the case of strong electron-phonon coupling. The stabilization of an excited electronic state in the course of luminescence at the fundamental frequency and generation of higher optical harmonics in the field of intense laser radiation is discussed.

建立了高功率连续激光辐照透明光学材料的热力学模型,通过积分变换方法求解三维热传导方程,得出了激光辐照引起的瞬态温度场分布的精确解析解,并在此基础上进一步求得热应力场的瞬态分布。以1.315μm的高能氧碘激光辐照熔石英玻璃为例,计算了熔石英在激光辐照下的温度场与热应力场分布,分析了其激光损伤机理。研究结果表明由于熔石英具有优良的热稳定性,温度不均匀分布所产生的热应力相对较小,激光损伤主要是受辐照区域温度值超过材料熔点发生熔融破坏。理论分析结果与相关的实验结论一致,说明所建立激光辐照效应模型的合理性。     

FRINGE STRUCTURE IN THE PHASE-SPACE DYNAMICS OF ATOMIC STABILIZATION IN AN INTENSE FIELD

An analytical expression of a Floquet operator, which describes the evolution of a wave packet in combined atomic and an intense laser field, is obtained approximately in the stabilization regime. Both the classical and quantum versions of the Floquet operator are used to study the phase-space dynamics of atomic stabilization, and the "fringe structure" in the phase-space is clearly demonstrated. Furthermore, we investigate the dynamical mechanism and characters of this striking structure, and find that this structure is very closely related to the classical invariant manifolds.

Ionization and stabilization of a three-dimensional system with a short-range potential in a strong laser field

The interaction of a three-dimensional atomic system in a short-range potential with intense laser radiation is investigated by the direct numerical integration of the nonstationary Schrödinger equation. The calculations helped to discover a stabilization regime, which is interpreted as a result of forming a Kramers-Henneberger atom “dressed” in a field. Dynamics of the energy spectrum of photoelectrons depending on the increase of the laser field intensity is investigated, and conditions of a photodetachment of an electron from a bound state of the Kramers-Henneberger potential are analyzed. These results reveal specific features of the stabilization process of the three-dimensional system with a short-range potential compared to the similar process in a system with a long-range (Coulomb) potential.     

Classical Description of Intense Field Stabilization Dynamics of 1D Model Atom

Abstract In this paper classical nonlinear dynamics approaches are used to study the intense field stabilization (IFS) for ID model atom according to differential equation (DE) and map approximation (MA). The exact stability boundary and region of I-period fixed points in the parameter space of field strength and frequency are obtained, and the results of MA are in excellent agreement with those of DE. The electrons dynamical behavior in phase space is investigated and the IFS mainly occurring in high frequency regime is confirmed. The stabilization phenomenon connected with the stable fixed points is also examined. In particular it is shown that this phenomenon depends on tightly the KAM tori. It can be predicted that the stabilization probability is just the fraction of initial electrons confined by the KAM tori.
