单镜面附近激发态极化原子的自发辐射简

利用格林函数和费米黄金定律,我们计算了单镜面附近的激发态极化原子的自发辐射率.结果表明:原子的自发辐射与原子的极化偶极距取向有关,并且随着原子与镜面间距的增大,辐射率呈现正弦形式的振荡.当偶极距取向与镜面方向平行时,自发辐射的正弦式振荡最为激烈.但是随着极化方向与镜面方向夹角的增大,自发辐射的振荡越来越弱.当偶极距取向与镜面垂直时,振荡几乎消失.利用光子的闭合轨道理论,我们可以发现激发态原子偶极距取向影响辐射光子数的多少,从而可以改变原子的自发辐射率.

Optical rectification and frequency doubling in metal vapors

It is theoretically shown that, under conditions of two-photon absorption of radiation by metal vapors, the medium becomes considerably polarized and efficiently doubles the radiation frequency. Two physical mechanisms by which these effects can occur are detected. The first of them results from the ring frequency mixing, while the second one is caused by a polarization nonlinearity that is quadratic in the field amplitude and that is formed as a result of the electric quadrupole absorption due to the forbidden transition. The effects predicted can form the basis for new optical methods for measuring the electric quadrupole and magnetic dipole moments for forbidden atomic transitions.

Electric-and magnetic-field strengths in the Fresnel zone of a microradiator formed by an electric and a magnetic dipole

The propagation of electric and magnetic fields and of the Poynting vector in the near zone (Fresnel zone) of an electric dipole, a loop, and a dipole-loop pair is considered. The dimensions of all radiators are much smaller than the radiation wavelength. It is shown that the ideas of the field distribution (polar diagram) in the far zone cannot be applied to the properties of the field in the Fresnel zone. The radiated-power fraction that is absorbed by an object whose electrodynamic properties are close to those of biological media is found at a distance from the radiator to the absorbing object on the order of several millimeters.     

Nanoscale displacement of the image of an atomic source of radiation

Light emitted by an atomic source of radiation appears to travel along a straight line （ray） from the location of the source to the observer in the far field. However, when the energy flow pattern of the radiation is resolved with an accuracy better than an optical wavelength, it turns out that the field lines are usually curved. We consider electric dipole radiation, a prime example of which is the radiation emitted by an atom during an electronic transition, and we show that the field lines of energy flow are in general curves. Near the location of the dipole, the field lines exhibit a vortex structure, and in the far field they approach a straight line. The spatial extension of the vortex in the optical near field is of nanoscale dimension. Due to the rotation of the field lines near the source, the asymptotic limit of a field line is not exactly in the radially outward direction and as a consequence, the image in the far field is slightly shifted. This sub-wavelength displacement of the image of the source should be amenable to experimental observation with contemporary nanoscale-precision techniques.     

Modulation spectroscopy using the beam-foil light source

When a beam of ions passes through a thin exciter foil, certain radiation emitted by the beam particles can exhibit time-periodic intensity variations. These variations can be induced by external E and H fields, or they can be the result of the field-free atomic structure itself.Intensity modulations observed so far in beam-foil spectroscopy can be divided into three classes: (1) Quantum mechanical interference of fine structure levels. This is a QM resonance arising from time-dependent populations of emitting states having different transition probabilities. The resonance is induced by external constant electric fields. (2) Initial coherent superpositions of radiating states. This results from the creation of M_L alignment at the instant of excitation by the foil. The modulations are field free and are observed in polarized light. (3) Rotating electric dipole in a magnetic field. When alignment occurs, the intensity of the beam radiation after excitation satisfies the relation I(t) = = I₀[1+Acos(2γHt)] e^?αt. The modulation will be a function of the magnetic field H and the gyromagnetic ratio γ.These effects can be used to study Lamb shifts, g-values, fine structure levels, and interaction processes.     

Computation of far radiation field of an arbitrarily oriented dipole above layered anisotropic half space

Based on the reciprocity theorem, the far field formulation of an arbitrarily oriented electric dipole located at the interface of layered anisotropic half space is deduced. Then, considering the optical path difference of the direct wave and reflected wave, the formulation of the electric dipole located above the interface of layered anisotropic half space is discussed, and the transmission matrix method for computing the reflection coefficients of anisotropic layered half space is introduced in detail. Finally, numerical examples of the field produced by an electric dipole located above layered anisotropic half space are given. The numerical results show that this method can be used in the fast computation of far radiation field of an arbitrarily oriented dipole above layered anisotropic half space.     

Three-dimensional focus engineering using dipole array radiation pattern

A systematic three-dimensional focus engineering method based on the dipole-array radiation pattern is proposed. High numerical aperture focusing of generalized cylindrical vector beam is interpreted as the reversing of the radiation from electrically small dipole arrays. Required pupil plane illumination can be found for the desired focal field with specific characteristics. Magnetic-dipole array radiation is utilized to create ultra-long (~ 8λ) diffraction limited three-dimensional optical tube with maximal uniformity. Combined with a recently reported optical needle field generation with the help of electric dipole array radiation, ultra-long (~ 8λ) three-dimensional flattop focus that has top hat profiles in both transversal and longitudinal directions can be realized with the help of radiations pattern from co-located magnetic and electric dipole arrays.     

Focusing of an atomic beam by a Fresnel atom microlens

Focusing of an atomic beam by a Fresnel atom microlens formed by an optical field diffracted by an aperture whose size is comparable to or greater than the radiation wavelength is considered. It is shown that the dipole gradient force enables one to focus the atomic beam to a spot of about 10 nm in diameter. The focusing properties of a Fresnel atom microlens are analyzed within a model describing the dipole interaction of rubidium atoms with monochromatic radiation near the D-line.     

Emission spectra following radiation trapping switching off: coherent effects detected up to resonance and signal enhancement

This paper reports strong-field modified emission spectra of a dipole allowed transition to the ground state, detected in an optically thick vapour subject to radiation trapping. The strong field coupled the higher level of the atomic transition to an upper level of the same atomic species (strontium). The coherence effects were outlined up to resonance in rather dilute vapour conditions. Enhancement of the fluorescent signal after radiation trapping switching off depends on the overlapping of the coupling laser beam with the radiation trapping region.     

Improving signal-to-noise ratio for the forensic analysis of glass using micro X-ray fluorescence spectrometry

Micro X-ray fluorescence spectrometry (μXRF) is a standard technique used for the elemental analysis of glass fragments in forensic casework. The glass specimens encountered in casework are usually small (<1 mm), thin fragments that are partially transparent to the exciting X-ray beam. In addition to providing fluorescence from the small glass fragments, the primary beam X-rays can scatter within the chamber and provide noise in the measurements. To reduce scatter from the sample stage, the fragments are typically mounted on a thin plastic film and raised on an XRF sample cup (≤3 cm in height). However, at these heights, there may still be significant scatter from the sample stage, which adversely affects the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and the limit of detection (LOD). A plastic mount was designed and 3D-printed in-house to allow fragments to be raised as high as possible from the sample stage, thereby minimizing stage scatter. Most elements detected in glass showed an improvement in the SNR when using the 3D-printed mount for analyses. The greatest improvement (>30%) was observed for lower atomic number elements (Na and Mg) and higher atomic number elements (Sr and Zr). Another simple method to improve SNR is the use of primary beam filters; when using primary beam filters during analyses, elements with characteristic lines in the high-energy range (Rb, Sr, and Zr) showed the greatest improvement (>70%) in SNR. The impact of both strategies for the improvement of SNR is presented here.
