We analyze theoretically and experimentally how nonlinear differential-transmission spectroscopy of a lambda-system medium can provide quantitative understanding of the optical dipole moments and transition energies. We focus on the situation where two optical fields spatially overlap and co-propagate to a single detector. Nonlinear interactions give cross-modulation between a modulated and non-modulated laser field, yielding differential transmission signals. Our analysis shows how this approach can be used to enhance the visibility of relatively weak transitions, and how particular choices in the experimental design minimize systematic errors and the sensitivity to changes in laser field intensities. Experimentally, we demonstrate the relevance of our analysis with spectroscopy on the donor-bound exciton system of silicon donors in GaAs, where the transitions from the two bound-electron spin states to a bound-exciton state form a lambda system. Our approach is, however, of generic value for many spectroscopy experiments on solid-state systems in small cryogenic measurement volumes where in-situ frequency or polarization filtering of control and signal fields is often challenging.

We examine statistical properties of a laser beam propagating in a turbulent medium. We prove that the intensity fluctuations at large propagation distances possess Gaussian probability density function and establish quantitative criteria for realizi
ng the Gaussian statistics depending on the laser propagation distance, the laser beam waist, the laser frequency and the turbulence strength. We calculate explicitly the laser envelope pair correlation function and corrections to its higher order correlation functions breaking Gaussianity. We discuss also statistical properties of the brightest spots in the speckle pattern.
We investigate the ultrafast electron dynamics triggered by terahertz and optical pulses in thin platinum and gold films by probing their transient optical reflectivity. The response of the platinum film to an intense terahertz pulse is similar to th
e optically-induced dynamics of both films and can be described by a two-temperature model. Surprisingly, gold can exhibit a much smaller terahertz pulse-induced reflectivity change and with opposite sign. For platinum, we estimate a 20% larger electron-phonon coupling for the terahertz-driven dynamics compared to the optically-induced one, which we ascribe to an additional nonthermal electron-phonon coupling contribution. We explain the remarkable response of gold to terahertz radiation with the field emission of electrons due the Fowler-Nordheim tunneling process, in samples with thickness below the structural percolation threshold where near-field enhancement is possible. Our results provide a fundamental insight into the ultrafast processes relevant to modern electro- and magneto-optical applications.
When magnetic properties are analysed in a TEM using the technique of electron magnetic circular dichroism (EMCD), one of the critical parameters is the sample orientation, and this, independently on the chosen acquisition geometry. Since small orien
tation changes can have a strong impact on the EMCD measurement, it is experimentally non trivial to measure the EMCD signal as a function of sample orientation. The classical EMCD experimental setup requires to tilt the crystal in a 2 beam orientation and to acquire two electron energy loss spectra at two conjugate scattering angles. The effect of a mistilt from the perfect 2-beam orientation on the measured EMCD signals has not been explored yet due to different experimental constraints. In order to maintain the exact sample location and orientation for the acquisition of the EMCD signal, we have developed a methodology to simultaneously map the quantitative EMCD signals and the local orientation of the crystal. We analyse, both experimentally and with simulations, how the measured magnetic signals evolve with a change in the crystal tilt from the exact 2-beam orientation. Based on this analysis, we establish an accurate relationship between the crystal orientations and the EMCD signals. Our results demonstrate that a small crystal tilt away from the 2-beam orientation can significantly alter the strength and the distribution of the EMCD signals. From an optimisation of the crystal orientation, we obtain quantitative EMCD measurements.
The method of Doppler - free comb - spectroscopy for dipole transitions was proposed. The calculations for susceptibility spectrum for moving two-level atoms driving by strong counter propagating combs have been done. The used theoretical method base
d on the Fourier expansion of the components of density matrix on two rows on kv (v-velocity of group of atoms, k-projection of wave vector) and {Omega} (frequency between comb components). For testing of validity of this method the direct numerical integration was done. The narrow peaks with homogeneous width arise on the background of Doppler counter. The contrast of these peaks is large for largest amplitudes of comb-components. Power broadening is increasing with increase of field amplitudes. The spectral range of absorption spectrum is determined by the spectral range of comb generator and all homogeneous lines arise simultaneously. The spectral resolution is determined by the width of homogeneously-broadening lines. The physical nature of narrow peaks is in the existence of multi-photon transitions between manifolds of quasi-energy levels arising for different groups of atoms moving with velocities that satisfy to the resonant conditions 2kv= (n+l){Omega}, where n, l - are integers and {Omega} - frequency difference between comb teeth.
Propagation of light through a thin flat metallic screen containing a hole of twisted shape is sensitive to whether the incident wave is left or right circularly polarized. The transmitted light accrues a component with handedness opposite to the inc
ident wave. The efficiency of polarization conversion depends on the mutual direction of the holes twist and the incident lights wave polarization handedness and peaks at a wavelength close to the hole overall size. We also observed a strong transmitted field concentration at the center of the chiral hole when the handedness of the chiral hole and the waves polarization state are the same.
