A collaborative theoretical and experimental study of the structure and electronic excitation spectrum of the Bar and Bar2 complexes
We report the investigation of the 3s2p transition in the Bar2 cluster. In a supersonic expansion of B atoms entrained in Ar, at high beam source backing pressures we observe several features in the f...

A state-multipole expansion of the zero-order density operator has been used to derive analytical signal expressions for near-resonant degenerate four-wave mixing spectroscopy performed on systems that possess angular momentum anisotropy. The predictions of this formalism are found to be in good agreement with experimental optical–optical double resonance measurements involving aligned intermediate states. ©1997 American Institute of Physics.

  21. For studies performed in nonstationary media, P<sub>s</sub><sup>(3)</sup> must be averaged over the normalized distribution of target velocities, f(v). The moving molecules will experience velocity-dependent offsets in the frequencies of impinging electromagnetic waves (i.e., omegad = omega−kd·v, thereby resulting in a preferential sensitivity for individual velocity groups which manifests itself as a sub-Doppler spectral response.

  23. These susceptibility terms differ from the more conventional equilibrium expressions since the DFWM interaction begins with a zero-order density operator of the form |g>gammagg[double-prime](etagJg)<g[double-prime]| thereby taking into account the possibility of both nonuniform magnetic sublevel populations [gammagg(etagJg)[not-equal]gammag[double-prime]g[double-prime](etagJg)] and Zeeman coherences [gammagg[double-prime](etagJg)[not-equal]0;]. For a thermalized (i. e., incoherent and isotropic) ensemble of target molecules, it is more appropriate to set gammagg[double-prime](etagJg) = deltagg[double-prime]/(2Jg+1).

  27. Although it is often assumed that Palpha = 1, the summation over magnetic sublevels alone does not represent a complete resolution of the identity operator. For example, operators such as µ will couple angular momentum states that are not explicitly included in the two-level model.

  31. The double summations over K and Q have been collapsed by exploiting the relationship: tr[T<sub>Q</sub><sup>(K)</sup>(etagJg)A<sub>Q[sup [prime]]</sub><sup>(K[sup [prime]])</sup>] = (−1)Q(2K+1)−1/2deltaK[prime],KdeltaQ[prime],−Q<etagJg||A(K)||etagJg>, where A<sub>Q[sup [prime]]</sub><sup>(K[sup [prime]])</sup> is any irreducible spherical tensor operator having matrix elements in the |alpha< = |etaalphaJalphaMalpha> basis. While the summations involving k1 and k2 are still performed over the range 0–2, the index K is now constrained to be less than or equal to the minimum value of either 2Jg or 4.

  36. This optical pumping expression excludes both saturation and relaxation processes and assumes rho(etagJg)[proportional]( epsilon ·µ)rho(etaiJi)( epsilon *·µ) where the initial state density operator, rho(etaiJi), corresponds to that of a thermalized system.
