英文摘要：

We observed two-photon emission signals from the first vibrationally excited state of parahydrogen gas excited coherently by counter-propagating laser pulses. A single narrow-linewidth laser source was used to excite the parahydrogen molecules and induce the two-photon emission process. We measured how the signal energy depended on the detuning, target gas pressure, and input pulse energies. These results are qualitatively consistent with those obtained by numerical simulations based on the Maxwell-Bloch equations with one spatial dimension and one temporal dimension. This study of two-photon emission with counter-propagating injection is an important step toward neutrino mass spectroscopy.

High-Precision Spectroscopy with Counter-Propagating Femtosecond Pulses

An experimental realization of high-precision direct frequency comb spectroscopy using counter-propagating femtosecond pulses on two-photon atomic transitions is presented. Doppler broadened background signal, hampering precision spectroscopy with ultrashort pulses, is effectively eliminated with a simple pulse shaping method. As a result, all four 5S-7S two-photon transitions in a rubidium vapor are determined with both statistical and systematic uncertainties below 10$^{-11}$, which is an order of magnitude better than previous experiments on these transitions.

Cooling and trapping of atoms and molecules by the counter-propagating pulses trains

We discuss a possible one-dimensional trapping and cooling of atoms and molecules due to their non-resonant interaction with the counter-propagating light pulses trains. The counter-propagating pulses form a one-dimensional trap for atoms and molecules, and properly chosen the carrier frequency detuning from the transition frequency of the atoms or molecules keeps the "temperature" of the atomic or molecular ensemble close to the Doppler cooling limit. The calculation by the Monte-Carlo wave function method is carried out for the two-level and three-level schemes of the atom's and the molecule…

Trapping of Atoms by the Counter-Propagating Stochastic Light Waves

We calculate the temperature of the atoms in the field of counter-propagating stochastic light waves (the chaotic-field model). We show that the temperature of the atomic ensemble depends on the autocorrelation time of the waves, their intensity and the detuning of the carrier frequency of the waves from the atomic transition frequency. The field can form a one-dimensional trap for atoms, as is readily seen from our previous investigation of light-pressure force on an atom in counter-propagating stochastic light waves [V. I. Romanenko, B. W. Shore, L. P. Yatsenko, Opt. Commun. 268 (2006) 121-1…

Momentum diffusion of atoms and nanoparticles in an optical trap formed by sequences of counter-propagating light pulses

The motion of atoms and nanoparticles in a trap formed by sequences of counter-propagating light pulses has been analyzed. The atomic state is described by a wave function constructed with the use of the Monte Carlo method, whereas the atomic motion is considered in the framework of classical mechanics. The effects of the momentum diffusion associated with the spontaneous radiation emission by excited atoms and the pulsed character of the atom-to-field interaction on the motion of a trapped atom or nanoparticle are estimated. The motion of a trapped atom is shown to be slowed down for properly…

Cold Atom Space Clock with Counter-Propagating Atoms

We discuss the feasibility to realize a space cold atom clock with counter-propagating cold atoms in microgravity. The design of the space clock is based on atomic beam clock with a Ramsey cavity, except a magneto-optical trap (MOT) is placed at each side. Cold atoms are launched from MOTs at both side of the clock simultaneously and move at counter-direction towards each other. The velocity of launched atoms is precisely controlled to the Ramsauer-Townsend resonance so that no additional collision frequency shift is taken place. Such a configuration can efficiently cancel the frequency shift …

Coherent Control of Resonant Two-Photon Transitions by Counter-Propagating Ultrashort Pulse Pairs

We describe optimized coherent control methods for two-photon transitions in atoms of a ladder-type three-state energy configuration. Our approach is based on the spatial coherent control scheme which utilizes counter-propagating ultrashort laser pulses to produce complex excitation patterns in an extended space. Since coherent control requires constructive interference of constituent transition pathways, applying it to an atomic transition with a specific energy configuration requires specially designed laser pulses. Here, we show, in an experimental demonstration, that the two-photon transit…

Capture of atoms and small particles in an optical trap formed by sequences of counter-propagating light pulses with a large area

A new trap for atoms and small particles based on the interaction between an atom and the field of counter-propagating light pulses that are partially superposed in time has been proposed. A substantial difference from the known analogs consists in that the atom-field interaction is close to the adiabatic one, which allows a considerably higher momentum to be transferred to the atom within the same time interval and makes the trap smaller in size. It has been shown that, owing to the dependence of the light pressure force on the atom velocity, the atomic ensemble is cooled at its interaction w…

Nonlinear Doppler - Free comb-spectroscopy in counter-propagating fields

The method of Doppler - free comb - spectroscopy for dipole transitions was proposed. The calculations for susceptibility spectrum for moving two-level atoms driving by strong counter propagating combs have been done. The used theoretical method based on the Fourier expansion of the components of density matrix on two rows on kv (v-velocity of group of atoms, k-projection of wave vector) and Ω (frequency between comb components). For testing of validity of this method the direct numerical integration was done. The narrow peaks with homogeneous width arise on the background of Doppler counter. …

Continuous reversal of Hanle resonances of counter-propagating pulse and continuous-wave field

In this work we study propagation dynamics of the two counter-propagating lasers, the continuous-wave (CW) laser and the pulse of another laser, when both lasers are tuned to the $F_{g}=2 \rightarrow F_{e}=1$ transition in $^{87}$Rb, and therefore can develop Hanle electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) in Rb vapor. We calculate transmission of both lasers as a function of applied magnetic field, and investigate how the propagation of the pulse affects the transmission of the CW laser. And vice versa, we have found conditions when the Gaussian pulse can either pass unchanged, or be sig…

Analysis of pattern forming instabilities in an ensemble of two-level atoms optically excited by counter-propagating fields

We explore various models for the pattern forming instability in a laser-driven cloud of cold two-level atoms with a plane feedback mirror. Focus is on the combined treatment of nonlinear propagation in a diffractively thick medium and the boundary condition given by feedback. The combined presence of purely transverse transmission gratings and reflection gratings on wavelength scale is addressed. Different truncation levels of the Fourier expansion of the dielectric susceptibility in terms of these gratings are discussed and compared to literature. A formalism to calculate the exact solution …

Controlling Magnetic and Electric Nondipole Effects with Synthesized Two Perpendicularly Propagating Laser Fields

Nondipole effects are ubiquitous and crucial in light-matter interaction. However, they are too weak to be directly observed. In strong-field physics, motion of electrons is mainly confined in transverse plane of light fields, which suppresses the significance of nondipole effects. Here, we present a theoretical study on enhancing and controlling the nondipole effect by using the synthesized two perpendicularly propagating laser fields. We calculate the three-dimensional photoelectron momentum distributions of strong-field tunneling ionization of hydrogen atoms using the classical trajectory M…

Hyperfine spectroscopy using co-propagating pump-probe beams

We have shown earlier that hyperfine spectroscopy in a vapor cell using co-propagating pump-probe beams has many advantages over the usual technique of saturated-absorption spectroscopy using counter-propagating beams. The main advantages are the absence of crossover resonances, the appearance of the signal on a flat (Doppler-free) background, and the higher signal-to-noise ratio of the primary peaks. Interaction with non-zero-velocity atoms causes additional peaks, but only one of them appears within the primary spectrum. We first illustrate the advantages of this technique for high-resolutio…

Shaping the evanescent field of optical nanofibers for cold atom trapping

We investigate trapping geometries for cold, neutral atoms that can be created in the evanescent field of a tapered optical fibre by combining the fundamental mode with one of the next lowest possible modes, namely the HE21 mode. Counter propagating red-detuned HE21 modes are combined with a blue-detuned HE11 fundamental mode to form a potential in the shape of four intertwined spirals. By changing the polar- ization from circular to linear in each of the two counter-propagating HE21 modes simultaneously the 4-helix configuration can be transformed into a lattice configuration. The modificatio…
