INFLUENCE OF A VIRTUAL PHOTON FIELD ON THE STATISTIC PROPERTIES OF PHOTONS IN A SYSTEM OF TWO-MODE SQUEEZED VACCUM FIELD INTERACTING WITH ATOMS

HUANG CHUN-JIA, Jiangfan Li, Ming Tao Zhou +2 more

The statistic properties of photons in a system of two-mode squeezed vacuum field interacting with a two-level atom are studied without the rotating-wave approximation by means of quantum theory, and the influence of the virtual-photon process on the statistic properties of photons is discussed emphatically. The results obtained using a numerical method indicate that the influence of the virtual-photon process on the statistic properties of photons qives rise to quantum chaos, that is related to the initial state parameters of the system.

Dynamics of multiphoton processes in nonlinear optics and x-ray spectroscopy

Ji‐Cai Liu

New generations of ultrashort and intense laser pulses as well ashigh power synchrotron radiation sources and x-ray free electronlasers have promoted fast developments in nonlinear optics andx-ray spectroscopy.The new experimental achievements and the appearance of varieties of novelnonlinear phenomena call for further development of theories. The objective of this thesis is to develop and apply thetheories to explain existing experimental data and to suggest new experiments. The first part of the thesis is devoted to nonlinear propagation of optical pulses. It is shown that the vibrational levels can be selectively populated by varying the duration, shape and intensity of the pump pulse. We obtained a strict analytical solution for the resonant two-photon interaction in a multilevel system beyond rotating wave approximation. Simulations show that the polarization anisotropy of the two-photon excitation affects strongly the anisotropy of photobleaching.The two-photon area theorem is reformulated with taking into account the dynamical Stark shift and the contribution from the permanent dipole moments. In general the dynamical Stark shift does not allow complete population of the excited state, but it can be compensated by detunings in atoms. A dynamical theory of the sequential two-photon absorption of microsecond pulses is developed to explore the role of transverse inhomogeneity of the light beam on optical limiting properties. The propagation of ultrashort laser pulses in nondipolar and dipolar media is investigated with special attention to the generation of superfluorescence and supercontinuum and the formation of attosecond pulses. The second part of the thesis addresses the interaction of molecules with x-ray radiation. We explore here the role of nuclear dynamics in resonant Auger scattering. Multimode simulations of the Auger spectra of ethylene molecule explain the main spectral features of the experimental spectra and show that the spectral profiles are formed mainly due to six vibrational modes. We predict the Doppler splitting of the atomic peak in resonant Auger scattering from SF6 molecule for circularly polarized x-rays. This effect is confirmed by the recent experiment. A new scheme of x-ray pump-probe spectroscopy, namely, resonant inelastic x-ray scattering accompanied by core-hole hopping induced by strong laser fields is suggested. The laser-induced promotion of core holes opens the symmetry forbidden scattering channels and gives rise to new spectral lines in the x-ray scattering spectrum. The strength of the symmetry forbidden lines becomes strong when the time of Rabi flopping is shorter than the lifetime of the core-excited state. We study the role of propagation of femtosecond x-ray free-electron pulses on the Auger process. Simulations show that there exists a strong competition between Auger decay and stimulated emission. The Auger yield and Auger branching ratio are strongly suppressed in the course of pulse propagation.

Quantum dynamics of a f-deformed cavity-field beyond the rotating wave approximation

Mohsen Daeimohammad

The aim of this study is to investigate dynamical properties of a two-mode f-deformed cavity- field ‎coupled to an effective two-level atom with and without the rotating wave approximation. The first ‎section discusses the theoretical model of the interaction between a two-mode cavity-field and an ‎effective two-level atom within the framework of an f-DJCM without the rotating wave ‎approximation. After that, we obtain the reduced density matrix of the cavity-field with and without ‎the rotating-wave approximation. Then, we have investigated the effect of the counter-rotating ‎terms on temporal evolution of various non-classical properties of the cavity-field, i.e., photon-‎counting statistics, the cross correlation between the modes of the field, and the quantum ‎fluctuations of the quadrature components. Particularly, we compare the numerical result for three ‎different values of the deformation parameter q (q=1, q=1.1, q=0.9) with and without applying the rotating ‎wave approximation. By using of the numerical method, we concluded that even under the ‎condition in which the RWA is considered to be valid, there are the significant effects of virtual-‎photon field on the photon-counting statistics, the cross correlation between the modes of the ‎field, and the quantum fluctuations of the quadrature components‎.
