Photoluminescence of aromatic compounds in photon traps under resonant pulse-periodic excitation

Abstract

The photoluminescence spectra of aromatic compounds in a photon trap under ultraviolet pulse-periodic excitation are recorded. It is shown that the photoluminescence spectrum shape depends on the material layer thickness in a cell, physical state of the sample, and exciting radiation characteristics: as the layer thicknesses decreases, the intensity is significantly redistributed, which is explained by the transition from spontaneous luminescence to superluminescence.

Raman scattering in condensed media placed in photon traps

A. P. Goncharov, В. С. Горелик, А.В. Кравцов

A new type of resonator cells (photon traps) has been worked out, which ensures the Raman opalescence regime (i.e., the conditions under which the relative Raman scattering intensity at the outlet of the cells increases significantly as compared to the exciting line intensity. The Raman scattering spectra of a number of organic and inorganic compounds placed in photon traps are studied under pulse-periodic excitation by a copper-vapor laser.

Спектры фотолюминесценции ДНК и АДФ, находящихся в фотонных ловушках, при ультрафиолетовом возбуждении

The main purpose of the article is to examine and record the photoluminescence spectra of deoxyribonucleic acid and adenosine diphosphate in photon traps under ultraviolet radiation. The findings of the research show that in the small (∼ 1 mm3)volume of photon trap radiation trapping occurs in the substance under study. Thereis a significant redistribution of intensity, due to the transition from spontaneous luminescence to superluminescence. On the basis of the experiments conducted we conclude that laser generation in deoxyribonucleic acid and similar in structure biological compounds is possible

Photoluminescence of quantum-confined semiconductor structures

Sorin Mosor

Different aspects of the photoluminescence from semiconductor quantum-confined structures are studied in this dissertation, for a better understanding of fundamental physics of semiconductors.The precursor of any photoluminescence study is the characterization of the linear optical properties of the semiconductor structure. High resolution absorption measurements were performed in order to study the interplay of disorder and acoustic phonon scattering in a quantum well. Also, reflectivity measurements, together with a fitting procedure based on the transfer matrix formalism, are used to determine the thickness of samples.Excitons are atom-like quasi-particles, formed from a bound electron-hole pair. They follow a Bose-Einstein statistic, so in principle it is possible to achieve an excitonic Bose-Einstein condensate. Time resolved photoluminescence measurements were performed over an extensive range of lattice temperatures and carrier concentrations, in order to determine the fraction of excitons formed from the electron-hole plasma in a quantum well, after non-resonant excitation. The experimental spectra were compared to a pure plasma calculation first, then excitons were taken into account. The highest fraction of formed excitons is found for low temperatures and intermediate carrier densities. This fraction is found to be very small, and this has clear implications on the excitonic Bose-Einstein condensation studies.The photoluminescence emitted left and right from a quantum well is interfered in a modified Mach-Zender interferometer. It is shown that the light emitted on the two paths will interfere for a V-shape geometry and will not for any other paths.A structure formed by placing a quantum well in a field antinode of a resonant planar microcavity exhibits normal mode coupling: splitting of the resonance spectral line. The coherence properties of the photoluminescence from a normal-mode-coupling microcavity are studied using another version of the Mach-Zender interferometer. The degree of coherence measured in this way depends greatly on the pump wavelength and intensity, ranging from zero to 0.8. However, direct observation of the emission speckle shows significant coherence in all cases. The difference is explained by the different methods used to evaluate the coherence.The strong coupling between a quantum dot and a photonic crystal nanocavity is investigated by observation of photoluminescence. A new method of tunning the cavity wavelength by deposition of a thin film of solid Xenon on all the surfaces of the sample is presented. The method allows the scanning of the cavity wavelength with about 5 nm without a decrease in the quality factor and without changing the temperature.Finally, an extensive study of the quality factors of quantum dot photonic crystal nanocavities is presented. The role of the quantum dot ensemble absorption is investigated. At higher excitation levels, lasing is observed and discussed.

Resonant diffraction of electromagnetic waves from solids (a review)

Eougenious L. Ivchenko, Alexander N. Poddubny

The subject of the review is the diffraction of an electromagnetic wave on a periodic condensed matter where the Bragg condition is satisfied at the frequency of resonance excited in this medium. The Bragg systems known as resonant photonic crystals in general have been considered, and the propagation, reflection, transmission, and diffraction of electromagnetic radiation in different objects—(I) periodic quantum-well structures near the exciton resonance, (II) optical lattices of atoms cooled in a laser field, and (III) bulk crystals and multilayers with gamma-ray resonance intranuclear transitions—have been described in a unified context. The main attention has been paid to the steady-state linear diffraction, including resonant reflection and transmission, which is the best studied and allows a comparison of the three aforementioned systems with the aim of revealing specific characteristics and common features. A characteristic common property of the considered systems is the suppression of non-radiative channels and an inhomogeneous broadening of the resonance frequency. The second fundamental property of resonant photonic crystals is that the interaction of light with resonant excitation can occur in two regimes depending on the thickness of the sample. In the superradiant regime realized for a small number of resonant layers N (fine structures), the height of the peak and half-width of the reflection spectrum monotonically increase with increasing value of N. With a further increase in N, there occurs a transition to a photonic-crystal regime where the half-width of the reflection spectrum is saturated, which manifests itself in the form of an optical stop band. The theoretical description is illustrated by experimental spectra measured for all three resonant Bragg systems.

QUANTUM THEORY OF PHOTOLUMINESCENCE FOR COHERENTLY EXCITED SEMICONDUCTOR QUANTUM-WELL SYSTEMS

M. Kira, F. Jahnke, Stephan W. Koch

Photoluminescence of semiconductor quantum wells is studied using a fully quantized theory for the light-matter interaction. Quantum fluctuations of the light field lead to direct coupling between a coherent excitation and luminescence in other directions. Numerical results for the time evolution of the luminescence spectrum and emission intensity dynamics after a femtosecond pulse excitation are presented.

Modeling of resonance fluorescence excitation spectra of two different two-level interacting nanoparticles

V. A. Morozov

Numerical simulations of the excitation spectra of resonant fluorescence bound by the dynamic interaction of two different two-level nanoparticles have been performed. We considered the excitation of one of the particles by monochromatic light with a frequency close to the transition frequency of this particle, at an irradiation intensity leading to a small population of its excited state. The formalism for the description of resonance fluorescence by the Heitler--Ma method was applied to a complete compound system of the marked particle pair and quantized emission field. The resulting expressions for the excitation spectrum reflect consideration of the absorption of the fluorescence photon without attributing it to the emission of any one particle. Expressions for the excitation spectra when taking into account such absorption of the fluorescence photon that allows us to attribute it to the radiation of one or another of the particles were obtained by solving a modified system of equations of the Heitler--Ma method, which reflects the addition of non-interfering amplitudes of the emission field states of each particle. It was found that the shape of the excitation spectra of the stationary resonance fluorescence of the particles in question is determined by the shape of the corresponding intensity spectra of the spontaneous fluorescence of these particles. Keywords: mathematical modeling, interacting two-level nanoparticles, resonant fluorescence, excitation spectrum.
