We have evaluated the suitability of a vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser diode (VCSEL) for spectroscopic applications.
Despite its low output power it is possible to observe narrow resonances in a saturated absorption spectroscopy experiment
on the cesium D
2 transition at 852 nm, limited in width by the laser linewidth of several tens of MHz. High modulation efficiency of the VCSEL
allows us to create modulation sidebands at 9.2 GHz frequency via direct modulation of the laser injection current. Using
the carrier and either one of the sidebands coherent population trapping (CPT) resonances in a buffered cesium vapor can be
prepared with linewidths below 130 Hz. With this very compact setup we have studied the dependence of CPT resonance position
and linewidth as a function of optical detuning and find evidence of the influence of the excited state hyperfine structure.

The absolute frequency of an iodine-stabilized He-Ne laser at 633 nm stabilized on the i (or a13) component of the 11-5 R(127) hyperfine transition of the 127I2 molecule is measured using a femtosecond optical comb generator and an iodine-stabilized Nd:YAG laser standard at 1064 nm.
We link the measured absolute frequency to the current internationally adopted value via frequency intercomparison between
JILA and the Bureau International des Poids et Mesures (BIPM), leading to the determination of the absolute frequency of the
BIPM-4 standard laser. The resulting absolute frequency fi(BIPM) of the BIPM-4 standard laser is fi(BIPM)=473612214711.9±2.0 kHz, which is 6.9 kHz higher than the value adopted by the Comité International des Poids et Mesures (CIPM)
in 1997.

An optical clock based on an Er3+ fiber femtosecond laser and a two-mode He–Ne/CH4 optical frequency standard (λ=3.39 μm) is realized. Difference-frequency generation is used to down convert the 1.5-μm frequency comb of the Er3+ femtosecond laser to the 3.4-μm range. The generated infrared comb overlaps with the He–Ne/CH4 laser wavelength and does not depend on the carrier–envelope offset frequency of the 1.5-μm comb. In this way a direct phase-coherent
connection between the optical frequency of the He–Ne/CH4 standard and the radio frequency pulse repetition rate of the fiber laser is established. The stability of the optical clock
is measured against a commercial hydrogen maser. The measured relative instability is 1×10−12 at 1 s and for averaging times less than 50 s it is determined by the microwave standard, while for longer times a drift
of the He–Ne/CH4 optical standard is dominant. 相似文献

We measure the frequency of the 5s21S0-5s5p 3P0 narrowline clock transition at 236.5 nm, for a single, trapped and laser cooled 115In+ ion. In the experiment, an ultra-narrow linewidth laser (<1.34 Hz at 3 s integration time) is used to interrogate the clock transition for high resolution spectroscopy. A linewidth of 43 Hz of the clock transition is observed. The uncertainty of the line centroid is 18 Hz, leading to a fractional uncertainty of 1.4×10-14. The frequency is measured by using an optical frequency comb referenced to a cesium clock. The transition frequency is found to be 1, 267, 402, 452, 901.265 (256) kHz, averaged over 13 days of separate measurement. The accuracy of 2.35×10-13 is due to the reference cesium clock calibrated against UTC time. We discuss ways for further improvements. 相似文献

The multiphoton decomposition (MPD) probability (f) for photolysis of cyclobutanone (pressure: 0.333 kPa) with a pulsed (pulse width: 40 ns) CO2 laser tuned to the 9P(20) line, was studied,in a collimated beam geometry, as a function of fluence (=0.75 to 11.7 J/cm2). The values off () were fitted to three suggested 1- or 2-parameter models. Models with two parameters correlated the experimental values equally well, whereas a 1-parameter model was less accurate for low fluences. The MPD yield for two focussed beam geometries was measured and compared to predicted yields obtained by integrating the three models forf () over the focussed beam geometries. All three models predicted yields which agreed well with the measured values.Issued as AECL Contribution Number 8943AECL National Program Summer (1983) 相似文献

We present direct observation of the velocity-selective optical pumping of
the Cs ground state hyperfine levels induced by the femtosecond (fs) laser
oscillator centered at either D2 (6 2S1/2↦6 2P3/2,
852 nm) or D1 (6
P1/2, 894 nm) cesium
line. We utilized previously developed modified direct frequency comb
spectroscopy (DFCS) which uses a fixed frequency comb for the excitation and
a weak cw scanning probe laser centered at the 133Cs 6
2S1/2↦6 2P3/2 transition (D2 line) for ground
levels population monitoring. The frequency comb excitation changes the
usual Doppler absorption profile into a specific periodic, comblike
structure. The mechanism of the velocity selective population transfer
between the Cs ground state hyperfine levels induced by fs pulse train
excitation is verified in a theoretical treatment of the multilevel atomic
system subjected to a pulse train resonant field interaction. 相似文献

The evolution of the populations of the magnetic sublevels of the cesium atom (133Cs isotope) in resonant laser fields with linear polarization is analyzed using the equations for the density matrix. Analytic expressions are derived for stationary populations resulting from laser-induced optical transitions on the hyperfine structure components F g = 3 ? F e = 2, 3 and F f = 4 ? F e = 3, 4 of lines D 1 (62 S 1/2 → 62 P 1/2) and D 2 (62 S 1/2 → 62 P 3/2) depending on the initial values of the populations. The numerical solution of the evolution equations gives the characteristic times of stabilization of the steady regime as functions of laser field intensities and detuning from optical resonance. We determine the sequences of optical transitions increasing (by more than an order of magnitude) the population of the lower sublevel 62 S 1/2 F g = 3 M = 0 of the “clock” microwave transition F g = 3 M = 0 ? F f = 4 M = 0 in the cesium frequency standard, which increases the signal intensity in the recording system by the same proportion. 相似文献

In order to develop a coherent optical source intended for very low frequency laser spectroscopy, we have studied, manufactured and then tested (calibrated) a device for generating submillimetric waves by frequency difference in a non linear crystal.The mounting is made of two single mode and single line T E A CO2 lasers which, by means of an AsGa crystal, allows the difference f3=f1–f2 of the two near frequencies f1 and f2 emitted by each laser to be obtained.We present a system using two CO2 atmospheric lasers with a simple and efficient pre-ionization and an original treatment of the electrodes.Manufacturing characteristics of the primary sources are detailed and then the obtained Far Infra Red (F I R) emission is studied. 相似文献

This article reports the first optical frequency measurement of the 1S–3S transition in hydrogen. The excitation of this transition
occurs at a wavelength of 205 nm which is obtained with two frequency doubling stages of a titanium sapphire laser at 820 nm.
Its frequency is measured with an optical frequency comb. The second-order Doppler effect is evaluated from the observation
of the motional Stark effect due to a transverse magnetic field perpendicular to the atomic beam. The measured value of the
1S1/21\mathrm{S}_{1/2}(F = 1)-3S1/2(F = 1) frequency splitting is 2 922 742 936.729(13) MHz with a relative uncertainty of 4.5 × 10-12. After the measurement of the 1S–2S frequency, this result is the most precise of the optical frequencies in hydrogen. 相似文献

A pair of 1.5 μm semiconductor laser frequency standards have been developed for optical telecommunications use, stabilised to Doppler-free transitions of the ν1 + ν3 and ν1 + ν2 + ν4 + ν5 combination bands of 13C2H2. The Allan deviation σ/f for a laser locked to line P(10) of the former band follows a slope of 1.6 × 10−12τ−1/2, reaching a minimum of 5.7 × 10−14 at τ = 4000 s. The absolute frequencies of 61 lines of the ν1 + ν3 band and 43 lines of the ν1 + ν2 + ν4 + ν5 band, covering the spectral region 1520 nm to 1552 nm, have been measured by use of a combined frequency chain and femtosecond comb, together with a passive optical frequency comb generator. The mean uncertainties for the line frequencies within each band are 1.4 kHz for the ν1 + ν3 band and 1.9 kHz for the ν1 + ν2 + ν4 + ν5 band, representing improvements on the precision of previously published data by factors of 100 and 104, respectively. Improved values of the rotational constant B″ and centrifugal distortion coefficients D″, H″ and L″ of the vibrational ground state are presented.This article is published with the permission of the Controller of HMSO and the Queen’s Printer of Scotland 相似文献

In a Doppler-broadened ladder-type cesium atomic system (6S1/2-6P3/2-8S1/2), this paper characterizes electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) in two different experimental arrangements, and investigates the influence of the double-resonance optical-pumping (DROP) effect on EIT in both arrangements. When the probe laser is weak, DROP is explicitly suppressed. When the probe laser is moderate, population of the intermediate level (6P3/2 F'=5) is remarkable, therefore DROP is mixed with EIT. An interesting bimodal spectrum with the broad component due to DROP and the narrow part due to EIT has been clearly observed in cesium 6S1/2 F=4-6P3/2 F'=5-8S1/2 F"=4 transitions. 相似文献

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

, 2
P

)). 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

)) because quantum interferences occur at twice the frequency of the optical interferences.

An intensity-modulated HeNe-laser beam was utilized to optically actuate the mechanical resonance of a macroscopic torsional silicon oscillator (f0 = 67 700 Hz, Q = 42 100 at p = 1 mbar and T = 300 K). Both radiation pressure and photothermal effects may cause optical actuation of a mechanical device. Both excitation effects were studied. In actuation through radiation pressure, the actuating laser beam was focused on the high-reflectivity-coated oscillator surface. In the case where the intensity-modulated laser beam was incident on the uncoated silicon surface the photothermal effect was shown to be the dominating excitation factor. Oscillation amplitudes due to the actuation through radiation pressure and photothermal effects were Δ xrad = 1.4 pm and Δ xph = 4.3 pm with the same optical power of 1.5 mW. The measured resonance frequency and quality value were not changed when purely mechanical and radiation pressure actuation mechanisms were compared. With photothermal actuation the absorbed optical power heats the oscillator, introducing a slight decrease in the resonance frequency. Our experiments demonstrate that optical actuation combined with sensitive optical interferometric measurements can be utilized to perform dynamic vibration analysis of micromechanical components. Prospects of using micromechanical devices for observing extremely weak external forces are discussed. 相似文献

by laminating films comprised of nanoporous W oxide and Ni–V oxide by a polymer electrolyte and having this three-layer stack
between transparent conducting In2O3:Sn films backed by polyester foils. 1/f noise in the current (I) was observed when the charged (colored) EC device was discharged via a resistor. The power spectral density S

1/f noise intensity. These initial data indicate that 1/f noise has a potential to serve as a quality measure for EC devices. 相似文献
