STEADY-STATE THIRD-ORDER NONLINEAR SPECTROSCOPY IN INHOMOGENEOUS MEDIA

Peeter Kukk, A. Freiberg

An analysis and model calculations are presented to clarity how both the electronic and vibrational inhomogeneities with no correlation between them influence the most relevant resonant steady-state third-order nonlinear optical mixing processes (CARS, CSRS, polarization spectroscopy and Raman gain (loss)).It is shown that all these processes may be divided into three groups: 1) processes yielding almost homogeneous spectra: both inhomogeneities are greatly reduced; 2) processes yielding quasihomo- geneous spectra: inhomogeneities are present, but the electronic one is not manifest in the spectrum; 3) processes yielding completely inhomogeneous spectra.The suppression of inhomogeneous broadening allows to study the excited electronic states and the ultrafast relaxation processes in inhomogeneous media more effectively than in linear spectroscopy. * About another steady-state frequency domain technique byhot luminescence measurements for the study of ultrafast energy relaxation see.e. g. f l4 ].ЁЁЗТТ NSV TEADUSTE AKADEEMIA TOIMETISED.30.

General properties of spectrally inhomogeneous media

С. В. Гапоненко

Because of inevitable size distribution, shape variations, different concentration of impurities and defects, and fluctuations of local environment and charge distribution, every ensemble of nanocrystals dispersed in some solid or liquid medium possesses inhomogeneously broadened absorption and emission spectra. Therefore, a number of properties inherent in molecular and atomic inhomogeneously broadened spectra can be a priori foreseen for nanocrystals. These include spectral hole-burning, fluorescence line narrowing under selective excitation, and decay time distribution. At the same time, spectrally selective techniques developed for inhomogeneously broadened molecular and atomic structures have been successfully applied to nanocrystals providing evaluation of individual parameters smeared as a result of inhomogeneous broadening. This chapter gives a brief overview of specific phenomena inherent in all spectrally inhomogeneous media and a survey of the relevant experimental techniques including nonlinear pump-and-probe spectroscopy, fluorescence excitation spectroscopy, and single molecule spectroscopy. Population-induced optical nonlinearity and spectral hole-burning Every real system consisting of particles with discrete energy levels exhibits absorption saturation under intense optical excitation. The only example of a nonsaturable system is an ensemble of ideal harmonic oscillators that possess an infinite number of equally spaced energy levels, optical transitions allowed only for a couple of neighboring levels, and the probability of optical transitions being proportional to the level number (Stepanov and Gribkovskii 1963).
