In this work, of rare-earth ions via the multi-photon absorption process is we theoretically propose a feasible scheme to enhance the resonance-mediated two-photon absorption in Er3+ ions by shaping the femtosecond laser field with a rectangle phase modulation. Our theoretical results show that the resonance-mediated two-photon absorption can be decomposed into the on-resonant and near-resonant parts, and the on-resonant part mainly comes from the contribution of laser central frequency components, while the near-resonant part mainly results from the excitation of low and high laser frequency components. So, the rectangle phase modulation can induce a constructive interference between the two parts by properly designing the modulation depth and width, and finally realizes the resonance-mediated two-photon absorption enhancement. More- over, our results also show that the enhancement efficiency of resonance-mediated two-photon absorption depends on the laser pulse width (or laser spectral bandwidth), final state transition frequency, and intermediate and final state absorption bandwidths. The enhancement efficiency modulation can be attributed to the relative weight manipulation of on-resonant and near-resonant two-photon absorption in the whole excitation process. This study presents a clear physical insight for the quantum control of resonance-mediated two-photon absorption in the rare-earth ions, and there will be an important significance for improving the up-conversion luminescence efficiency of rare-earth ions.展开更多

文摘An ultrafast electron diffraction technique with both high temporal and spatial resolution has been shown to be a powerful tool to observe the material transient structural change on an atomic scale.The space charge forces in a multi-electron bunch will greatly broaden the electron pulse width,and therefore limit the temporal resolution of the high brightness electron pulse.Here in this work,we design an ultrafast electron diffraction system,and utilize a radio frequency cavity to realize the ultrafast electron pulse compression.We experimentally demonstrate that the stretched electron pulse width of14.98 ps with an electron energy of 40 keV and the electron number of 1.0 ×10;can be maximally compressed to about0.61 ps for single-pulse measurement and 2.48 ps for multi-pulse measurement by using a 3.2-GHz radiofrequency cavity.We also theoretically and experimentally analyze the parameters influencing the electron pulse compression efficiency for single-and multi-pulse measurements by considering radiofrequency field time jitter,electron pulse time jitter and their relative time jitter.We suggest that increasing the electron energy or shortening the distance between the compression cavity and the streak cavity can further improve the electron pulse compression efficiency.These experimental and theoretical results are very helpful for designing the ultrafast electron diffraction experiment equipment and compressing the ultrafast electron pulse width in a future study.
文摘压缩超快成像(compressed ultrafast photography,CUP)是目前最快的被动式单次超快光学成像技术,它通过数据获取和图像重构两个步骤实现超快事件的捕捉,已发展为记录不可逆或难以重复超快事件的一种有力工具,且能够探测荧光动力学等自发光瞬态场景.然而,传统的迭代优化型算法在图像重构上的保真度较低,而端到端型深度学习算法则严重依赖训练数据,训练复杂度高、通用性不足,这限制了CUP对超快现象进行高空间分辨率的观测.为此,我们开发了一种新型的免训练自监督式神经网络算法,其通过即插即用框架(plug-and-play,PnP)与深度图像先验(deep image prior,DIP)的结合可实现CUP的低复杂度高保真图像重建,简称为PnP-DIP算法.PnP-DIP基于交替方向乘子法(alternating direction method of multipliers,ADMM),利用DIP和PnP去噪器解决图像恢复子问题,可以在防止数据过拟合和噪声累积的同时,显著提高图像重建的精度与收敛速度.通过数值模拟,我们理论上证明了PnP-DIP算法在重构原始动态信息方面相比传统ADMM算法具有更高的保真度.同时,我们分别利用PnPDIP对自主研制CUP系统观测的皮秒激光脉冲和X射线闪烁体的时空强度演化数据进行重构,实验上验证了其优越的图像重构性能.这一研究有望推动CUP在高时空分辨观测需求中的应用,并为超快动力学的实时探测作出重大贡献.
