Abstract

The two-photon transitions forbidden in the dipole approximation by the parity selection rules were observed experimentally, for the first time, upon multiphoton ionization of atoms.

Two-Photon Excitations of Higher 5d States in Ce3+:CaF2

Swapan Kumar Gayen, Gerald J. Pogatshnik, D. S. Hamilton

The 4f-->5d near-ultraviolet transitions in Ce3+:CaF2 are dipole allowed in one-photon absorption (OPA) and first-order parity-forbidden for two-photon absorption (TPA). A relaxation of the parity selection rule due to odd crystal-field components has previously been observed1 in the TPA from the 4f ground state to the lowest 5d state. In this paper the TPA measurements are extended to include transitions to the higher 5d states.

Effect of resonance mixing of states of a three-level system on the emergence of multiphoton transitions from them

І. І. Бондар, В. В. Суран

It is established experimentally for the first time that multiphoton transitions, which are forbidden by the parity selection rules in the dipole approximation, occur from resonantly mixed states in a three-level system with probabilities approximately equal to the probabilities of multiphoton transitions that are allowed by such selection rules.

Exclusion principle for photons: Spin-statistic selection rules for multiphoton transitions in atomic systems

Timur A. Zalialiutdinov, Dmitry A. Solovyev, Leonti N Labzowsky +1 more

We establish the existence of spin-statistic selection rules (SSSRs) for multiphoton transitions with equal photons in atomic systems. These selection rules are similar to those for systems of many equivalent electrons in atomic theory. The latter are a direct consequence of the Pauli exclusion principle. In this sense, the SSSRs play the role of the exclusion principle for photons: they forbid some particular states for the photon systems. We established several SSSRs for few-photon systems. (i) First rule: two equivalent photons involved in any atomic transition can have only even values of the total angular momentum, $J$. This selection rule is an extension of the Landau-Yang theorem to the photons involved in atomic transitions. (ii) Second rule: three equivalent dipole photons involved in any atomic transition can have only odd values of the total angular momentum, $J=1,3$. (iii) Third rule: four equivalent dipole photons involved in any atomic transition can have only even values of the total angular momentum, $J=0,2,4$. We also suggest a method for a possible experimental test of these SSSRs by means of laser experiments.
