Abstract

The feasibility of obtaining stimulated emission of both zero and finite mass particles from nuclei is considered, and the limitations imposed on the relevant nuclear parameters determined.

Dynamic Orientation of Spin I Nuclei II

K.L. Bhatia, M. L. Narchal

The Jeffries-Abragam effect in an electron-nuclear coupled spin system (S = (1/2), I = 1) is studied in detail. From a population-distribution analysis of the system, the nuclear orientation parameters are computed and their temperature dependence discussed. Conditions for obtaining stimulated emission are examined in detail. The results are compared with those of an earlier paper.

Temporal dynamics of stimulated emission with applications in nuclear quantum optics

Andreas Reichegger, Jörg Evers

The temporal dynamics of stimulated emission is studied, with particular emphasis on stimulated emission induced by x-ray pulses interacting with nuclei. In typical nuclear forward scattering experiments, the short incident x-ray pulse is accompanied by a huge number of off-resonant background photons. This prompts the question of whether stimulated emission can be observed in the delayed nuclear scattering signal which is emitted after the incident pulse has passed. We find that the stimulated photons essentially overlap with the stimulating pulse. To overcome this problem, we identify the reduction of the delayed scattered light intensity as an alternative signature for the stimulated emission. We further study a phase-sensitive variant of stimulated emission in the low-excitation regime, which provides convenient control parameters to facilitate the detection. Finally, we analyze the possibility of observing stimulated emission in nuclei driven by free electron lasers or synchrotron radiation sources.

Feasibility study of a nuclear exciton laser

Nicolai ten Brinke, Ralf Schützhold, Dietrich Habs

Nuclear excitons known from M\"ossbauer spectroscopy describe coherent excitations of a large number of nuclei---analogous to Dicke states (or Dicke super-radiance) in quantum optics. In this paper, we study the possibility of constructing a laser based on these coherent excitations. In contrast to the free-electron laser (in its usual design), such a device would be based on stimulated emission and thus might offer certain advantages, e.g., regarding energy-momentum accuracy. Unfortunately, inserting realistic parameters, the window of operability is probably not open (yet) to present-day technology; but our design should be feasible in the UV regime, for example.
