Coherent interactions of a mode-locked pulse train with a two-photon Lambda structure

Abstract

Coherent four photon interaction between a mode locked pulse train and rubidium is investigated. The result of that interaction can be used as a calibration for the frequency comb of a stabilized mode-locked laser.

Theory for direct frequency-comb spectroscopy

D. Felinto, Carlos E. E. López

Direct frequency-comb spectroscopy is a technique that employs a train of well-stabilized ultrashort pulses to study the spectral properties of atomic or molecular systems. In this way, it opens the possibility of incorporating various coherent-control techniques for such spectral investigations. Here we introduce a theory for the interaction of a multilevel atom with such pulse trains, which is general enough to take into account an arbitrarily shaped frequency comb. We illustrate its application by studying the interaction of $^{87}\text{R}\text{b}$ atoms with trains of pulses of various shapes, resonant with the $5S\text{\ensuremath{-}}5D$ two-photon transition of rubidium. More specifically, we treat the interaction with hyperbolic-secant pulses, chirped pulses, and 0-$\ensuremath{\pi}$ pulses, respectively. The theory is designed to work at an arbitrary perturbation order. For the results presented here, we mostly used a 12th-order perturbation series at the pulse's electric field. Due to the large number of levels involved, such modeling may be quite complex computationally, and an important point of the present work is then to introduce the required numerical approach to treat this problem efficiently.

Beat note stabilization of mode-locked lasers for quantum information processing

Rajibul Islam, Wesley C. Campbell, Taeyoung Choi +19 more

We stabilize a chosen radio frequency beat note between two optical fields derived from the same mode-locked laser pulse train in order to coherently manipulate quantum information. This scheme does not require access or active stabilization of the laser repetition rate. We implement and characterize this external lock, in the context of two-photon stimulated Raman transitions between the hyperfine ground states of trapped 171Yb(+) quantum bits.
