The propagation of high-power femtosecond light pulses in lithium niobate crystals (LiNbO3) is investigated experimentally and theoretically in collinear pump-probe transmission experiments. It is found within a wide intensity range that a strong decrease ...
This study focuses on an interesting and important phenomenon that was employed in a new approach to laser isotope separation that has been recently proposed and developed in our laboratory for highly selective separation of carbon isotopes. This approach ...
Quantum dots (QDs) are nanoscopic semiconductor crystals. Electronic transitions inside QDs lead to photon emission with unique properties. Photons can for instance be emitted as triggered single photons or as pairs of correlated photons with different ene ...
Absorption and photoluminescence excitation (PLE) spectra were recorded for colloidal CdSe quantum dots of different sizes. No significant deviation between the PLE and the absorption spectra, provided appropriate corrections and sample treatment are made ...
Exclusive ρ+ρ- production in two-photon collisions involving a single highly-virtual photon is studied for the first time with data collected by the L3 experiment at LEP at centre-of-mass energies 89
We have observed marked oscillations in the time-resolved photoluminescence of a semiconductor microcavity under non-resonant excitation conditions. Hot excitons, created with an ultrashort light pulse, rapidly relax into polaritons in the cavity with a la ...
Spontaneous parametric processes pumped transversely with short pulses are studied under a unified framework, which proves that such processes can efficiently generate entangled photon pairs with time anticorrelation and frequency correlation. Improvements ...
We demonstrate that fluorescence of single molecules in the nanometric vicinity of a thin gold film can be effectively excited and detected through the film with an epi-illumination scanning confocal micro- scope. A full theoretical treatment of the fluore ...
The present work is devoted to the study of the dynamics of multi-photon processes in semiconductor heterostructures. A time-dependent description is important for understanding in detail the transient response of semiconductors excited by ultrashort optic ...
Exciton states in semiconductor nanostructures with disorder exhibit level repulsion, a concept known from random matrix theory. Its manifestations in time-resolved Rayleigh spectra and in the autocorrelation of optical nearfield spectra are explained, and ...
