Competition between Quantum Interference and Stimulated Electronic Raman Scattering Processes via Hybrid Excitation in a Na2-Na System

An experimental observation of the competition between quantum interference and stimulated electronic Raman scattering (SERS) via equal-frequency hybrid excitation and collision-aided radiative excitation in a Na2-Na system is reported for the first time.It is found that the SERS for 3P1/2,3/2-4P are suppressed and the optically pumped stimulated emission (OPSE) for 5S-4P are enhanced dramatically at a particular excitation wavelength where constructive quantum interference between two transitions 3P1/2-5S and 3P3/2-5S in atomic sodium takes place.A theoretical analysis based on the dressed-atom approach is carried out to explain the experimental results.

稀土粉末Eu:Y2O3的自由感应衰减量子拍

稀土固体是重要的激光和光电子材料。目前,由于以宽带信号和太赫兹比特数据传输率为特征的信息技术的发展,稀土固体材料的相干瞬态动力学过程成为宽带与高速信息光子学的基本物理问题之一。研究了室温下稀土粉末样品Eu³⁺:Y₂O₃自由感应衰减的相干瞬态光谱,这有助于理解有效的光吸收动力学、激发态弛豫、相干能量传递和超短光脉冲在稀土固体中的传播。用一对紫外飞秒相干光脉冲作用于稀土粉末样品Eu³⁺:Y₂O₃,然后监测物质激发态的布居数随两个激发脉冲之间的延时的变化,测量到其自由感应衰减量子拍(FID),从拍频周期分析确定了其能级精细结构,能级的退相时间长达皮秒量级。理论分析和实验结果符合得很好。对稀土离子的量子干涉的研究,表明其在受激受控光放大方面具有潜在的应用前景。     

铯原子nP_(3/2)(n=70—94)里德伯态的紫外单光子激发及量子亏损测量

基于成熟的光纤激光器、光纤放大器及高效激光频率转换技术,我们在实验中研制了一套瓦级输出的窄线宽连续波单频可调谐318.6 nm紫外激光系统,并在室温铯原子气室中实现了6S_(1/2)—nP_(3/2)(n=70—94)单光子跃迁里德伯激发.借助由铯原子6S_(1/2)(F=4)基态、6P_(3/2)(F′=5)激发态和nP_(3/2)(n=70—94)里德伯态构成的V型三能级系统,通过频率锁定于铯原子6S_(1/2)(F=4)—6P_(3/2)(F′=5)超精细跃迁的852.3 nm探测光束的吸收减弱信号获得了里德伯态的信息,并利用高精度波长计测量了铯原子nP_(3/2)(n=70—94)里德伯态的量子亏损值.经过与理论计算值的变化趋势进行对比,我们认为由于原子气室的里德伯屏蔽效应并不能完全屏蔽外部直流电场,铯原子气室内存在残余的直流电场,影响了对里德伯态的量子亏损值的实验测量.利用残余直流电场的Stark效应理论模型及其与有效主量子数n*的依赖关系,对铯原子里德伯态的量子亏损实验测量值进行了修正.修正后的铯原子nP_(3/2)(n=70—94)态量子亏损测量值为3.5591±0.0007,与理论计算值相吻合.     

Inter- and intraconfigurational luminescence of Er 3+ ions in BaY 2 F 8 under VUV excitation

Using energy- and time-resolved spectroscopy the luminescence properties of Er 3+ doped BaY 2 F 8 crystals were investigated at 10 v K under VUV synchrotron radiation excitation. Radiative intraconfigurational f - f and interconfigurational d - f transitions in Er 3+ ions were observed under f - d excitation. Whereas the onset of 4 S 3/2 population via f - d excitation starts at 59 900 v cm m 1 , efficient excitation of emissions arising from the 2 P 3/2 state begins only above 67 000 v cm m 1 in VUV region. Such behaviour can be explained by a cross-relaxation process of the type ( 2 F(2) 5/2 , 4 I 15/2 ) M ( 2 P 3/2 , 2 P 3/2 ) taking place within f -states of Er 3+ ions finally populating the emitting 2 P 3/2 state.     

Constructive interference via collision—aided radiative excitation

We have studied theoretically constructive interference via collision-aided radiative excitation in an open four-level system using a density matrix approach. The four-level system consists of a Λ-type three-level quantum-beat configuration driven by one laser field and a fourth level coupled by a vacuum mode. It is shown that through the incoherent process (collision), coherence between widely-separated doublets and subsequent constructive interference can be realized. We analyse the effects of the collision-induced coherent and incoherent decay rates, laser intensity, and energy separation of the doublets on the interference. Meanwhile, the constructive interference between the two transition pathways 3P_1/2-4D and 3P_3/2-4D via equal-frequency hybrid excitation and collision-aided radiative excitation in an Na₂-Na system is experimentally observed. A good agreement between the theoretical and experimental results is obtained.

氟氧化物玻璃陶瓷中铒激活中心的双光子三光子与四光子近红外量子剪裁发光

研究了掺铒的氟氧化物玻璃陶瓷的双光子、三光子与四光子近红外量子剪裁发光.我们测量了掺铒的氟氧化物玻璃陶瓷的X 射线衍射谱、吸收谱、从可见到近红外的发光光谱与激发光谱.当Er3+浓度从0.5％增加到2.0％,发现铒离子的4I15/2→2G7/2,4I15/2→4G9/2,4I15/2→4G11/2,4I15/2→2H9/2,4I15/2→(4F3/2,4F5/2),4I15/2→4F7/2,4I15/2→2H11/2,4I15/2→4S3/2,4I15/2→4F9/2,与4I15/2→4I9/2红外激发谱峰的强度增加了大约5.64,4.26,2.77,7.31,6.76,4.75,2.40,11.14,2.88,和4.61倍,同时,铒离子的4I15/2→2G7/2,4I15/2→4G9/2,4I15/2→4G11/2,4I15/2→2H9/2,4I15/2→(4F3/2,4F5/2),与4I15/2→4F7/2的可见激发谱峰的强度减小了1.36,1.93,3.43,1.01,2.24和2.28倍.也就是说我们发现红外发光与激发的强度都增强了2～11倍,与此相伴的可见的发光与激发强度都减小了一到三倍.而且,1 543.0与550.0 nm发光的激发谱不仅在峰值波长而且也在波峰形状上非常相近.上述实验结果证实了所看到的现象为多光子近红外量子剪裁发光现象.为了更好的分析量子剪裁的过程与机理,还测量了主要的可见与红外发光强度随激发强度的改变;发现所有可见和红外发光强度都基本上是随激发强度成线性变化关系;其中,可见的发光强度随激发强度的改变呈略大于线形一次幂的变化关系,它是由于小的激发态吸收造成的;而1 543.0 nm红外发光强度随激发强度的变化呈略小于线形一次幂的变化关系,它即是量子剪裁发光的特征现象.还发现4I9/2能级的双光子量子剪裁主要由{4I9/2→4I13/2,4I15/2→4I13/2} ETr31-ETa01交叉能量传递所导致;4S3/2能级的三光子量子剪裁主要由{4S3/2→4I9/2,4I15/2→4I13/2} ETr53-ETa01和{4I9/2→4I13/2,4I15/2→4I13/2} ETr31-ETa01交叉能量传递所导致;2H9/2能级的四光子量子剪裁主要由{2H9/2→4I13/2,4I15/2→4S3/2} ETr91-ETa05,{4S3/2→4I9/2,4I15/2→4I13/2} ETr53-ETa01和{4I9/2→4I13/2,4I15/2→4I13/2} ETr31-ETa01交叉能量传递所导致.上述研究结果对目前的全球热点新一代量子剪裁太阳能电池很有价值.     

Temporal coherent control induced by wave packet interferences in one and two photon atomic transitions

The interaction of a sequence of two identical ultrashort laser pulses with an atomic system results in quantum interferences as in Ramsey fringes experiments. These interferences allow achievement of temporal coherent control of the excitation probability. We present the results of a temporal coherent control experiment on two different atomic systems: one-photon absorption in K (4s-4p) and two-photon absorption in Cs (6s-7d). In K, the quantum interferences between the two excitation paths associated with the laser pulses are revealed through rapid oscillations of the excitation probability as a function of the time delay between the two pulses. These oscillations take place at the transition frequency (period T = 2.56 fs). The interferences are modulated by beats (at about 580 fs) resulting from the doublet structure of the excited state (4p (² P _1/2 , ² P _3/2 )). Three complementary interpretations of this experiment are presented: in terms of beats of quantum interferences, of variation in the spectrum intensity, and of wave packet interferences. Whenever the two laser pulses are temporally overlapped, optical interferences are superimposed on to the quantum interferences. The distinction between these two types of interference is clearly revealed in the two-photon excitation scheme performed on Cs (6s-7d (² D _3/2 , ² D _5/2 )) because quantum interferences occur at twice the frequency of the optical interferences.

CdSeS合金结构量子点的多激子俄歇复合过程

多激子效应通常是指吸收单个光子产生多个激子的过程,该效应不仅可以为研究基于量子点的太阳能电池开拓新思路,还可以为提高太阳能电池的光电转换效率提供新方法.但是,超快多激子产生和复合机制尚不明确.这里以CdSeS合金结构量子点为研究对象,研究了其多激子生成和复合动力学.稳态吸收光谱显示, 510, 468和430 nm附近的稳态吸收峰,分别对应1S_(3/2)(h)-1S(e)(或1S), 2S_(3/2)(h)-1S(e)(或2S)和1P_P(3/2)(h)-1P(e)(或1P)激子的吸收带.通过飞秒时间分辨瞬态吸收光谱和纳秒时间分辨荧光光谱两种时间分辨光谱技术对CdSeS合金结构量子点的超快动力学进行了探究,结果显示, 1S激子的双激子复合时间大概是80 ps,这一时间比传统量子点的双激子复合时间(小于50 ps)延长了近一倍,结合最近发展的超快界面电荷分离技术,在激子湮灭之前将其利用起来,这一时间的延长将有很大的应用前景;其中,在2S和1P激子中除上述双激子复合外,还存在一个通过声子耦合路径的空穴弛豫过程,时间大概是5—6 ps.最后,利用纳秒时间分辨荧光光谱得到该样品体系单激子复合的时间约为200 ns.

SERS signal response and SERS/SERDS spectra of fluoranthene in water on naturally grown Ag nanoparticle ensembles

We present experimental results of the time‐dependent Raman signal response of fluoranthene adsorbed on a naturally grown Ag nanoparticle ensemble, which serves as surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrate. In addition, SERS characteristics such as the concentration‐dependent calibration curves and the limit of detection (LOD) for fluoranthene in distilled water will be shown. The SERS substrate was prepared by Volmer–Weber growth under ultrahigh vacuum condition and exhibits a plasmon resonance wavelength at 491 nm. For the measurement of SERS signal response and SERS/shifted excitation Raman difference spectroscopy spectra of fluoranthene in water, experimental Raman setup containing a microsystem light source with two emission wavelengths (487.61 nm and 487.91 nm) was used. We experimentally demonstrate that the maximum SERS intensity is achieved 9 min after changing the analyte concentration from 0 nmol/l to 600 nmol/l. This response time is explained by a time‐dependent adsorption of the probe molecules onto the nanoparticles. The LOD for fluoranthene in water was evaluated applying shifted excitation Raman difference spectroscopy (SERDS) at different molecule concentrations. For SERDS, two emission wavelengths of a prototype microsystem light source have been used for Raman excitation. The experimental results reveal that the LOD for the probe molecules is very low. Experimentally, we have detected a fluoranthene concentration of only 4 nmol/l, which is very close to our estimated LOD of 2 nmol/l. Thus, the presented Raman setup, with a SERS substrate, whose plasmon resonance coincides with the excitation wavelength for SERS measurements, is well suited for in‐situ trace detection of pollutant chemicals in water.
