A new concept for narrow-band direct nuclear laser spectroscopy of $^{229\text{m}}$Th is proposed, using a single comb mode of a vacuum ultraviolet frequency comb generated from the 7th harmonic of an Yb-doped fiber laser system. In this…

The nucleus of the radioisotope thorium-229 (${}^{229}$Th) features an isomer with an exceptionally low excitation energy that enables direct laser manipulation of nuclear states. For this reason, it is a leading candidate for use in…

The 7.8 eV nuclear isomer transition in 229 Thorium has been suggested as an etalon transition in a new type of optical frequency standard. Here we discuss the construction of a "solid-state nuclear clock" from Thorium nuclei implanted into…

A recent laser spectroscopy experiment [J. Thielking et al., Nature (London) 556, 321 (2018)] has determined for the first time the magnetic dipole moment of the 7.8 eV isomeric state $^{229m}$Th. The measured value differs by a factor of…

I show a way to tune photo-nuclear cross section effectively and therefore achieve nuclear transitions "on demand". The method is based on combinatorial enhancement of multiphoton processes under intense conditions. Taking advantage of…

It is proposed to use the isomer ionic ground state $^{229m}$Th$^{4+}$ embedded in transparent crystals for precision determination of unknown neutrino parameters. Isolation from solid environment of the proposed nuclear process, along with…

A way to considerably enhance terahertz radiation, emitted in the interaction of intense mid-infrared laser pulses with atomic gases, in both the total energy and the electric-field amplitude is suggested. The scheme is based on the…

An alternative method to determine the excitation energy of the $~^{229\rm{m}}\rm{Th}$ isomer via the laser-induced electronic bridge is investigated theoretically. In the presence of an optical or ultra-violet laser at energies that…

We consider ultracold atoms in a far detuned optical lattice orientated across a high-Q optical resonator. Applying an external driving laser to the atoms, which is red detuned from the cavity mode by one vibrational quantum, induces…

Using an affordable ytterbium laser with sub-mJ of energy combined with a novel pulse compression technique, we demonstrate an extremely competitive state-of-the-art terahertz (THz) source with 53 mW of average power and 310 kV/cm at focus…

We experimentally demonstrate a one-color two-photon transition from the $5\mathit{S}_{1/2}$ ground state to the $6\mathit{S}_{1/2}$ excited state in rubidium (Rb) vapor using a continuous wave laser at 993 nm. The Rb vapor contains both…

The methods producing cold molecules from cold atoms tend to leave molecular ensembles with substantial residual internal energy. For instance, Cs2 molecules initially formed via photoassociation of cold Cs atoms are in several vibrational…

While laser excitation of the nuclear isomeric transition in $^{229}$Th has been recently achieved for thorium atoms embedded in large-bandgap crystals, laser excitation and characterization of the nuclear transition in trapped…

Cavity-free lasing of N$_2^+$ induced by a femtosecond laser pulse at 800~nm is nearly totally suppressed by a delayed twin pump pulse. We explain this surprising effect within the V-scheme of lasing without population inversion. A fast…

In this paper we discuss the possibility of the excitation of nuclear electromagnetic transitions by the absorption of X-ray quanta produced in appropriate inner-shell atomic transitions, and the relevance of this process for the…

The optimal parameters for nuclear excitation by electron capture in plasma environments generated by the interaction of ultra-strong optical lasers with solid matter are investigated theoretically. As a case study we consider a 4.85 keV…

The unusually narrow features in the fluorescence from Rubidium-85 driven by cooling and repumper laser fields, reported in an earlier experiment [1] are explained on the basis of a four-level density matrix calculation. Quantum effects…

The direct and secondary nuclear excitation produced by an x-ray free electron laser when interacting with a solid-state nuclear target is investigated theoretically. When driven at the resonance energy, the x-ray free electron laser can…

Room temperature Terahertz stimulated emission and population inversion in optically pumped graphene is reported. We experimentally observe fast relaxation and relatively slow recombination dynamics of photogenerated electrons/holes in an…

The initialization of nuclear spin to its ground state is challenging due to its small energy scale compared with thermal energy, even at cryogenic temperature. In this Letter, we propose an opto-nuclear quadrupolar effect, whereby…
