Abstract: | A consistent quantum theory of a two-pulse pump-probe experiment in the femto-and picosecond spectroscopy of diatomic molecules is developed. The theory aims at the use of weak quantum femtosecond light pulses to excite molecular coherence. It is suggested that the experiment be realized using a double-frequency excitation scheme that is feasible for Na2 molecules. On the basis of the theory developed, the luminescence signals are calculated at different temperatures and different optical densities of the medium for the time range from 100 fs to ~ 100 ps. The results obtained show the presence of a strong dependence of the time and frequency spectra of a luminescence signal on the optical density of the medium at temperatures from 50 to 300 K. The proposed approach makes it possible to use the quantum coherence properties of optically dense media for more detailed study of the vibronic dynamics of diatomic molecules, in particular, detection of weak optical transitions. |
