We propose a new method to measure the absolute photon absorption cross section of neutral molecules in a molecular beam. It is independent of our knowledge of the particle beam density, nor does it rely on photo-induced fragmentation or…
There is widespread interest in estimating the fluorescence properties of natural materials in an image. However, the separation between reflected and fluoresced components is difficult, because it is impossible to distinguish reflected and…
Single atoms form a model system for understanding the limits of single photon detection. Here, we develop a non-Markov theory of single-photon absorption by a two-level atom to place limits on the absorption (transduction) time. We show…
We report on interferometric autocorrelation measurements of broadband supercontinuum light in the anomalous dispersion regime using two-photon absorption in a GaP photodetector. The method is simple, low-cost, and provides a direct measure…
Transient absorption is a very powerful observable in attosecond experiments on atoms, molecules and solids and is frequently used in experiments employing phase-locked few-cycle infrared and XUV laser pulses derived from high harmonic…
Using the superlattice (SL) eigenvalues $E_{\mu ,\nu }^{c,v}$ and eigenfunctions $\varphi_{\mu\nu}^{c,v}(z) $, obtained within the theory of finite periodic systems, where $\mu$ indicates the subbands and $\nu$ the intra-subband levels, we…
The assumption that a small point-like configuration does not interact with nucleons leads to a new set of sum rules that are interpreted as models of the baryon-nucleon interaction. These models are rendered semi-realistic by requiring…
We present a unified view of the frequency dependence of the various scattering processes involved when a neutral hydrogen atom interacts with a monochromatic, linearly-polarized photon. A computational approach is employed of the atom…
Formulas to describe the photoabsorption and the photon scattering by a plasma or a liquid metal are derived in a unified manner with each other. It is shown how the nuclear motion, the free-electron motion and the core-electron behaviour…
The use of quantum resources can provide measurement precision beyond the shot-noise limit (SNL). The task of ab initio optical phase measurement---the estimation of a completely unknown phase---has been experimentally demonstrated with…
We show an experimental evidence of the domination of absorption over scattering in absorbance spectra of detonation nanodiamonds. We perform the absorbance measurements on the UV-Vis spectrophotometer equipped with integrating sphere and…
The multiple passages of light through an absorption inhomogeneity of finite size deep within a turbid medium is analyzed for optical imaging using the ``self-energy'' diagram. The nonlinear correction becomes more important for an…
Identifying signatures of quantum coherent behaviour in photoactive systems that are maintained in stationary states away from thermal equilibrium is an open problem of wide interest in a variety of physical scenarios, including single…
Nonlinear spectroscopy with quantum entangled photons is an emerging field of research that holds the promise to achieve a superior signal-to-noise ratio and effectively isolate many-body interactions. Photon sources used for this purpose…
We investigate the photon statistics of an ensemble of coherently driven non-interacting two-level atoms in the weak driving regime. As it turns out, the system displays unique emission characteristics that are strongly in contrast to the…
A singularly perturbed linear system of second order ordinary differential equations of reaction-diffusion type with given boundary conditions is considered. The leading term of each equation is multiplied by a small positive parameter.…
The manifestation of the wave nature of light through diffraction imposes limits on the resolution of optical imaging. For over a century, the Abbe-Rayleigh criterion has been utilized to assess the spatial resolution limits of optical…
Optical parametric down-conversion is a common source for the generation of non-classical correlated photonic states. Using a parametric down-conversion source and photon-number resolving detectors, we measure the two-mode photon-number…
The celebrated Lambert-Beer law of light absorption in photochromic media is only valid at low intensities of incident light and low concentration of chromophore. Here we address the generic problem of photo-absorption dynamics,…
In this paper we make a systematic use of the quantum measurement theory to describe perceived colors and analyze some of their fundamental properties. After motivating the naturalness of the quantum measurement approach in the mathematical…
