Vibrational coherent control of localized d-d electronic excitation
Alexandre Marciniak, Stefano Marcantoni, Francesca Giusti +10
Addressing the role of quantum coherence in the interplay between the different matter constituents (electrons, phonons and spin) is a critical step towards understanding transitio…
Post-compression of picosecond pulses into the few-cycle regime
Prannay Balla, Ammar Bin Wahid, Ivan Sytcevich +18
In this work, we demonstrate post-compression of 1.2 picosecond laser pulses to 13 fs via gas-based multi-pass spectral broadening. Our results yield a single-stage compression fac…
Parametric amplification of optical phonons
Andrea Cartella, Tobia Federico Nova, Michael Fechner +2
Amplification of light through stimulated emission or nonlinear optical interactions has had a transformative impact on modern science and technology. The amplification of other bo…
An effective magnetic field from optically driven phonons
T. F. Nova, A. Cartella, A. Cantaluppi +6
Light fields at THz and mid-infrared frequencies allow for the direct excitation of collective modes in condensed matter, which can be driven to large amplitudes. For example, exci…
