Laser-induced breakdown of krypton near five-photon ionization threshold

Selective excitation of laser-induced breakdown in krypton in the pressure range 1–4 bar and the spectral range 420–620 nm at a laser intensity of 10¹¹ W/cm² has been studied. It is shown that the breakdown of krypton can be induced selectively due to resonantly enhanced multiphoton ionization via excited atomic states. A number of four- and five-photon atomic resonances have been identified in breakdown excitation spectra. The role of different factors determining the selectivity of the breakdown has been studied. Possible analytical applications of a selective breakdown are discussed.     

Orientation of Cs 6p 2P3/2 atomic photofragments in a magnetic field: interference in the photodissociation of diatomic molecules

In a magnetic field, Cs₂ molecules were excited from the ground X¹Σ⁺_g(v_X=0,J_X=55) level to the D ¹Σ⁺_u(v=46,J=54) level by dissociation laser light linearly polarized parallel to the field, for which the magnetic sublevels were degenerated and thus all the transitions between them were simultaneously stimulated. Probe laser light excited the dissociated Cs 6p²P_3/2 atomic fragments to 6p²D_3/2 level and the resultant 6p²P_1/2 - 6d²D_3/2 emission was detected as the function of the wavelength of the probe light. The populations of the 6p²P_3/2,mj magnetic sublevels were determined from the relative strengths of the 6p²P_3/2,mj - 6d²D_3/2,m'j transitions induced by the probe light. Non-zero orientation O₀ was found in the ensemble of dissociated Cs 6p²P_3/2 atomic fragments. The orientation O₀ increased as the magnetic field strength increased. It was demonstrated both experimentally and theoretically that the orientation O₀ was induced through the interference in the excitation and dissociation paths in the presence of an external magnetic field, even when all degenerated transitions between the magnetic sublevels of the molecules are simultaneously excited by the light linearly polarized parallel to the field.

Measurement of diameter of metal cylinders using a sinusoidally vibrating interference pattern

A method for measuring external diameters of metal cylinders is proposed in which a sinusoidally vibrating interference pattern (SVIP) of 100-μm period is used as an exact scale. Lights from the end-points of a metal cylinder are extracted with a spatial filtering in an imaging system to form a cross-sectional image of the metal cylinder. On the image a sinusoidally phase-modulated signal owing to the SVIP is detected with a CCD image sensor to measure the phases of the SVIP at the two end-points of the cylinder. The coordinates of the two end-points are obtained from the phases at the two end-points, the phase distribution of the SVIP, and the coordinates of the pixels of the CCD image sensor. Metal cylinder diameters of 7.99, 8.00, and 9.00 mm are measured along their length directions with an error less than 1 μm.

Interference of transverse rings in multifilamentation of powerful femtosecond laser pulses in air

We observe multiple filaments and interference of their ring structures in the propagation of 14 mJ, 45 fs infrared laser pulse in air. We suggest a simple physical model describing the formation and the interference of rings as the result of superposition of the background field of the whole beam and the fields that diverge from the filaments due to the defocusing in the laser-produced plasma. The size and the number of maxima in the interference pattern depend on the position of the filament formation along the direction of propagation. The simulated picture of the ring structure interference is in qualitative agreement with the one obtained from the experiment.

沙国河等人在CO(A1∏(v=0)~e3∑-(v=1))体系与He,Ne和Ar碰撞诱导转动传能中首次观测到了量子干涉效应,并测量了干涉度。从理论上进一步研究原子-双原子分子体系碰撞诱导转动传能中量子干涉效应与转动量子数以及能量间隔的关系是十分必要的。我们考虑长程相互作用势,应用一级玻恩近似和直线轨迹近似,分别计算了CO(A1∏(v=0)~e3∑-(v=1))体系和He,Ne,Ar碰撞诱导转动传能中不同转动量子数以及不同能量间隔下的干涉角,得到了干涉角随转动量子数和能量间隔的变化趋势。这些结果对设计、分析这种类型的实验有一定的指导意义。     

Influence of the central metal atom on the nonlinear optical properties of MPcs solutions and thin films

Third order nonlinear optical susceptibility (χ^〈3〉) of metallophthalocyanines (MPcs, where M = Co, Cu, Zn, Mg) thin films and solutions was investigated by standard backward degenerate four wave mixing (DFWM) method at 532 nm. Third harmonic generation (THG) measurement at 1064 nm performed on MPcs thin films is also discussed. MPcs thin films were grown by conventional thermal evaporation in high vacuum and solution were dissolved in tetrahydrofuran (THF), in which the studied materials are soluble. In the case of microscopic nonlinearity, we calculated the second order hyperpolarizability (γ) for MPcs solutions. We found that the χ^〈3〉 and the γ values are affected by the nature of the central metal atom. We also found that the value is larger than that measured via THG experiment. The variation in χ^〈3〉 values occurs due to the different resonance contributions.

本文研究了一端弹性支撑的并列双柱和串列双圆柱在气流中自由端的振幅响应，与单圆柱相比，在小间距时，串列双圆柱中前柱的横向振幅受到较强的激励。而在大间距时，振幅受到抑制，特别当Ｌ／Ｄ＝３．５和４．０时，其振幅响应仅为单柱的１／３左右，而对于后柱，则在大间距时，纵向振幅响应有所增大，而且后柱的振幅响应要比前柱的大得多，而并列双圆柱的自由端振幅基本上受到抑制，在Ｔ／Ｄ＞３．０之后，干扰很快减小到接近单个圆
