掺Er3+玻璃上转换荧光的时间相干控制

在无序固体掺Er3 玻璃中实施了时间相干控制,对波长为670 nm的上转换荧光进行了调制,荧光强度随着延迟时间的变化而振荡变化,通过拟合得到波包的退相特征时间为300 fs;同时由光子回波信号测得由声子作用引起的波包退相特征时间.上述两个数据的一致性表明波包的快速退相是玻璃基底的声子作用引起的,从而为探索在无序固体中的相干时间控制提供了线索.     

Femtosecond laser-inscribed waveguides in Nd3^＋：y3^＋：SrF2 crystals

Optical waveguides are fabricated in Nd3^＋：y3^＋：SrF2 crystals by a 1-kHz femtosecond laser using the double-line approach. Waveguides with different separations （10, 15, and 20 μm） between two consecutive optical breakdown tracks are produced, and their optical performances are explored by end-fire coupling to 780-and 532-nm lasers. Propagation loss of the waveguide with 20-pro separation is estimated. The micro- photohmlinescence and micro-Raman spectra indicate that the original fluorescence and lattice structure of the Nd3^＋：y3^＋：SrF2 crystals are well preserved in the waveguide. Therefore, the obtained waveguide structures are promising candidate for application in integrated waveguidc lasers.     

室温下CdSe胶体量子点超快自旋动力学

利用时间分辨法拉第旋转光谱技术研究了室温下CdSe胶体量子点的自旋相干特性.获得了不同磁场下的自旋退相干时间,并分析了自旋退相干的物理机理.零磁场时量子点激子自旋退相干时间为102 ps,主要受电子与核自旋之间的超精细相互作用所影响.当外加横向磁场强度为250 mT时,激子自旋退相干时间为294 ps;增大磁场强度,自旋退相干时间逐渐减小.在较强磁场环境中(≥250mT),量子点激子自旋动力学由非均匀退相干机制所主导.

Highly selective population of two excited states in nonresonant two-photon absorption

A nonresonant two-photon absorption process can be manipulated by tailoring the ultra-short laser pulse.In this paper,we theoretically demonstrate a highly selective population of two excited states in the nonresonant two-photon absorption process by rationally designing a spectral phase distribution.Our results show that one excited state is maximally populated while the other state population is widely tunable from zero to the maximum value.We believe that the theoretical results may play an important role in the selective population of a more complex nonlinear process comprising nonresonant two-photon absorption,such as resonance-mediated (2+1)-three-photon absorption and (2+1)-resonant multiphoton ionization.     

Optimal Control of Population Transfer in Three-Level A System with Genetic Algorithms

Population transfer in a three-level A system is simulated numerically and optimized. Almost complete population transfer from |1) to |3) is achieved by a genetic algorithm while the population in state |2) reached minimum over the entire evolution at the same time. The result shows that the optimal pulse sequence is the well-known stimulated Raman adiabatic passage (STIRAP) scheme. The detuning of pump pulse and Stokes pulse Δp and Δs with the opposite sign and the chirps χp and χs with the same sign are in favour of the complete and robust population transfer for few-cycle laser pulse. Rabi frequencies Ωp and Ωs have insensitive effects on the complete population transfer during a large scope of their ratio when they are large enough.     

Laser induced crystallization of as-deposited amorphous Ge2Sb2Te5 films

Crystallization is induced by pulsed laser irradiation of s-deposited amorphous Ge2Sb2Te5 films. Changes of the irradiated areas have been analyzed with the reflectivity contrast. As laser fluences increasing,the reflectivity contrast increases from 0% - 2% to 14% - 16%, which indicates the structure of as deposited films transforms from amorphous to crystalline phases. The process of crystallization driven by the movement and rearrangement of atoms is described. And also the influence of the pulse duration on the threshold of crystallization is discussed, the results show that a lower threshold of crystallization can be produced for as-deposited films irradiated by the laser with short pulse duration. However, by the laser with long pulse duration, crystallization can only be formed with a higher threshold. The crystallization of films by irradiation of laser pulses is studied by Raman spectra.     

Nonlinear optical properties of 75TeO2－20Nb2O5－5ZnO glasses doped with CeO2

Nonlinear optical properties of 75TeO_2－20Nb_2O_5－5ZnO glasses doped with CeO_2 have been investigated with a self-diffracted time-resolved degenerate four-wave mixing (DFWM) technique at different excitation intensities and lattice temperatures. The DFWM signal exhibits three peaks at higher excitation intensities, where a main peak appears at zero delay time and two rather weak side peaks are located symmetrically at the negative and positive time delay. Due to destructive interferences between the fifth- and third-order polarizations, the line-shape of the main peak around the zero time delay evolves from single peak into a double-peak structure with increasing excitation intensity. Two side peaks emerge at the positive and negative time delay and gradually intensify with increasing excitation intensity or lattice temperature, and their positions are independent of the pulse duration, temperature and excitation intensity, which are attributed to the many-body Coulomb interaction.     

飞秒激光诱导瞬态光栅多级衍射

瞬态光栅测量法是一种时间分辨四波混频技术,它是研究介质非线性特性一种重要的手段.这种瞬态光栅测量方法对任何导致介质折射率改变相当灵敏,因而被广泛应用于研究物理和化学动力学过程.在介质中,当两束泵浦光在空间和时间上重合时,就构成一个光栅,光栅空间周期Λ=λex/2sin(θ/2), λex是激发波长,θ是两束激发光束之间的夹角.另外一束探测光(时间延迟)被这个光栅衍射,在布拉格衍射角度上产生一束相干光.在这种情况下,这个光栅形状是正弦的,而且只有一级衍射信号产生.然而,在超快超强激光(飞秒脉冲)作用下,可能在光栅亮区域里诱导一种 "溶解态",这样光栅形状将不再是正弦的,多级衍射信号可能产生.     

Effect of four-wave mixing on electromagnetically induced transparency in Λ-type system with a two-photon probe field

Using density matrix equation, we calculate analytically as well as numerically the effect of the four-wave mixing (FWM) field on electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) in the rubidium 5S_{1/2}-5P_{3/2}-5D_{5/2} Λ-type system with a two-photon probe field. The calculated results are in good agreement with Fulton's experimental results in 1995 Phys. Rev. A 52 2302.
