Abstract

A new approach to the photonic switching based on inhomogeneous broadening of vibronic bands of the molecular system, induced by electrostatic interaction of dipole moments of the electronically excited molecules, has been proposed and analyzed.

Manipulation of Molecules by Combined Permanent and Induced Dipole Forces

Břetislav Friedrich

This chapter describes a versatile technique to control molecular rotation and translation. The technique is based on the combined effect of external electric fields that act concurrently on the molecular permanent and induced dipole moments. This synergistic effect arises for any polar molecule, as only an anisotropic polarizability, along with a permanent dipole moment, is required. This is always available in polar molecules. The effect of the combined fields can be achieved either by superimposing an electrostatic and a far-off resonant optical field (i.e., one that supplies electric field strength but does not cause transitions) that act, respectively, on the molecule's permanent and induced electric dipole, or by making use of a unipolar electromagnetic pulse that seizes the permanent and induced dipole moments simultaneously. If the combined electric fields are homogeneous, only molecular rotation is affected, whereas inhomogeneous fields affect both molecular rotation and translation. As noted in the chapter, the ability to manipulate molecular rotation and translation has wide-ranging applications – in research areas as diverse as reaction dynamics, spectroscopy, higher harmonic generation and molecular orbital imaging, the focusing and trapping of molecules, as well as quantum simulation and computing.

Simulation of interaction of oriented J aggregates with resonance laser radiation

N. V. Vysotina, Victor A Malyshev, Vladimir G. Maslov +4 more

The interaction of laser radiation with single J aggregates of cyanine dyes is theoretically analyzed and numerically simulated. The quantum-mechanical calculations of the equilibrium geometry and the energies and intensities of the lowest singlet electronic transitions in pseudoisocyanine chloride and its linear (chain) oligomers are fulfilled. The data of these calculations can serve as parameters of the analyzed model of interaction of J aggregates with radiation in the one-particle density matrix approximation. This model takes into account relaxation processes, the annihilation of excitations at neighboring molecules, and inhomogeneous broadening. Assuming that the inhomogeneous broadening is absent, calculations demonstrate the existence of spatial bistability, molecular switching waves, and dissipative solitons. The effect of the inhomogeneous broadening and the radiation intensity on the effective coherence length in linear (chain) J aggregates is analyzed.

Optical bistability in a three-level lambda molecule with permanent dipole moments

Seyyed Hossein Asadpour, HAMID RAHIMPOUR SOLEIMANI

Optical bistability (OB) in a unidirectional ring cavity with a three-level Λ-type molecular system with nonzero permanent dipole moments is discussed. We found that in the (2+2)-transition processes, the permanent dipole moments induced new quantum coherence effects which lead to controlling the OB behavior of the system. Moreover, we showed that the group velocity can be switched from slow to fast or vice versa under specific conditions of difference in permanent dipole moments of the probe transition.
