In this presentation, we discuss the potential for approaching these limits by experiments in the frequency domain in which microwave electro-optic (EO) intensity modulation and phase-resolved EO demodulation are used to measure the phase shift and depth of modulation of optical emission and scattering. The use of EO phase-sensitive detection greatly expands the utility of fluorometric measurements since a) increased modulation frequencies, related to the frequency of EO modulation rather then the frequency response of the photo detector can be used; b) the frequency range is further extended since harmonics of the applied voltage appear in the modulated light; c) sensitive optical multichannel detection is used and d) purely electronic noise is absent. The experimental method of EO phase-sensitive detection will be discussed as well as two novel measurements which can be made with this apparatus: the measurement of ultrafast dephasing and the separation of Raman scattering from fluorescence.","PeriodicalId":371790,"journal":{"name":"Topical Meeting on Ultrafast Phenomena","volume":"71 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1985-02-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126558745","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}

The development of high intensity ultrashort pulse laser sources has made possible the extension of these studies into the picosecond time regime [2,3]. For intense pulses of short enough duration, it has been postulated that a transient nonequilibrium between the electrons and phonons may be generated [4]. This phenomenon has been termed anomalous heating and is predicted when the laser pulse durations are comparable to or shorter than the electron-phonon energy relaxation time. Because of the smaller heat capacity of the electron gas, heating of the electrons to temperatures in excess of the lattice melting temperature would then be possible. Previous experimental investigations of photoelectron emission have been performed with picosecond pulses in attempts to observe anomalous heating [2,3]. To date, none have achieved the temporal resolution necessary for such an observation. However, very recently, indirect eveidence of transient heating has been reported using picosecond reflectivity measurements in copper [5].","PeriodicalId":371790,"journal":{"name":"Topical Meeting on Ultrafast Phenomena","volume":"144 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1984-11-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124623814","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}

This phenomenon, which arises from the inverse electro-optic effect3, produces a Cerenkov cone of pulsed radiation having a duration of approximately one cycle and a frequency in the THz range. Although closely resembling the classical Cerenkov radiation from relativistic charged particles in dielectric media, the physical basis for this effect has some unique distinguishing features. Most important, it is a nonlinear optical effect, arising from a second order nonlinear polarization, and consequently requires a lack of inversion symmetry in the host material. Also, the charge state of the effective source is neutral, being a dipole moment, rather than a point charge. The velocity of the source, however, does move at a velocity which exceeds the radiation velocity due to the additional contribution to the low frequency dielectric permittivity from the infrared lattice vibrations. This is expected to produce a characteristic cone of radiation in the form of a shock wave. Unlike classical Cerenkov radiation, however, the radiation source is spatially extended, being proportional to the intensity envelope of the optical pulse. Consequently the details of the radiation field are expected to depend sensitively on both the duration and beam waist of the optical pulse. A discussion of these effects, based on an analysis of this phenomenon, is given in references 1 and 2.","PeriodicalId":371790,"journal":{"name":"Topical Meeting on Ultrafast Phenomena","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1984-10-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132781292","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}

The mechanisms responsible in such critical phenomena are still not fully understood. Previous experimental information has left unmeasured such important parameters as the minimum number of nuclei and their common critical radius for a transformation to occur as well as the interphase velocity. Several probe techniques have now been developed to time-resolve phase transformations in semiconductors during laser annealing. However, most of these probes (eg. electrical conductivity,1,2 optical reflection,3,4 optical transmission,5 Raman scattering,6 and time of flight mass spectrometry7) supply no direct information about the atomic structure of the material. Probing the structure can reveal when and to what degree a system melts as it is defined by degradation in the long range order of the lattice. True structural probes based on x-ray8 and low energy electron9 diffraction and EXAFS10 with nanosecond time resolution have been developed offering fresh insight into both the bulk and surface dynamics of material structure. Also, a subpicosecond probe based on structural dependent second harmonic generation11 has been demonstrated. But at present, only the technique of picosecond electron diffraction12 can produce an unambiguous picture of the structure on the picosecond timescale. In this letter we report on the results of using this probe to directly observe the laser-induced melting of aluminum.","PeriodicalId":371790,"journal":{"name":"Topical Meeting on Ultrafast Phenomena","volume":"202 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1984-06-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115293074","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}
