Abstract:
The possibility of selective population of the energy levels of quantum systems using a single unipolar subcycle pulse and a pair of pulses has been studied. The possibility of selective population of quantum levels has been clearly illustrated based on the numerical solution of a system of equations for the density matrix of a three-level medium that interacts with a pair of subcycle attosecond and terahertz pulses. The possibility of creating a population inversion in a three-level medium using a pair of such pulses has been shown. The dynamics of population gratings in a three-level medium exposed to the action of a pair of Gaussian pulses of large amplitude on the system is studied. Whereas the shape of the gratings in a weak field is harmonic, according to analytical calculations performed by the perturbation theory, in the case of a strong field, the spatial profile of the gratings may differ from the sinusoidal profile and may have a complex structure of peaks.
The study of the possibility of selective excitation of a quantum system by a single unipolar pulse, as well as the possibility of creating an inverted population in a quantum system using optical attosecond and terahertz pulses, was performed under the financial support of the Russian Foundation for Basic Research within the scientific project no. 20-32-70049. Investigations of the dynamics of population gratings were carried out under the financial support of the Russian Science Foundation within the scientific project no. 19-72-00012.
