Periodic super-radiance in Er:YSO crystal

Hideaki Hara, Junseok Han, Yasutaka Imai +5

We observed periodic optical pulses from an Er:YSO crystal during irradiating with an continuous-wave excitation laser. We refer to this new phenomenon as "periodic super-radiance"…

X-ray pumping of the Th-229 nuclear clock isomer

Takahiko Masuda, Akihiro Yoshimi, Akira Fujieda +27

Thorium-229 is a unique case in nuclear physics: it presents a metastable first excited state Th-229m, just a few electronvolts above the nuclear ground state. This so-called isome…

Geometry-dependent spectra and coherent-transient measurement of nearly degenerate four-wave mixing using two-photon resonance

Hideaki Hara, Yuki Miyamoto, Takahiro Hiraki +7

We study nearly degenerate four-wave mixing using a two-photon-allowed vibrational transition of parahydrogen. A signal photon is generated by a trigger photon and coherence among…

Coherent two-photon emission from hydrogen molecules excited by counter-propagating laser pulses

Takahiro Hiraki, Hideaki Hara, Yuki Miyamoto +7

We observed two-photon emission signals from the first vibrationally excited state of parahydrogen gas excited coherently by counter-propagating laser pulses. A single narrow-linew…
