X-ray quantum optics

BW Adams, C Buth, SM Cavaletto, J Evers… - Journal of modern …, 2013 - Taylor & Francis
Quantum optics with X-rays has long been a somewhat exotic activity, but it is now rapidly
becoming relevant as precision x-ray optics and novel X-ray light sources, and high-intensity …

Chirped fractional stimulated Raman adiabatic passage

J Chathanathil, A Ramaswamy, VS Malinovsky… - Physical Review A, 2023 - APS
In this work we develop a theory of fractional stimulated Raman adiabatic passage
(FSTIRAP) using frequency-chirped pulses (CFSTIRAP). We analyze the CFSTIRAP as a …

Atom-photon, atom-atom, and photon-photon entanglement preparation by fractional adiabatic passage

M Amniat-Talab, S Guérin, N Sangouard… - Physical Review A …, 2005 - APS
We propose a relatively robust scheme to generate maximally entangled states of (i) an
atom and a cavity photon,(ii) two atoms in their ground states, and (iii) two photons in two …

Spatially dependent Rabi oscillations: An approach to sub-diffraction-limited coherent anti-Stokes Raman-scattering microscopy

WP Beeker, CJ Lee, KJ Boller, P Groß, C Cleff… - Physical Review A …, 2010 - APS
We present a theoretical investigation of coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS) that
is modulated by periodically depleting the ground-state population through Rabi oscillations …

Femtosecond CARS of methanol–water mixtures

D Pestov, M Zhi, ZE Sariyanni… - Journal of Raman …, 2006 - Wiley Online Library
We utilize femtosecond time‐resolved coherent anti‐Stokes Raman spectroscopy (CARS) to
study the vibrational dynamics of methanol–water solutions. We measure the beat …

Coherent excitation of a two-level atom driven by a far-off-resonant classical field: Analytical solutions

PK Jha, YV Rostovtsev - Physical Review A—Atomic, Molecular, and Optical …, 2010 - APS
We present an analytical treatment of coherent excitation of a two-level atom driven by a far-
off-resonant classical field. A class of pulse envelope is obtained for which this problem is …

Population transfer via stimulated Raman adiabatic passage in a solid

H Goto, K Ichimura - Physical Review A—Atomic, Molecular, and Optical …, 2006 - APS
We report experimental demonstration of population transfer via stimulated Raman adiabatic
passage with a rare-earth-ion-doped crystal (Pr 3+: Y 2 Si O 5). About 90% of population of a …

Theory of femtosecond coherent anti-Stokes Raman backscattering enhanced by quantum coherence for standoff detection of bacterial spores

CHR Ooi, G Beadie, GW Kattawar, JF Reintjes… - Physical Review A …, 2005 - APS
Backscattered signal of coherent anti-Stokes Raman spectroscopy can be an extremely
useful tool for remote identification of airborne particles, provided the signal is sufficiently …

Stimulated Raman adiabatic passage as a route to achieving optical control in plasmonics

M Sukharev, SA Malinovskaya - Physical Review A—Atomic, Molecular, and …, 2012 - APS
Optical properties of ensembles of three-level quantum emitters coupled to plasmonic
systems are investigated employing a self-consistent model. It is shown that the stimulated …

A theoretical investigation of super‐resolution CARS imaging via coherent and incoherent saturation of transitions

WP Beeker, CJ Lee, KJ Boller, P Groß… - Journal of Raman …, 2011 - Wiley Online Library
Optical microscopy is at the heart of analysis in biology, used at scales ranging from
systemic to sub-cellular. Important recent developments are far-field sub-diffraction-limited …
