3 "Snapshots" of Molecular Motion Transient Absorption Spectroscopy High excitation densities Measurable depopulation of the ground state the evolution of the excited state is monitored by measuring the absorption change 5 Pump-Probe (Transient Absorption) Spectroscopy Measuring the relaxation dynamics with sub-100 fs time-resolution Generated data sets: transient absorption spectra and signal transients Application of various excitation pulses with different wavelengths and temporal delays Processes running parallel may complicate the data interpretation Spectral regions: FIR (> 10 µm): Rotations, librations (intermolecular vibrations), H-bonds, free charges MIR (2 10 µm): Intramolecular vibrations NIR (780 nm 2 µm): Overtones VIS ( nm): Electronic transitions within molecules UltravUV (3 nm 380 nm): Electronic transitions within atoms and molecules, transitions of the subshell electrons 6

Motzkus, Uni Heidelberg 7 Coherent Control of Chemical Reactions Through excitation with optical pulses in a special temporal progression of phase and frequency, electronic and vibrational transitions can be induced in a certain order, which raises the quantum yield of certain reaction products. 8

9 Optical Absorption and Fluorescence S2 Lifetime of higher vibrational states s S1 Lifetime of excited electronic states (e.g. S1) 10-9 s S0 Fluorescence frequencies are smaller than the absorption frequencies "Stokes shift" Very fast relaxation into the lowest electronically excited state Kasha's rule: the fluorescence always occurs from the lowest electronically excited state 17 Fluorescence Spectra Fluorescence spectrum: Fluorescence intensity I(l) at a fixed excitation wavelength. Vibrational structure of S1 Vibrational structure of S0 Following Kasha's rule the Fluorescence always starts from S1 à Does not depend on the pump wavelength (Exception: very short laser pulses wave packet dynamic, or like Azulene Fluorescence from S1 and S2). Relaxation = Fluorescence + Non-radiative Transitions + InterSystem Crossing 18
10 Fluorescence vs. Phosphorescence Luminescence = Photon emission (in general) Fluorescence Phosphorescence Jablonski diagram Intersystem Crossing (ISC): S2 à T1 transition T1 à S1 Transition is forbidden, hence long phosphorescence lifetime 19 Relaxation Dynamic of Fluorescence and Phosphorescence The excitation pulse marks the "Start". A single luminescence photon turns off the detector and gives us the "Stop". The correlator measures the time difference between "Start" and "Stop". The measured times are depicted in a histogram. 20
11 Fluorescence Up-Conversion Fluorescence F F F Fluorescence (vis) Measured signal is proportional to the fluorescence intensity at td. The pulse duration of the gate pulses determines the time resolution. Only single SFG photons are detected à higher laser repetition rates Limited time window mechanical delay line (15 cm = 1 ns) 21 Pump-Dump Fluorescence Spectroscopy All photochemical reactions proceed within the first excited state. The wave packet dynamics provide vital information about S1 and lead to a change of the fluorescence characteristics. Pump-dump fluorescence spectroscopy provides information about the wave packet dynamics in S1. Cyanine Wei, Nakamura, Takeuchi, Tahara, JACS 133 (2011)
12 Kerr-Gate for fs Fluorescence Spectroscopy The gating of the fluorescence signal is realized through the Kerr-effect. +) transient fluorescence spectra are measured directly -) the gate pulse has to be much stronger in comparison to the up-conversion technique Prof. Peter Gilch, Uni Düsseldorf 23 Sum-Frequency Generation (SFG) Spectroscopy Surface-/interface sensitive method: for symmetry reasons SFG is forbidden in isotropic media (dipole approximation) SFG-Spectroscopy on surfaces and interfaces: Surface and bulk have different structure/symmetry 24
13 SFG Signal If ωpr = ωvib, or ωpr = ωel, SFG is resonantly amplified and hence yields surface-specific (spectroscopic) information Raman cross-section IR cross-section population density Resonant SFG-signal only if the vibration is Raman and IR-active at the same time Change of the Raman polarizability à Raman-active Change of the dipole moment à IR-active 25 Time- und Spectrally-Resolved SFG Spectroscopy +) Sub-monolayer sensitivity +) Surface-specific +) Well aligned output signal +) Non-destroying, in situ, +) High spatial, temporal and spectral resolution Unique application scenarios: Examination at wet interfaces Surface structure of polymers and liquids Ultrafast dynamics at interfaces Every interface accessible to light VIS Probe Pump SFG 26
14 Polarization-Resolved SFG Spectroscopy 3 (out of 8) SFG polarization combinations are non zero PPP and SSP yield information about rotations out of plane SPS yields information about rotations in plane 27 Resonant Light-Atom Interaction in Two-Level Systems Schrödinger equation: Free atom Light-atom interaction c1,2 : Time-dependent amplitudes of the two stationary eigenfunctions u1,2 Equations for the time-dependent amplitudes: Short: Definition: Resonant Rabi frequency Detuning of the light frequency with respect to the atomic resonance Rotating-Wave approximation 28
15 Rabi Oscillations Equations for new coefficients: In resonance: d = 0 à c1(0) = 1 c2(0) = 0 The system oscillates between ground state and excited state with Ω0 Highly nonlinear dynamic à higher light intensity = strong oscillations Pulse area A = Rabi frequency x Pulse duration à Pi-half pulse: A = p/2 à Starting with an atom in the ground state, a Pi-half pulse generates a coherent superposition between ground state and excited state. This state posses an oscillating maximum dipole moment. Pi-pulse: A = p : The amplitudes between the states 1> and 2> are swapped under the influence of a Pi-pulse. 29 Rabi Oscillations with Detuning Solution at d 0 Generalized Rabi frequency: Density matrix: Coherences of the system Populations and For pure quantum states the phase j between 1> and 2> is constant and controlled in the experiment! Example: For à ß Completely coherent superposition à ß Completely incoherent superposition 30
16 Optical Bloch Equations (OBE) ß Completely coherent ß Completely incoherent Experimental distinction between a completely coherent and a completely incoherent superposition: a suitable p/2-pulse can transfer a coherent system entirely into the eigenstate 1> or 2>. 2LS for the density matrix + spontaneous emission = Optical Bloch Equations (OBE) Definition: Bloch vector (u,v,w) ß Dispersive component ß Absorptive component ß Inversion Optical Bloch eq. à Dampening of the secondary-diagonal elements as the population from 2> is lost 31 Bloch Vectors and Bloch Sphere In case without dampening: Bloch sphere: Describes a precession movement of the Bloch vector around the axis (W0,0,-d) Precession frequency: (0,0,-1) (0,0,1) (0,-1,0) = Pulse area In case with dampening à the Bloch vector moves within the Bloch sphere with the frequency à 32
17 Photon echo Photon Echo Inhomogeneously broadened ensemble of two-level systems: transition frequencies distributed around w0 Systems are initially in the ground state 1> Excitation with p/2-puls generates state of maximum population After excitation: free precession in (u,v) plane, frequency in the rotating reference system is different for every single dipole d = wl - w0 System disperses out of phase è destructive interference in the sum P After time t: p-pulse in Bloch sphere exactly swaps around the precession direction of all the elementary dipoles! Re-phasing of all the elementary dipoles after expiration of another time interval t: constructive interference yields macroscopic polarisation P once again. à Emission of a coherent light pulse: photon echo Requirement for a perfect photon echo: Phase relaxation time Tph of the single dipole >> t Intensity of the photon echo: Iecho µ e -4bt 33 Photon Echo: Experimental Applications Application: Measuring the microscopic phase relaxation time Tph or rather the homogenous line width b in the inhomogeneously broadened ensemble 2 Pulse photon echo 3 Pulse photon echo Local oscillator (similar to "Signal" at parametric amplification) Kurnit, Abelle and Hartmann, PRL 13 (1964) 547 The theoretical formulation uses the Liouville formulism and double-sided Feynman diagrams Information about coherent effects like T2- dephasing, anharmonic coupling and spectral diffusion of vibrations 34
18 Applications: Atomic Clocks Definition: The second is the duration of periods of the radiation corresponding to the transition between the two hyperfine levels of the ground state of the cesium 133 atom. How can we capture the clock cycle of the atoms? Interaction of the atoms with microwave radiation at frequency wl (d = 0). Generates free 133 Cs-atoms with controlled velocity The Ramsey Method: two separated interaction-zones (interaction with p/2-pulses each time), between which the atoms require a time-of-flight T. The measurement accuracy is determined by the interaction time t. 35 Atomic Clocks 1) An atom leaves the oven in the ground state 2) Through the p/2-puls (0,0,-1) à (0,-1,0) 3) Free time-of-flight T (i) For resonant light-atom interaction d = 0 à no dynamics ( no light: W0 = 0, d = 0) (ii) With detuning d 0 à the Bloch vector rotates around the w-axis by an angle dt (special case: dt = p) 4) Through the p/2-puls: (i) (0,-1,0) à (0,0,1) (ii) (0,1,0) à (0,0,-1) Ramsey interferences The measurement accuracy is determined through the time-of-flight T. 36
