Single molecule lines arc sensitive to external perturbations such as electric fields or pressurc. The fluctuations of the fluorescence signal show characteristic times ranging from nanoseconds to minutes. They give information about the dynamics within the molecule (intersystem crossing, Rabi nutation) as well i ~ s in the surrounding matrix (spectral diffusion of the resonance frequency). Non-linear optical experiments have been performed on single molecules. First, single pentacene molecules in p-terphenyl crystals demonstrate paramagnetic resonance in their triplet states. This non-linear efrect appears when the molecule is subjected to resonant microwaves in addition to optical excitation. Microwave pulses were used to produce transient effects, and were synchronised with the molecule itself. We performed non-linear optical experiments of the pump-probe type on the narrow excitation lines of single terrylene molecules in a pterphenyl crystal. At low saturations, the pump beam was found to shift the optical transition of the molecule as expected : proportionally to the intensity and inverse pump detuning. The variations of the fluorescence signal (proportional to the excited state population of the molecule) were also studied with pump and probe closer to resonance. Because of triplet saturation, the signal variations are rather weak and high pump powers had to be used. Upon tuning the probe beam through the resonance, W-shaped structures were obtaiped, recalling Autler-Townes splittings. The shape of the structures is correctly reproduced by numerical simulations of the optical Bloch equations in two intense laser fields and indicates photon exchange between pump and probe beams. These results show the possibility of non-linear and quantum optical experiments on single molecules in condensed matter, even though thc shifts observed are much weaker than disorder-induced inhomogeneous broadening.

Variational approaches have been applied successfully to the problem of temporal dispersion andlor spatial diffraction in nonlinear propagation which is described by a nonlinear Schrodinger equation[2]. These approaches am usually limited to conservative optical systems, due to mathematical difficulties that the dissipation term brings about. The purpose of this study is lo apply a variational technique to investigate dissipative nonlinear propagation. By means of the generalization of the Kantorovich method, suitable for non-conservative systems, we are able to deal with the problem of soliton propagation under the influence of TPA. Based on the characteristics of the exact solution in the absence of TPA. and supposing an adiabatic process we propose a family of soliton solutions as trial functions. This procedure results in analytical expressions that illustrate the changes during propagation of the soliton’s parameters such as amplitude, width and phase. The rate at which energy is dissipated is also obtained and, as expected, from a TPA process. is proportional to 1’. Comparison of the behavior predicted by our approximate solutions with numerical results available in the literature show very good agreement[3]. The dissipative variational approach can be extended to deal with more dimensions in the NLSE and to different kinds of dissipative nonlinearities as €?+-doped fiber amplifiers. In conclusion, a variational approach for non-conservative propagation has been used to provide a suggestive description for soliton propagation under TPA effect. As the problem of non-conservative propagation is shared by many areas of physics other than light pulse propagation, we emphasize that the present approach may be useful for a quite wide range of areas and different kinds of dissipative terms.","PeriodicalId":11780,"journal":{"name":"EQEC'96. 1996 European Quantum Electronic Conference","volume":"20 1","pages":"241-241"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1996-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74994026","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
