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 ... -
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 ...
