“Middle way” in the description of ultrashort electromagnetic interactions: between Fermi’s golden rule and the numerical solution of the Schrödinger equation

Valery Alexandrovich Astapenko, Egor Sergeevich Khramov, Timur Bergaliyev

Abstract A simple efficient approach describing the interaction of various quantum targets with short electromagnetic (EM) pulses firstly proposed in [1] is reviewed. This approach is based on the expression for the photoprocess probability in terms of the cross section and the Fourier transform of the EM pulse. Our method makes it possible to take into account the internal dynamics of the target and the influence of the pulse parameters in a simple way. The proposed approach is used both for the probability for the entire pulse duration, and for its dependence on the current time. In addition, the developed method is applied to generalize the simulation of the population kinetics of a quantum system to take into account the dependence of the photoprocess rate on time. It is also shown that our expression for the probability of excitation of a micro-target corresponds to the formula describing the energy loss of a non-monochromatic field in a dispersive medium and can be generalized on other EM processes.

Time Dependence of Resonant Photoprocesses Induced by Electromagnetic Pulses with Various Durations

Valery Alexandrovich Astapenko

Abstract The time dependence (on the pulse duration and on current time) of resonant photoprocesses induced by electromagnetic pulses of various durations (including ultrashort and quasi-monochromatic pulses) is analyzed using perturbation theory. Pulses with the Gaussian and exponential envelopes, as well as the Lorentzian and Gaussian spectral profiles of a photoprocess cross section are considered. Simple analytic expressions are obtained for the probability in the long-time limit. The time dependence for a given pulse duration is investigated analytically in the monochromatic and ultrashort limits and numerically for intermediate values of parameters. Specific features of the temporal dynamics, which are common for resonant photoprocesses and depend on the pulse shape and the spectral cross section profile are established.
