Time-dependent photoionization of azulene: Optically induced anisotropy on the femtosecond scale

Kevin Raffael, Valerie Blanchet, Béatrice Chatel +5

We measure the photoionization cross-section of vibrationally excited levels in the S2 state of azulene by femtosecond pump-probe spectroscopy. At the wavelengths studied (349-265…

Time-dependent photoionization of azulene: Competition between ionization and relaxation in highly excited states

Valerie Blanchet, Kevin Raffael, Giorgio Turri +5

Pump-probe photoionization has been used to map the relaxation processes taking place from highly vibrationally excited levels of the S2 state of azulene, populated directly or via…

Coherent Control of spin-orbit precession with shaped laser pulses

Béatrice Chatel, Damien Bigourd, Sébastien Weber +1

Spin precession in Rubidium atoms is investigated through a pump-probe technique. The excited wave packet corresponds to a precession of spin and orbital angular momentum around th…

Factorization of Numbers with the temporal Talbot effect: Optical implementation by a sequence of shaped ultrashort pulses

Damien Bigourd, Béatrice Chatel, Wolfgang P. Schleich +1

We report on the successful operation of an analogue computer designed to factor numbers. Our device relies solely on the interference of classical light and brings together the fi…

Chirping a two-photon transition in a multi-state ladder

Wolfgang Merkel, Holger Mack, Wolfgang P. Schleich +3

We consider a two-photon transition in a specific ladder system driven by a chirped laser pulse. In the weak field limit, we find that the excited state probability amplitude arise…

Real time Quantum state holography using coherent transients

Antoine Monmayrant, Béatrice Chatel, Bertrand Girard

In a two level atom, real-time quantum state holography is performed through interferences between quantum states created by a reference pulse and a chirped pulse resulting in cohe…
