RESUMO

We report on the experimental investigation of the ultrafast dynamics of valley-polarized excitons in monolayer WSe2 using transient reflection spectroscopy with few-cycle laser pulses with 7 fs duration. We observe that at room temperature, the anisotropic valley population of excitons decays on two different timescales. The shorter decay time of approximately 120 fs is related to the initial hot exciton relaxation related to the fast direct recombination of excitons from the radiative zone, while the slower picosecond dynamics corresponds to valley depolarization induced by Coloumb exchange-driven transitions of excitons between two inequivalent valleys.

RESUMO

We report on the enhancement of high harmonic generation (HHG) yield in a metasurface consisting of amorphous silicon disks in a periodic array on an insulator substrate. The structure was designed and optimized using the finite-difference time-domain method for the maximum enhancement, which reaches the factor of 20-times compared to the unstructred surface. The local field is enhanced by a broadband magnetic resonance mode allowing to use ultrashort laser pulses with Fourier transform limit down to 40 fs. Due to the anisotropic structure of the metasurface, both the local-field enhancement and the HHG yield show strong polarization anisotropy.

RESUMO

We study free electron dynamics during inelastic interaction with the ponderomotive potential of a traveling optical wave using classical and quantum-mechanical models. We show that in the strong interaction regime, the electrons trapped in the periodic potential oscillate leading to periodic revolutions of sharp peaks of the density distributions in the real and momentum spaces. In this regime, the synchronicity between the velocity of the optical wave and the electron propagation velocity is not required. Asynchronous interaction enables acceleration or deceleration of a significant fraction of the electrons to a final spectrum with a relative spectral width of 0.5%-2.5%. This technique allows one to accelerate electrons from rest to keV energies while reaching a narrow spectrum of kinetic energies and femtosecond pulsed operation.

RESUMO

The field of dielectric laser accelerators (DLA) garnered a considerable interest in the past six years as it offers novel opportunities in accelerator science and potentially transformative applications. Currently, the most widespread approach considers silicon-based structures due to their low absorption and high refractive index in the infrared spectral region and the well-developed silicon processing technology. In this paper we investigate a diamond as an alternative to silicon, mainly due to its considerably higher damage threshold. In particular, we find that our diamond grating allows a three times higher acceleration gradient (60 MeV/m) compared to silicon gratings designed for a similar electron energy. Using more complex geometries, GeV/m acceleration gradients are within reach for subrelativistic electrons.

RESUMO

We report on the efficacy of a novel design for dielectric laser accelerators by adding a distributed Bragg reflector (DBR) to a dual pillar grating accelerating structure. This mimics a double-sided laser illumination, resulting in an enhanced longitudinal electric field while reducing the deflecting transverse effects when compared to single-sided illumination. We improve the coupling efficiency of the incident electric field into the accelerating mode by 57%. The 12 µm long structures accelerate sub-relativistic 28 keV electrons with gradients of up to 200 MeV/m in theory and 133 MeV/m in practice. This Letter shows how lithographically produced nano-structures help to make novel laser accelerators more efficient.

RESUMO

We demonstrate an experimental technique for both transverse and longitudinal characterization of bunched femtosecond free electron beams. The operation principle is based on monitoring of the current of electrons that obtained an energy gain during the interaction with the synchronized optical near-field wave excited by femtosecond laser pulses. The synchronous accelerating/decelerating fields confined to the surface of a silicon nanostructure are characterized using a highly focused sub-relativistic electron beam. Here the transverse spatial resolution of 450 nm and femtosecond temporal resolution of 480 fs (sub-optical-cycle temporal regime is briefly discussed) achievable by this technique are demonstrated.

RESUMO

We report on time-resolved photoluminescence of a free-exciton in IIa chemical vapor deposition diamond crystal. Large difference between decay times for one- and two-photon excitation processes was observed. The longest room-temperature exciton photoluminescence lifetime τ(FE)=220 ns was obtained under two-photon excitation with a photon energy of 4.7 eV. The role of diffusion and surface recombination velocity in exciton photoluminescence dynamics was studied using a new optical method based on two-photon excited time-resolved photoluminescence. The measured room-temperature value of diffusion coefficient in diamond was D=40 cm(2)/s.
