Temporal characteristics of few-cycle pulse on- and non-resonance propagating in a ladder-type atomic medium

Time evolution characteristic of few-cycle pulse propagating in a ladder-type atomic medium is investigated. It is shown that, time evolution of few-cycle pulse has significant difference in the both cases on- and non-resonance. In the non-resonant case, if the pulse central frequency is twice as large as medium atomic transition frequency, the pulse form (including carry-envelope phase, pulse duration, oscillation amplitude and frequency) remains unchanging or remains unchanging basically (only carry-envelope phase has some variation) in the propagation process, which means that self-induced transparency (SIT) or approximate transparency phenomenon appears. However, in the resonant case, the pulse form changes obviously in the propagation process. In addition, there is evident difference in the propagating velocity for on- and non-resonance when the pulse area is smaller.     

周期量级激光脉冲在不同密度的原子介质中传播行为的比较(英文)

利用不含慢变包络近似和旋波近似的全波Maxwell-Bloch方程组的数值解,研究了周期量级超短激光脉冲在Ladder型三能级原子介质中的传播行为并与在相应的稀疏介质中的情况进行了比较.我们发现,在传播过程中,超短脉冲在稠密介质中的时间演化规律与在稀疏介质中明显不同,而且这种差别将随初始脉冲面积的增大而加大.当初始脉冲面积较小时,在传播过程中,脉冲形状在稀疏介质中只有小的改变而在稠密介质中却有显著的变化.当初始脉冲面积足够大时,在稠密介质中在不同的传播距离处脉冲分裂为不同数量和形状的亚脉冲;在稀疏介质中脉冲形状在传播过程中仍然只有小的改变。产生以上差别的原因在于稠密原子介质中近偶极-偶极(NDD)相互作用导致的局域场修正(LFC)及比稀疏原子介质更强的极化电场的影响.其中,更强的极化电场的影响起着主要的作用,但局域场修正的作用也不能忽略,而极化电场的增强是由于原子密度的增加.     

Dynamics and control of few-cycle ultrashort pulse propagation in an asymmetric coupled-quantum-well nanostructure

The nonlinear propagation of few-cycle ultrashort pulse in an asymmetric coupled-quantum-well (CQW) nanostructure is simulated by solving numerically the full Maxwell-Bloch equations with an iterative predictor-corrector finite-difference time-domain method. The behaviors of electric field profiles for 2π and 4π ultrashort pulses in different propagating zones are predicted in details beyond the slowly varying envelope and rotating-wave approximations. This investigation may provide a guideline for optimizing and controlling ultrashort pulses in solid-state media, which are promising for practical applications in high-speed optical communications.

线偏振周期量级脉冲中H-强场光解离的不对称性

Photodetachment of H^- irradiated by linearly polarized few-cycle laser field is investigated by time-dependent Schr?dinger equation numerically. The photo-electron left-right asym-metry parameter as a function of carrier-envelop (CE) phase of few-cycle pulses is attained. We confirm the asymmetry of photoelectron distribution in H^- photodetachment and find that the maximal asymmetry parameter of H^- is equal to that of H atom under the same conditions but the corresponding CE phases are quite different. Thus a CE phase shift ap-pears. Compared to that of H atom and field free electron, the zero asymmetry CE phase shift is sensitively affected by Coulomb field. The Coulomb effect on the asymmetry of H^- photodetachment mainly behaves in the CE phase shift of H^- instead of the amplitude of asymmetry parameter curve.

Dynamic Alignment of D2 Enhanced by Two Few-cycle Pulses

Dynamic alignment of D2 induced by two few-cycle pulses was investigated by solving the time-dependent Schr?odinger equation numerically based on a rigid rotor model. The results show that alignment of D2 can be enhanced by two few-cycle pulses compared with the level achievable by a single few-cycle pulse as long as the time delay between two pulses is chosen properly, and the pulse duration of two lasers plays an important role in the aligning process of D2 molecules.

周期量级激光脉冲作用下原子电离不对称性研究

应用不对称性参量对周期量级强激光脉冲下原子电离分布的反演不对称性进行了定量分析.采用非微扰的散射理论解析方法和三个激光模式模拟超短脉冲,研究不对称性参量随激光强度、包络位相和脉冲宽度的变化.计算表明,这种不对称性是随着波包的绝对位相以正弦形式变化而变化,其最大不对称程度依赖于脉冲强度和脉冲宽度.随着激光强度的提高,不对称性参量是先降低到最小值然后增加.对脉冲宽度相对长、有几个周期量级的高强度激光,其不对称性具有显著的特点.因此,提高脉冲强度有助于对包络绝对位相变化的观察.
