A tunable source from the visible to deep ultraviolet generated by molecular modulation in room temperature hydrogen

Wei-Jan Chen, A. H. Kung

The beating of a tunable UV laser with a strongly driven vibrational Raman coherence in H2efficiently produces a beam of broadly tunable coherent light with a 50% total energy conversion to the new wavelengths.

Generation of subfemtosecond pulses with coherence modulation using high-order stimulated Raman scattering

Jian Wu, Heping Zeng

We suggest that subfemtosecond pulses can be generated by using high-order stimulated Raman scattering when a Raman transition is driven by three intense single-mode laser beams with two different modulation frequencies. An oscillatory strong Raman coherence is established by the modulated molecular modulation. Numeric simulations based on the first fundamental vibrational Raman transition of gaseous and solid deuterium indicate that subfemtosecond pulses can be generated by Raman excitations with above, below, or opposite Raman detunings.

Rotational master equation for cold laser-driven molecules

Anicka Adelsward, Sascha Wallentowitz, W. Vogel

The equations of motion for the molecular rotation are derived for vibrationally cold dimers that are polarized by off-resonant laser light. It is shown that, by eliminating electronic and vibrational degrees of freedom, a quantum master equation for the reduced rotational density operator can be obtained. The coherent rotational dynamics is caused by stimulated Raman transitions, whereas spontaneous Raman transitions lead to decoherence in the motion of the quantized angular momentum. As an example the molecular dynamics for the optical Kerr effect is chosen, revealing decoherence and heating of the molecular rotation.
