2 Ultrafast laser physics (ULP) Time 1as! 1 picosecond = 1 ps = s 1 femtosecond = 1 fs = s 1 attosecond = 1 as = s Length 1am!
3 Measurement with!s time resolution Harold E. Edgerton, MIT" "! Flash photography:! Flash lights driven by electronics! triggered flash lights " #µs time resolution " (already available 1935)" limited by flash duration " ( light pulse duration )!
4 $ Straightforward: Measure slow event with fast event The problem $ However, all detectors are time-integrating on these time scales E. Muybridge: Animal Locomotion (1887) $ Solution: Map dynamics/ time axis to static observable!
5 The solution $ The classical pump-probe approach: $ Map time to translation in space:! = 2"x c $ Therefore # "x S(!x) " S(# )!x! $ 1 nm resolution in yields 7 as resolution in $ Delay is equivalent to real time if duration of probe pulse is negligible and process is perfectly reproducible $ This idea can be generalized to other mappings of time to time-independent quantities
6 Pump-Probe Measurement!t 2!z = c!t!!z = 1 µm "!t # 2 $ 3.3 fs
7 Ultrafast Pump-Probe Techniques Differential Transmission Spectroscopy Laser beam splitter probe pump chopper! c "t J PD device under test noise of probe photo detector (PD) signal = [T("t, I pump ) T(I pump = 0)] I probe Transmission of device under test with Why a chopper? pump on pump off Why not the chopper in the probe pulse? Why do you use a lock-in amplifier?! c signal!
8 Ultrafast Pump-probe Techniques Differential Transmission Spectroscopy Laser beam splitter probe pump chopper! c "t J PD device under test noise of probe photo detector (PD) signal = [T("t, I pump ) T(I pump = 0)] I probe Transmission of device under test with pump on pump off! c signal! Ultrafast measurements need some kind of nonlinearities in the measurement system (i.e. intensity dependent transmission)
