Optical bistability and lasing of crystals containing impurities in the case of an adiabatic electron–phonon interaction

A. P. Saǐko, V. S. Kuz’min

A theoretical study is made of the threshold conditions for the observation of optical bistability and stimulated emission of zero-phonon lines of crystals containing impurities. A reduction in the electron–photon interaction constant ensures that nonlinear absorption due to a purely electronic transition is attained in a lower saturating field and the lasing threshold rises exponentially as the reciprocal of the Debye–Waller factor. It is shown that there are critical temperatures for the appearance of these effects. Experimental studies of the threshold conditions for lasing and optical bistability make it possible to determine directly the Debye–Waller factor at different temperatures of a crystal.

Vibronic model of laser cooling with stimulated Raman adiabatic passage pumping for Yb^3+-ion-doped crystals

Andrei V. Ivanov, Yu. Rozhdestvensky, E. Yu. Perlin

A vibronic model of laser cooling for crystals doped with Yb3+ ions is proposed. The model involves the stimulated Raman adiabatic passage pumping through dipole-allowed 4f–5d transitions, electron transitions between Stark-split sublevels due to vibronic interaction, and anti-Stokes fluorescence from the excited ion state. Dynamics of the cooling process are described by the density matrix formalism. It is shown that the cooling power in the case of vibronic interaction is higher at least by a factor of 3.4 compared to the case of electron–phonon interaction. In the proposed model, an increase in the cooling power yields deeper and faster refrigeration of a crystal doped with Yb3+ ions. Estimations show that, on cooling by the stimulated Raman adiabatic passage pumping, the temperature of a crystal with an irradiated volume of 2.12×10−4 cm3 can reach 64 K in a time of 2 s. In the proposed model, the cooling temperature is 30 K lower and the cooling process is 100 times faster compared to the traditional model of direct pumping. The estimates are applicable to present-day materials of technologically attainable purity.

Electron-phonon interactions in correlated systems: Adiabatic expansion of the dynamical mean-field theory

Andreas Deppeler, Andrew J. Millis

We use the dynamical mean-field theory to develop a systematic and computationally tractable method for studying electron-phonon interactions in systems with arbitrary electronic correlations. The method is formulated as an adiabatic expansion around the limit of static phonons. No specific electronic ground state is assumed. We derive an effective low-frequency phonon action whose coefficients are static local correlation functions of the underlying electron system. We identify the correct expansion parameters. At a critical electron-phonon interaction strength the system undergoes a transition to a polaronic state. We determine the location of this polaronic instability in the presence of electron-electron interactions, doping, and quantum lattice fluctuations and present the formalism needed for study of the electron self-energy and effective mass.
