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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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) ...
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 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 ...
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 ...
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.
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 ...
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 ...
