Abstract

The splitting of the line of resonance scattered light from atomic systems, being a mong the most interesting phenomena in resonance nonlinear optics has received considerable attention during the past decade [1–11]. It is known by now that the number of lines into which the spontaneous scattered light spectrum splits, grows up with increasing the number N of strongly coupled atomic (or molecular) levels as N(N-1)+1 [10, 11]. But while the character of resonance fluorescence (RF) from a two- and three-level systems has been extensively studied [1–91], the number of papers devoted to the spectral structure of scattered light from systems with N>3 is scarce. In reality there is only one work [12], known to us, which treat s certain aspects of the spectrum of RF from a four-level system irradiated by three strong light fields at exact resonance.

Resonance interaction of intense light with atoms

Nikolai B. Delone, В. П. Крайнов

Some typical resonance nonlinear-optics phenomena taking place when light interacts with atoms are considered. The multitude of such phenomena reduces to scattering of the perturbing light, perturbation of the atomic spectrum, excitation of an atom and its ionization. In all these cases the investigations are carried out using the simplest model—an isolated atom in a monochromatic external field. Such a model enables one to give an exact description of many elementary processes. On the other hand it is sufficiently realistic. A detailed investigation is carried out of resonance fluorescence, spontaneous Raman scattering, multiphoton excitation of atoms, resonance shifts and splitting of atomic levels and resonance lonication of atoms. The nature of these processes is investigated as a function of the intensity of the external field, its frequency, a specific atomic spectrum, the nature of polarization of the perturbing field, and the degree of its nonlinearity. The role played by the field of the electromagnetic vacuum is analyzed. Theoretical predictions are compared with the results of many experiments describing resonance processes of the interaction of an intense light field with atoms.

The Atomic Operators Characteristic of the Split Components in the Study of Resonance Fluorescence from a Two-Level Atom

L. M. Bali, Sharmishtha Roy, Snehlata Kalia

The atomic operators with characteristic oscillations at the peak frequencies of each of the three split components in the scattering of an intense monochromatic electromagnetic field by a two-level atom are determined. The coupling of the atom-applied-field system with the damping oscillators via these operators is investigated to evaluate the spectrum of the scattered light when the separation of the spectral lines is much larger than their widths.

Modification of resonance Raman scattering in very intense laser fields

Claude N. Cohen-Tannoudji, Serge Reynaud

The general method developed in a previous paper (see ibid., vol.10, p.345 (1977)) is applied to the problem of resonance Raman scattering in very intense laser fields. At very low intensities the spectrum consists of three monochromatic lines (Rayleigh, Raman Stokes and anti-Stokes) which split into a triplet and two doublets when the laser light, tuned on one of the two transitions connecting the upper state to the two lower sublevels, has a sufficiently high intensity to saturate this transition but not the second one. The Raman and Rayleigh lines are completely mixed when the intensity becomes so high that both transitions are saturated. The corresponding evolution of the spectrum is determined. Optical-pumping effects leading to asymmetries in the fluorescence spectrum are taken into account.

Resonance fluorescence and resonance Raman lineshapes in strong radiation fields

Yitzhak Rabin, A. Ben‐Reuven

Lineshapes of three-level resonance Raman scattering and two-level resonance fluorescence, homogeneously broadened by collisions, in the presence of arbitrarily strong coherent radiation, are studied by means of a tetradic (density-matrix) scattering theory. In the case of medium coupling strength V L to the radiation field (where T 2 -1 <or=V L << tau c -1 , with T 2 and tau c being the coherence damping and collision times, respectively) the Mollow lineshape (1977) for resonance fluorescence is rederived, with proper T 2 and population cross-relaxation effects included. In particular it is shown that relaxation through intermediate non-resonant levels can considerably alter the lineshape in resonance fluorescence. In the case of strong coupling (V L >or approximately= tau c -1 ) the collision rates are modified by the applied field (optical collisions). It is shown that, whereas in self attenuation spectra optical collision rates can be obtained only from line intensity or line wing measurements, in resonance scattering these rates are directly obtained from linewidth measurements.

Resonance fluorescence from linearly coupled vibronic systems: stationary spectrum

H. Kühn, W. Vogel, D.‐G. Welsch

Using the model of displaced potential energy surfaces, we studied the spectrum of the resonance fluorescence light from vibronic systems. In this model, equal vibrational frequencies in the two electronic quantum states allow many vibronic transitions to be in resonance with a monochromatic driving laser field tuned to the electronic transition frequency. Level splittings in the strong-field case give rise to a multiple-line spectrum of the scattered light. In particular, the Rayleigh component consists of a superimposed series of triplets, whereas the Raman part is built up by superimposed quadruplets.

The shape and width of resonance Raman spectral lines

Josef Behringer

Abstract Presupposing exponentially decaying states (with phenomenological lifetimes) of the particle system interacting with the radiation field, the shape and width of Raman lines is discussed on a quantum‐mechanical basis for the most important types of excitation: non‐resonance, pre‐resonance, rigorous resonance with a continuum level and with a discrete, non‐degenerate, and isolated level; monochromatic and non‐monochromatic irradiation. Attention is called to peculiar intensity distributions of the secondary radiation obtainable by sufficiently monochromatic excitation in near resonance to an isolated state (resonance fluorescence case) which deviate characteristically from those customary in traditional fluorescence and scattering spectra.
