Physical Review A

Nonlinear optical properties of dimers of polar molecules in the intermediate stochastic regime

Abstract

We present evidence for the characterization of the intermediate regime of stochastic perturbations acting on a dimer of polar molecules through a steady-state degenerate four-wave-mixing experiment. The influence of the intersite correlation between the local fluctuations is considered as well.

Influence of correlated stochastic perturbations on the nonlinear optical properties of a dimer

A.S. Cordan, Alex Boeglin, A. A. Villaeys

The problem of correlated diagonal fluctuations is treated in the particular case of a dimer. Specifically, we analyze the influence of the correlation existing between the fluctuations on different sites. The local fluctuations induce a frequency modulation on the individual monomers. When these fluctuations are correlated, the internal dynamics of the dimer is altered. As a consequence, these intersite correlations give an additional contribution to the linear and nonlinear optical responses of the dimer. While this process has been discussed previously for \ensuremath{\delta}-function-correlated Gaussian-Markovian processes, we consider here the non-\ensuremath{\delta}-function-correlated case. The linear absorption spectrum and the third-order susceptibility in a degenerate-four-wave-mixing experiment are considered in order to emphasize the role of the correlated fluctuations in the linear and nonlinear regimes, respectively.

Parametric Characterization of Nonlinear Optical Susceptibilities in Four-Wave Mixing: Solvent and Molecular Structure Effects

José Luis Paz, Cecilio Julio Alberto Garrido Schaeffer, Marcos Loroño +4 more

We study the nonlinear absorptive and dispersive optical properties of molecular systems immersed in a thermal reservoir interacting with a four-wave mixing (FWM) signal. Residual spin-orbit Hamiltonians are considered in order to take into account the internal structure of the molecule. As system parameters in the dissipation processes, transverse and longitudinal relaxation times are considered for stochastic solute–solvent interaction processes. The intramolecular coupling effects on the optical responses are studied using a molecule model consisting of two coupled harmonic curves of electronic energies with displaced minima in nuclear energies and positions. In this study, the complete frequency space is considered through the pump–probe detuning, without restricting the derivations to only maximums of population oscillations. This approach opens the possibility of studying the behavior of optical responses, which is very useful in experimental design. Our results indicate the sensitivity of the optical responses to parameters of the molecular structure as well as to those derived from the photonic process of FWM signal generation.

Solvent influence on the nonlinear optical properties of molecular systems in the presence of degenerate and non-degenerate four-wave mixing

José Luis Paz, Adriana Mendoza‐Garcia

The nonlinear optical properties are studied theoretically of a molecular system immersed in a thermal bath and interacting with a four-wave mixing signal. A methodology based on cumulant expansions to obtain the average in the Fourier components associated with the coherences and populations, calculated by the optical stochastic Bloch equations, is employed. The system properties are analyzed as a function of the frequency detuning of the high-intensity pump beam and parameterized by the frequency detuning of the probe beam, both with respect to the Bohr frequency of the system. The longitudinal and transversal relaxation times and the bath effects, modeled as white noise, are also included as parameters in the calculation. Different cases, with degenerate and non-degenerate optical frequencies are examined and compared, resulting in differences related to the maximum in the population pulsation effects.

Study of the optical susceptibilities of a two-level molecular system in four-wave-mixing spectroscopy: local regime

José Luis Paz, M. Gorayeb, A. J. Hernández

It was studied the solvent influence over a two level system in the four wave mixing spectroscopy. the solvente effect was incorporated to the model in a stochastic form, through the broadening of the upper molecular level. Two intense waves of the same frequency, ω1, and another wave with minor intensity and ω2 frequency, were considered coupled to the nonlinear system, generating a new signal whose frequency is ω3, and where the wave-vectors follow the relation vector k1 + vector k1 = vector k2 + vector k3. Using the dipolar-electric and the rotating wave approximations, it was calculated the average of the coherence at the ω1, ω2 and ω3 frequencies. From that results, analytical expressions to the susceptibilities at the studied frequencies were obtained. Linear, coherent and coupled processes were identified.

Analyzing coherent and incoherent optical susceptibilities in four-wave mixing: stochasticity, symmetry, and intramolecular coupling

José Luis Paz, Cristhian Dávila, Marcos Loroño +4 more

The nonlinear optical susceptibilities are analyzed in their optical propagation length considering the incoherent-coherent contributions with the dependence on the relaxation times. In addition, some symmetry properties of the Four-Wave mixing (FWM) signal concerning the frequency detuning exchange are used in the study, without restricting ourselves to the maxima of population oscillations. We analyze the behaviors of these optical responses in a vibronic coupling scheme using a molecule model consisting of two coupled harmonic curves of electronic energies with displaced minima in position and nuclear energies. The solvent effect in our model is treated through the natural Bohr frequency shift to a time-dependent function, with explicit manifestations in its comparison as if the upper state were broadened. Our results for both FWM signal propagation and nonlinear optical susceptibilities are sensitive to the intramolecular coupling parameters, solvent stochasticity, and perturbation order for the treatment of the weak probe beam. The consideration of a second-order probe beam in FWM would not represent a significant contribution to the predicted results, since its percentage contribution is negligible within the model development framework; however, this contribution becomes important when increasing the ratio between longitudinal and transverse relaxation times.
