Broadband visible two-dimensional spectroscopy of molecular dyes

Majed Chergui, Andre Al Haddad, Lars-Hendrik Mewes, Rebecca Ann Ingle

Two-dimensional Fourier transform spectroscopy is a promising technique to study ultrafast molecular dynamics. Similar to transient absorption spectroscopy, a more complete picture of the dynamics requires broadband laser pulses to observe transient change ...

Versatile shaping of optical frequency combs and applications

Jianqi Hu

Optical frequency combs are a series of phase-locked and equidistant laser lines in the spectral domain. In the time domain, they correspond to periodic pulse trains by the Fourier relation. The ability to shape optical combs and pulse trains is pivotal to ...

Optomechanical generation of a mechanical catlike state by phonon subtraction

Tobias Kippenberg, Liu Qiu, Itay Shomroni

We propose a scheme to prepare a macroscopic mechanical oscillator in a catlike state, close to a coherent state superposition. The mechanical oscillator, coupled by radiation-pressure interaction to a field in an optical cavity, is first prepared close to ...

Modes interplay controls the second harmonic generation dynamics of plasmonic nanostructures

Olivier Martin, Andrei Kiselev, Gabriel David Bernasconi

A large amount of experimental and theoretical works deals with the second harmonic generation from different plasmonic geometries. Since they often consider relatively long optical pulses, many of these studies are focused on the investigation of a quasi- ...

Ultrafast Intersystem Crossing and Structural Dynamics of [Pt(ppy)(mu-(t)Bu(2)pz)](2)

Majed Chergui, Lars-Hendrik Mewes, Rebecca Ann Ingle

Intersystem crossing (ISC) rates of transition-metal complexes are determined by the complex interplay of a molecule's electronic and structural dynamics. To broaden our understanding of these key factors, we investigate the case of the prototypical d(8)-d ...
