Echo behavior in ruby
(American Physical Society, 1968-01-08) -
Self-focusing of light by potassium vapor
(American Physical Society, 1970-04-20)Raman-shifted ruby-laser light on the high-frequency side of the 2P3/2 resonance line (7665 A) of potassium was self-focused by a dilute potassium gas. -
Behavior of electron-spin echoes and photon echoes in high fields
(American Physical Society, 1970-07-01)The amplitude of the electron-spin or photon echo from an ensemble of isolated atoms (echo atoms) interacting with magnetic-nuclear neighbors is calculated as a function of the magnitude and the orientation of an applied ... -
Self-defocusing of light by adiabatic following in rubidium vapor
(American Physical Society, 1972-10)The narrow-line output of a dye laser on the low-frequency side of the 2P1/2 resonance line (7948 A) of rubidium was self-defocused by passage through dilute rubidium vapor. The defocusing was caused by the electronic ... -
Adiabatic following and slow optical pulse propagation in rubidium vapor
(American Physical Society, 1973-06)Short pulses of narrow-line low-intensity dye-laser light nearly resonant with the Zeeman-split 2P1/2 esonance line (7948 A) of rubidium were observed to propagate through dilute rubidium vapor as slowly as (1/14)c. These ... -
Observation of self-steepening of optical pulses with possible shock formation
(American Physical Society, 1973-08-13)Near-resonant light pulses were steepened by passage through Rb vapor. The rise time changed from typically 4 nsec to less than 1 nsec, and complicated envelopes developed. The self-steepening, well described by adiabatic ... -
Optical pulse compression
(AIP Publishing, 1974-11-15)Dramatic and controllable reshaping of frequency-modulated dye laser pulses has been observed. The pulses, nearly resonant with the 2P1/2 line (7948 A) of Rb, first passed through a LiNbO3 frequency modulator, and then ... -
Theory of the dispersive modulator
(AIP Publishing, 1975-02-15)The recent observations by Loy of amplitude modulation and compression of infrared laser pulses caused by passage through the dispersive modulator (a cell containing dilute NH3 vapor with a Stark-modulated resonant frequency) ... -
Biological properties of a canine distemper virus isolate associated with demyelinating encephalomyelitis
(American Society for Microbiology, 1975-04)A canine distemper virus (CDV), designated R252, originally recovered from a dog with demyelinating encephalomyelitis was shown to reproduce this disease in gnotobiotic dogs with a high incidence as compared to other CDV ... -
Self-induced adiabatic rapid passage
(American Physical Society, 1975-09)We show that, by virtue of the linewidth reduction provided by counter-propagating beams, it is possible to use the optical Stark shift to sweep a two-photon resonance through the sum frequency of the applied light while ... -
Triethyl-n-hexylammonium triethyl-n-hexylboride: A new antimicrobial showing activity against Candida albicans and gram-positive bacteria
(American Society for Microbiology, 1975-10)The organic salt triethyl-n-hexylammonium triethyl-n-hexylboride (N2226 B2226) has biostatic effects against two gram-positive bacteria, Bacillus subtilis and Micrococcus luteus, and the yeast Candida albicans. Escherichia ... -
Adiabatic following model for two-photon transitions: Nonlinear mixing and pulse propagation
(American Physical Society, 1975-12)Two-photon resonantly enhanced parametric generation processes have generally been described using time-dependent perturbation theory. In this paper we show that a theory of two-photon coherent effects can be used to derive ... -
Purification and properties of two deoxyribonucleases of Pseudomonas aeruginosa
(American Society for Microbiology, 1976-08)A survey of the major deoxyribonucleases in Pseudomonas aeruginosa strain PAO was undertaken. Two activities predominated in Brij-58 lysates of this organism. These have been purified from contaminating nuclease activities, ... -
Coherent excitation, incoherent excitation, and adiabatic states
(American Physical Society, 1976-08)Coherent excitation of an atomic excited state occurs during the propagation of near-resonant light pulses and is responsible for the induced polarization. Simultaneously, incoherent excitation occurs due to the relaxation ... -
Comment on the relationship between an exact two-photon solution and a two-photon vector model
(American Physical Society, 1977-04)The exact pulse solution of Brewer and Hahn for optical two-photon transitions is shown to reduce in the adiabatic limit to the two-photon vector model used by Grischkowsky, Loy, and Liao. The connection between the two ... -
Prophage F116: Evidence for extrachromosomal location in Pseudomonas aeruginosa strain PAO
(American Society for Microbiology, 1977-06)F116 is a temperate-generalized transducing phage of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Genetic evidence leads to the conclusion that F116 prophage DNA is maintained extrachromosomally as a plasmid. Preliminary physical evidence is ... -
Light-controlled light modulator
(AIP Publishing, 1977-10-01)A fast resonantly enhanced light-controlled light modulator is demonstrated. Optical switching action is obtained with driving laser pulses with intensities as low as 2 kW/cm^2. The switching mechanism is the optical ... -
Characterization of Pseudomonas aeruginosa mutants deficient in the establishment of lysogeny
(American Society for Microbiology, 1978-06)Mutants of Pseudomonas aeruginosa with impaired ability to establish a lysogenic relationship with temperate bacteriophage (Les-) have been isolated. These les mutations map to two areas of the P. aeruginosa chromosomal ... -
Frequency of F116-mediated transduction of Pseudomonas aeruginosa in a freshwater environment
(American Society for Microbiology, 1978-11)Transduction of Pseudomonas aeruginosa streptomycin resistance by a generalized transducing phage, F116, was shown to occur during a 10-day incubation in a flow-through environmental test chamber suspended in a freshwater ... -
Doppler-tuned hyperfine spectroscopy of the lithium ion
(American Physical Society, 1978-11-20)We have used the Doppler-tuned ion-beam, laser-spectroscopy method to measure the hyperfine intervals in the 2^3 S and 2^3 P^o states of Li+. Our resolution was 10 times that of the best previous measurement. In contrast ...
