Two-photon absorption line profile of ions captured in a trap

Abstract

The two-photon absorption line profile in a standing wave field is found for particles captured in a three-dimensional trap. When the transverse dimension of the optical beam is comparable with the size of the trap, transit broadening is eliminated and the line profile is that of a resonance having the homogeneous width. For optical beams of small dimensions, homogeneous-width resonances occur in the line profile if the frequency of the ion oscillations in the trap is greater than the homogeneous width.

Influence of thermal effects on the two-photon absorption line profile of ions captured in a trap

Е. А. Титов, V. A. Ulybin

An investigation is made of the two-photon absorption line profile in a standing-wave field for particles trapped in an oscillator potential at right angles to the optical beam. It is found that this profile is an equidistant lattice of resonances if the oscillation frequency and the amplitude of the ion thermal oscillations are greater than the homogeneous line width and the size of the optical beam, respectively. Allowance for the thermal quadratic Doppler and Stark effects results in broadening of each resonance and changes its profile. A new method of eliminating thermal broadening of the spectral components of the line profile is discussed

Two-photon absorption resonance in the presence of transit effects

E. V. Baklanov, B Ya Dubetskiĭ

An analysis is made of the influence of transit effects on the profile of a two-absorption line of a gas interacting with a standing wave field. It is shown that in the case of a confined light beam the resonance width is governed by the transit times of atoms across the beam. When two light beams separated by a large distance are present, there is an additional resonance line of width which is the reciprocal of the transit time between the beams. This resonance is analyzed allowing for the relaxation of atomic levels.

Profile of a two-photon resonant absorption line calculated allowing for the quadratic Doppler effect

Vladimir G. Minogin

The profile of a two-photon resonant absorption line of a particle subjected to a standing optical wave is calculated allowing for the quadratic Doppler effect. It is shown that the line profile is governed entirely by the ratio of the homogeneous line width to the quadratic Doppler frequency shift. An exact expression is obtained for the line profile in the second order in ν/c and the main approximations are considered. The profiles are calculated for the 1S-2S and 1S-3S transitions in the hydrogen atom.

Two-photon absorption line shapes in the transit-time limit

Kevin K. Lehmann

A weak excitation transit-time resolution limited analytic line shape is derived for a Doppler broadening-free degenerate two-photon transition from a standing wave with a TEM00 transverse profile. This approximation is appropriate when the collisional mean free path is much larger than the transverse width of the TEM00 beam. It is considerably simpler than the two-photon absorption line shape previously published, Bordé, C. R. Hebd. Seances Acad. Sci., Ser. B 282, 341–344 (1976), which was derived for more general experimental conditions. The case of a saturating field, with an intensity-dependent shift of the resonance frequency, is treated and expressed in reduced units. Numerical calculations are presented for the line shape for a range of the reduced intensity and light intensity shifts values.

Two-photon resonance in a standing-wave field under conditions of longitudinal interaction with an atomic beam

E. V. Baklanov, B Ya Dubetskiĭ, V. A. Ulybin

An analysis is made of the feasibility of obtaining two-photon absorption resonances of 10–100 Hz width under conditions of longitudinal interaction with a standing-wave field. The long atom– field interaction time makes it possible to increase the resonance intensity. It is established that in a system with a beam of atoms propagating along an optical beam, the contribution of slow atoms results in the formation in the second derivative of the line profile of a resonance characteristic with a radiative width. An analysis is made of the influence of the quadratic Doppler effect, Stark effect, and saturation.

Influence of the quadratic Doppler effect on the absorption line profile of particles captured by a trap

Е. А. Титов, V. A. Ulybin

It is found that allowance for the quadratic Doppler effect broadens and changes the resonance absorption line profile of particles trapped in an oscillator potential comprising a periodic lattice of resonances having an envelope in the form of a conventional Doppler profile, if the particle oscillation frequency is greater than the homogeneous line width. When the quadratic Doppler shift is small compared with the homogeneous line width, its influence is reduced to a shift of the resonances. A new possibility for eliminating thermal broadening of individual resonances is discussed.
