Pump-Probe Spectroscopy Chelsey Dorow Physics 211a

 Atomic motion during chemical reactions.  Molecular vibrations.  Photon absorption and emission.  Many scattering phenomena.  Other processes that occur on fast time scales (up to ~ s). Pump-probe is a time resolved measurement, useful for studying dynamics of fast processes:

 Pump beam: excites sample from equilibrium.  Probe beam: measures decay back to equilibrium.

 Pump excites electrons from E 1 to E 2.  Probe sees fewer electrons in E 1 that can be excited, less absorption. Relative absorption of probe pulse Pump pulse applied at t=0 Less absorption after pump pulse

 Active medium is excited with pumping energy.  Light is emitted via spontaneous and stimulated emission.  Some modes are reinforced as standing waves.  Reinforced modes are at random phases. Ultrafast lasers λ=2L/n Reinforced modes:

Mode-locking: Random phases In phase

 Must couple modes to each other.  Couple modes by modulating parameters of optical resonator with f=Ω (frequency spacing of the modes). How to achieve mode-locking: ω o ±nΩ λ=2L/n Resonant modes:

Nalitov, A. V., et al. "Nonlinear optical probe of indirect excitons." Physical Review B (2014): Andreakou, P., et al. "Nonlinear optical spectroscopy of indirect excitons in biased coupled quantum wells." arXiv preprint arXiv: (2014). Goal: Measure IXs with pump- probe spectroscopy despite low oscillator strength. Measure IXs indirectly by studying the IX effect on the DX signal. Reflectivity of DXs IX affects DX reflectivity in 3 ways:

Reflectivity and Kerr Rotation of DX Can fit to theoretical calculations to determine which interactions between IX and DX are most prevalent.
