Book Description
(Cont.) The pulse timing, shape, phase, and spectral content within all beams may be specified, yielding an unprecedented level of control over the interacting fields in nonlinear spectroscopic experiments. Heterodyne detection and phase cycling of the nonlinear signal is easily implemented due to the excellent phase stability between each output beam. This approach combines the waveform generation capabilities of magnetic resonance spectroscopy with the wavevector specification and phase-matching of nonlinear optical spectroscopy, yielding the signal selectivity and control capabilities of both. Results on three prototype systems will be used to illustrate the exciting possibilities with this method.
