Organic molecules pumped to resonance

Abstract An array of radiatively coupled emitters is an exciting new platform for generating, storing, and manipulating quantum light. However, the simultaneous positioning and tuning of multiple lifetime-limited emitters into resonance remains a significant challenge. Here we report the creation of superradiant and subradiant entangled states in pairs of lifetime-limited and sub-wavelength spaced organic molecules by permanently shifting them into resonance with laser-induced tuning. The molecules are embedded as defects in an organic nanocrystal. The pump light redistributes charges in the nanocrystal and dramatically increases the likelihood of resonant molecules. The frequency spectra, lifetimes, and second-order correlation agree with a simple quantum model. This scalable tuning approach with organic molecules provides a pathway for observing collective quantum phenomena in sub-wavelength arrays of quantum emitters.

The problem about two-photon induced fluorescence of organic dye active molecules located in spherical transparent microparticles at the ultrashort laser pulses influence was theoretically investigated. The system of kinetic equations for laser generation was written taking into account stimulation transitions. Generation regimes of stimulated radiation were found. Resonator properties of spherical microparticles were theoretically investigated using the method of expanding optical fields into series of eigenfunctions. The breakdown of the beginning of stimulated radiation in the microparticle was determined. It was shown that stimulated radiation intensity depends on degree of its spatial overlap with all other modes of the pump radiation. The interpretation of experimental data of two-photon induced fluorescence in the particles with organic dye was carried out.
