Effects of coherent population trapping in vibrational levels on group velocity and Raman scattering

Abstract

We study Raman scattering in molecular media by applying two laser fields in a two-photon resonance with vibrational transition. The role of rotational levels has been investigated. It is shown that the molecular vibrational coherence strongly depends on the effect of coherent population trapping for rotational levels. The obtained results are important for application of Raman spectroscopy to molecular detection for engineering, chemical, and biological applications.

Chirped pulse propagation influenced by coherent population trapping in molecular media

Yuri V. Rostovtsev, Colin Roy, Pooja Nadkarni Singh +1 more

We study the excitation of the quantum coherence in a $\Lambda$-type molecular media and its influence on chirped pulse propagation. The coherent population trapping (CPT) of the ground states in the $\Lambda$-system results in fascinating new dynamics of pulse propagation through it. We have considered the two- and three-level molecules. The dressed state basis approach is employed, which provides deep physical insights showing interaction of “bright” and “dark” states with radiation. The level structure of the model is common for the molecular media, where the ground states maybe the ro-vibrational levels of the ground electronic state. We consider a gas of three-level atoms or molecules in the presence of two coherent optical pulses. We demonstrate the importance of role of the dark states. The presented results are important for applications to manipulation of quantum states for molecular detection in engineering, chemical, and biological applications.

Two-Photon Infrared Resonance Can Enhance Coherent Raman Scattering

Andrew J. Traverso, Brett H. Hokr, Zhenhuan Yi +4 more

In this Letter we present a new technique for attaining efficient low-background coherent Raman scattering where the Raman coherence is mediated by a tunable infrared laser in two-photon resonance with a chosen vibrational transition. In addition to the traditional benefits of conventional coherent Raman schemes, this approach offers a number of advantages including potentially higher emission intensity, reduction of nonresonant four-wave mixing background, preferential excitation of the anti-Stokes field, and simplified phase matching conditions. In particular, this is demonstrated in gaseous methane along the ν_{1} (A_{1}) and ν_{3} (T_{2}) vibrational levels using an infrared field tuned between 1400 and 1600 cm^{-1} and a 532-nm pump field. This approach has broad applications, from coherent light generation to spectroscopic remote sensing and chemically specific imaging in microscopy.

Quantum Coherent Control and Propagation in Lambda System

Pooja Nadkarni Singh

Strong coherence in quasi-resonant laser driven system interferes with effective relaxations, resulting in behaviors like, coherent population trapping and Electromagnetically induced transparency. The Raman system can optimize this utilizing excited coherence in the lambda system when exposed to counter- intuitive pump-stokes pulses. The phenomenon can result in complete population transfer between vibrational levels called Stimulated Raman adiabatic passage(STIRAP). STIRAP and CHIRAP have been studied with Gaussian and chirped pulses. The optical propagation effects in dense medium for these phenomenon is studied to calculate the limitations and induced coherences. Further, the effect of rotational levels has been investigated. The molecular vibrational coherence strongly depends on the effect of rotational levels. The change in coherence interaction for ro-vibrational levels are reported and explained. We have considered the effects on the phase of radiation related to rotational mechanical motion of quantum system by taking advantages in ultra strong dispersion medium provided by quantum coherence in lambda system. The enhanced Fizeau effect on a single atom is observed.

Vibrational Raman scattering from coherently excited molecular ions in a strong laser field

Bo Xu, Jinping Yao, Yuexin Wan +5 more

We report on a pump-probe investigation of vibrational Raman scattering from coherently excited N2+ ions. It is found that the Raman signals produced by the inelastic scattering of the probe pulse from molecular ions can be dramatically enhanced when the probe laser is resonant with electronic transitions in N2+ ions. The Raman signal can be amplified at 428 nm wavelength due to the presence of population inversion in N2+ ions.
