Abstract

The pump pulse creates nonstationarity and coherence in the medium. The amplification (absorption) of the probe pulse in the nonstationary coherent medium belongs to phase-dependent Raman amplification (absorption). In this inversionless mechanism of amplification the phase is determined by the delay time between the pump and the probe pulses.

Limitations of pump-probe femtosecond time-resolved experiments: Time-dependent absorption and dispersion line shapes

Benjamin Fain, S. H. Lin, Vadim Khidekel

In ultrashort (femtosecond) pump-probe spectroscopy, the pump pulse creates a nonstationary medium while the probe pulse propagates in such a medium. The analysis of this situation is performed in the framework of linear nonstationary optics. Constitutive equations and electrodynamics of the nonstationary media are analyzed. The propagation of the probe-pulse energy is characterized by the coarse-grained susceptibility introduced in the previous works of the authors [S. H. Lin and B. Fain, Chem. Phys. Lett. 157, 233 (1989); B. Fain, S. H. Lin, and N. Hamer, J. Chem. Phys. 91, 4485 (1989); B. Fain and S. H. Lin, Chem. Phys. 161, 515 (1992)]. The main objective of the paper is the derivation and analysis of the delay-time-dependent absorption and dispersion line shapes of the probe pulse. This line shape has a very specific form corresponding to phase-dependent Raman absorption (emission). The latter phenomenon is introduced and described in the present paper.

Delay-Dependent Amplification of a Probe Pulse via Stimulated Rayleigh Scattering

Mikhail Vladimirovich Fedorov, Sergey V. Popruzhenko, David F. Zaretsky +1 more

Stimulated Rayleigh scattering of pump and probe light pulses of close carrier frequencies is considered. A nonzero time delay between the two pulses is shown to give rise to amplification of the delayed (probe) pulse accompanied by attenuation of the pump, both on resonance and off resonance. In either case, phase-matching effects are shown to provide a sufficiently large gain, which can exceed significantly direct one-photon absorption losses.

Coherent interaction effects in probe pulse experiments

B. Wilhelmi, Joachım Herrmann

An investigation is made of resonance absorption of picosecond pulses when time-delayed approximately collinear or exactly counterpropagating pump and probe pulses are superposed in a sample. The coherent and incoherent components of the influence of the probe beam on the absorption are calculated as a function of the delay time. In addition, the influence of phase modulation of the pump wave and emission of waves of different diffraction orders is studied.

Contribution of phase gratings in pump- probe measurements of induced absorption

Tony F. Heinz, Stephen L. Palfrey

In pump-probe experiments, the coherent interaction between the pump and probe pulses must be taken into account when determining response times comparable with pulse duration. Previously, only the contribution to the coupling arising from the induced amplitude grating in the sample has been considered.1–4 We show here that contributions resulting from a phase grating must also in general be Included.5

Slow light amplification in a non-inverted gain medium

Filippo Caruso, I. Herrera, Saverio Bartalini +1 more

We investigate the propagation of a coherent probe light pulse through a three-level atomic medium (in the Λ-configuration) in the presence of a pump laser under the conditions for gain without inversion. When the carrier frequency of the probe pulse and the pump laser are in a Raman configuration, we show that it is possible to amplify a slow propagating pulse. We also analyze the regime in which the probe pulse is slightly detuned from resonance where we observe anomalous light propagation.

Coherent amplification without inversion of femtosecond optical pulses

John N. Sweetser, Thomas J. Dunn, Ian A. Walmsley

Recent progress has been made in the theoretical and experimental study of the amplification of optical signals without population inversion (AWI) of the participating electronic levels. Induced coherence among appropriate levels in the active medium is the necessary condition for obtaining AWI. Similarly, the generation of wave packet states in atoms and molecules also relies on the coherent superposition of several states. It is feasible, therefore, that AWI is possible in a system which has been excited into a wave packet state. We have thus demonstrated experimentally such amplification in an extended sample of sodium dimers and we term this process wave packet amplification (WPA). An important characteristic of WPA is that the gain is doubly phase-sensitive—it is modulated at both the wave packet oscillation period and the optical period. The former time-dependence is a result of the periodic revivals of the pump-induced electronic polarization and the latter optical phase-sensitivity is a manifestation of the coherent nature of the molecular wave packet. The experiments to be described use a time-resolved upconversion method to detect the change in energy of a 50 fs probe pulse after it passes through a sodium heat pipe that has been pumped with another 50 fs pulse. The maximum saturated energy gain in this system is four and corresponds to all of the available energy being transferred from the wave packet to the probe pulse.
