Influence of Interface Thermal Resistance on Relaxation Dynamics of Metal-Dielectric Nanocomposite Materials under Ultrafast Pulse Laser Excitation
Nanocomposite materials, including noble metal nanoparticles embedded in a dielectric host medium, are interesting because of their optical properties linked to surface plasmon resonance phenomena. For studding of nonlinear optical properties and/or energy transfer process, these materials may be excited by ultrashort pulse laser with a temporal width varying from some femtoseconds to some hund...
متن کاملUltrafast exciton transfers in DNA and its nonlinear optical spectroscopy.
We have calculated the nonlinear response function of a DNA duplex helix including the contributions from the exciton population and coherence transfers by developing an appropriate exciton theory as well as by utilizing a projector operator technique. As a representative example of DNA double helices, the B-form (dA)10-(dT)10 is considered in detail. The Green functions of the exciton populati...
متن کاملTime-resolved luminescence spectroscopy by the optical Kerr-gate method applicable to ultrafast relaxation processes
We have developed a femtosecond time-resolved luminescence spectroscopy by the optical Kerr-gate ~OKG! method to investigate ultrafast carrier dynamics and relaxation processes of materials. Solid glasses with a high nonlinear refractive index were used as the Kerr media to obtain a subpicosecond time resolution. When a quartz plate was used as the Kerr medium, the Kerr efficiency and the instr...
متن کاملNonlinear optical spectroscopy of chiral molecules.
We review nonlinear optical processes that are specific to chiral molecules in solution and on surfaces. In contrast to conventional natural optical activity phenomena, which depend linearly on the electric field strength of the optical field, we discuss how optical processes that are nonlinear (quadratic, cubic, and quartic) functions of the electromagnetic field strength may probe optically a...
متن کاملFocus on multidimensional optical spectroscopy and imaging
Optical spectroscopy using ultrafast light pulses has undergone a revolution in the last decade due to the introduction and development of multidimensional coherent techniques. These methods build on established coherent spectroscopic techniques, such as photon echoes, but go beyond them by correlating the coherent dynamics during two time periods. The resulting multidimensional spectra have a ...
