Three-Pulse Photon Echo in a Dense Potassium Vapor

Abstract

Time-integrated three-pulse photon echo (3PE) and time-resolved 3PE measurements in dense potassium vapor reveal clear signatures of non-Markovian dynamics. We pursue a molecular dynamics simulation to study the many-body effects contributing to the response.

Three-Pulse Photon Echo Peak Shift Spectroscopy in a Dense Potassium Vapor

Virginia O. Lorenz, Steven T. Cundiff, Shaul Mukamel

The three-pulse photon echo technique has provided significant insight into ultrafast dynamics in a variety of condensed phase systems1. Clear signatures of non-Markovian dynamics in a dense potassium vapor2 provide the opportunity to gain further insight into the correlation function of frequency fluctuations both experimentally and theoretically. Here, experimental three-pulse photon echo peak shifts are compared to calculated peak shifts that include the long-range resonant interactions in a dense atomic vapor within an exciton formalism3. A slow exponential decay in the peak shifts is attributed to long-range resonant interactions.

Non-Markovian dynamics in a dense atomic vapor

Virginia O. Lorenz

Two- and three-pulse photon echo spectroscopy in a dense potassium vapor reveals a non-Markovian correlation function of frequency fluctuations. Through comparison with calculations using an exciton picture a slowly-decaying component of the correlation function is attributed to long-range resonant interactions. A time-resolved photon echo experiment shows the photon-echo-like behavior at short timescales.

Three-pulse photon echo peak shift measurements in dense potassium vapor

Virginia O. Lorenz, Steven T. Cundiff

Three-pulse photon echo peak shift measurements in dense potassium vapor reveal an exponential peak shift, justifying an exponential two-time correlation function of frequency fluctuations, which is commonly assumed for more complex condensed phase systems.

Non-Markovian Dynamics in a Dense Potassium Vapor

Virginia O. Lorenz, Steven T. Cundiff

Transient four-wave mixing experiments on a dense potassium vapor, which has a dephasing time long compared to the collision duration, reveal distinct signatures of non-Markovian dynamics. Theoretical fits assuming stochastic fluctuation of the excited-state frequencies confirm that the two-time correlation function has a finite temporal width.

Non-Markovian dynamics in a dense potassium vapor

Using transient four-wave mixing, we have observed the relaxation dynamics of a dense potassium vapor whose dephasing time is large compared to the collision duration, revealing a clear transition from non-Markovian to Markovian dynamics.
