GaAs/AlAs超晶格中声子-声子的量子相干耦合

Phonon-Phonon Quantum Coherent Coupling in GaAs/AlAs Superlattice

Feng He, Nathanial Sheehan, Seth R Bank, Raymond L Orbach, Yaguo Wang

摘要:

在室温下,在两种GaAs/AlAs超晶格(8 nm/8 nm和5.4nm/5.4nm)中观察到一个带心声子与两个声学声子之间的量子相干耦合.利用简并相干声子谱,两种样品的时间分辨声子振幅都出现了多周期振荡特征,这是由于第一布里渊区中心附近的一个驱动声子模与两个目标声子模之间的相干能量交换.这一特征类似于光子共振参数下/上转换过程,以及光场和机械振荡器之间的可逆相干能量交换,表明驱动和目标声子模式之间的量子相干耦合。在8 nm/8 nm超晶格中,耦合强度在高泵浦能量密度下非线性增加,最终可能达到一个极端状态,即所有三个声子模共享同一个相干态,正如Orbach在20世纪60年代预测的那样。

英文摘要:

Quantum coherent coupling between a zone-center phonon and two acoustic phonons was observed in two GaAs/AlAs superlattices (8 nm/8 nm and 5.4 nm/5.4 nm) at ambient temperature. Using degenerate coherent phonon spectroscopy, a multi-cycle oscillation feature appears in the time-resolved phonon amplitudes of both samples, as a result of the coherent energy exchange between a driving phonon mode near first Brillouin zone center and two target acoustic phonon modes. This feature resembles the photon resonant parametric down/up-conversion processes, as well as the reversible coherent energy exchange between the optical field and a mechanical oscillator, suggesting quantum coherent coupling between the driving and target phonon modes. In the 8 nm/8 nm superlattice, the coupling strength increases nonlinearly at high pump fluences, which may eventually reach an extreme state where all three phonon modes share the same coherent state, as predicted by Orbach in the 1960s.
