Abstract

A survey is given of techniques for spectroscopic analysis using intensity fluctuations. Particular attention is given to counting times, the role of macroscopic sources and detectors, and the electronic constraints placed on the observations.

Biphoton spectroscopy of YAG:Er3+ crystal

А. А. Калачев, Dmitry A. Kalashnikov, Alexander A. Kalinkin +3 more

The absorption spectrum of Er3+ ions in YAG crystal in the range from 645 nm to 655 nm was measured with the resolution of 0.01 nm using the frequency-anticorrelated broadband photon pairs (biphotons) generated by spontaneous parametric down-conversion. The spectrum of the sample was measured by counting the coincidences when the impurity crystal was placed in front of the signal photon detector, whilst the wavelength of the idler photons was resolved by a monochromator which was placed in front of another photon detector. The results are in agreement with those obtained by the usual intensity measurements with a classical light source and a monochromator. It was shown experimentally that the biphoton spectroscopy, unlike the usual single photon spectroscopy, allows one to obtain the spectroscopic information in the presence of an external noise such as background thermal radiation.

A system for resonance fluorescence and Raman spectroscopy using an argon laser as the light source

W. Graham Richards, John A. Hall, A.R. Taylor

A spectroscopic system for observing low intensity sources, in particular resonance fluorescence or Raman spectra, by excitation with laser radiation is described. The sample may be placed inside the laser cavity or, more conveniently, in an external cell. The system is such as to allow relative depolarization studies to be made directly and very conveniently. For the feeblest sources an image intensifier is used as the detector.

Active local oscillator power stabilization for a hot electron bolometer heterodyne receiver

D. J. Hayton, J. R. Gao, J. Kooi +3 more

We report on the application of a new technique for actively stabilizing the power of a far infrared gas laser as the local oscillator (LO) in a superconducting hot electron bolometer (HEB) heterodyne receiver system at 2.5 THz. The technique utilizes PID feedback control of the local oscillator intensity by means of a voice-coil based swing arm actuator placed in the beam path. The HEB itself is used as a direct detector to measure incident LO power whilst simultaneously continuing to function as heterodyne mixer. Results presented here demonstrate a factor of 50 improvement in the measured total power and spectroscopic Allan variance time. Allan times of 30 seconds and 25 seconds respectively are shown for large and small area HEB's with a measured effective noise fluctuation bandwidth of 12 MHz. The technique is versatile and can be applied to any LO source and at any LO frequency.
