We calculate the electron excitation in cubic silicon carbide (3C-SiC) caused by the intense femtosecond laser double pulses using time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT). We assume the electron distributions in the valence band (VB) and the conduction band (CB) based on three different approaches to determine the dependence of the plasma that is formed on the excitation by the first pulse. First, we consider the simple double pulse irradiation, which does not include the electron-electron collisions and relaxation. Second, we consider the partially thermalized electronic state, in which the electron temperatures and numbers in the VB and the CB are defined independently. This assumption corresponds to the plasma before the electron-hole collisions becomes dominant. The third approach uses the fully thermalized electron distribution, which corresponds to a timescale of hundreds fs. Our results indicate that the simple double pulse approach is the worst of the three, and show that the plasma formation changes the efficiency of the excitation by the second pulse. When the electron temperature decreases, the laser excitation efficiency increases as a result.

We describe the measurements to control the morphology and hence the characteristics of a picosecond laser produced chromium plasma plume upon double-pulse (DP) irradiation compared to its single-pulse (SP) counterpart. DP schemes are realized by emp
loying two geometries wherein the inter-pulse delay ($tau_p$) in the collinear geometry and the spatial separation ($Delta x$) are the control parameters for schemes DP$_1$ and DP$_2$ respectively. The aspect ratio (plume length/plume width) decreases upon increasing parameters such as pressure, delay between pulses and the energy of the second pulse in DP1 scheme. Interestingly, the expansion conditions of the plume which occurs at higher pressures for SP scheme could be recreated in DP1 scheme for a lower pressure $sim$ 10$^{-6}$ Torr. This could be potentially applied for immediate applications such as high harmonic generation and quality thin film production.
We report on room temperature THz detection by means of antenna-coupled field effect transistors fabricated by using epitaxial graphene grown on silicon carbide substrate. Two independent detection mechanisms are found: plasma wave assisted-detection
and thermoelectric effect, which is ascribed to the presence of junctions along the FET channel. The superposition of the calculated functional dependence of both the plasmonic and thermoelectric photovoltages on the gate bias qualitatively well reproduces the measured photovoltages. Additionally, the sign reversal of the measured photovoltage demonstrates the stronger contribution of the plasmonic detection compared to the thermoelectric mechanism. Although responsivity improvement is necessary, these results demonstrate that plasmonic detectors fabricated by epitaxial graphene on silicon carbide are potential candidates for fast large area imaging of macroscopic samples.
We analyze numerically and experimentally the effect of the input pulse chirp on the nonlinear energy deposition from $5 mu$J fs-pulses at $800$ nm to water. Numerical results are also shown for pulses at $400$ nm, where linear losses are minimized,
and for different focusing geometries. Input chirp is found to have a big impact on the deposited energy and on the plasma distribution around focus, thus providing a simple and effective mechanism to tune the electron density and energy deposition. We identify three relevant ways in which plasma features may be tuned.
We use classical electron ensembles and the aligned-electron approximation to examine the effect of laser pulse duration on the dynamics of strong-field double ionization. We cover the range of intensities $10^{14}-10^{16} W/cm^2$ for the laser wavel
ength 780 nm. The classical scenario suggests that the highest rate of recollision occurs early in the pulse and promotes double ionization production in few-cycle pulses. In addition, the purely classical ensemble calculation predicts an exponentially decreasing recollision rate with each subsequent half cycle. We confirm the exponential behavior by trajectory back-analysis.
Defects in silicon carbide have been explored as promising spin systems in quantum technologies. However, for practical quantum metrology and quantum communication, it is critical to achieve the on-demand shallow spin-defect generation. In this work,
we present the generation and characterization of shallow silicon vacancies in silicon carbide by using different implanted ions and annealing conditions. The conversion efficiency of silicon vacancy of helium ions is shown to be higher than that by carbon and hydrogen ions in a wide implanted fluence range. Furthermore, after optimizing annealing conditions, the conversion efficiency can be increased more than 2 times. Due to the high density of the generated ensemble defects, the sensitivity to sense a static magnetic field can be research as high as , which is about 15 times higher than previous results. By carefully optimizing implanted conditions, we further show that a single silicon vacancy array can be generated with about 80 % conversion efficiency, which reaches the highest conversion yield in solid state systems. The results pave the way for using on-demand generated shallow silicon vacancy for quantum information processing and quantum photonics.
