Probing quantum states of Rydberg electrons by half-cycle pulses
Recently performed experiments 1 have demonstrated that half-cycle pulses (HCPs), i.e. unimodular electromagnetic pulses, are a useful new spectroscopic tool which is particularly well suited for investigating the dynamics of weakly bound Rydberg electrons. Typically their pulse durations range from the subpicosecond to the nanosecond regime and these pulses have already been produced with elec...
متن کاملCorrelated photon emission from multiatom Rydberg dark States.
We consider three-level atoms driven by two resonant light fields in a ladder scheme where the upper level is a highly excited Rydberg state. We show that the dipole-dipole interactions between Rydberg excited atoms prevents the formation of single particle dark states and leads to strongly correlated photon pairs from atoms separated by distances large compared to the emission wavelength. For ...
متن کاملAlignment of D-state Rydberg molecules.
We report on the formation of ultralong-range Rydberg D-state molecules via photoassociation in an ultracold cloud of rubidium atoms. By applying a magnetic offset field on the order of 10 G and high resolution spectroscopy, we are able to resolve individual rovibrational molecular states. A full theory, using a Fermi pseudopotential approach including s- and p-wave scattering terms, reproduces...
متن کاملProbing nonadiabatic molecular alignment by spectral modulation.
We investigated molecular alignment wakes of femtosecond laser pulses. Evolution of nonadiabatic molecular alignment in nitrogen gas has been measured via its nonlinear interaction effects with a variably delayed probe pulse. The induced rotational wave packet was mapped as a function of the angular difference between polarization directions of femtosecond pump and probe pulses as well as their...
متن کاملTime-resolved stimulated emission depletion in two-photon excited states.
A new approach to time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy based on stimulated emission depletion (STED) of two-photon excited states is presented. Combined with time-resolved detection, STED can circumvent orientational averaging constraints and spontaneous emission selection rules inherent in all conventional techniques. Applications of STED to the study of molecular probe dynamics are present...
