A Research on the Relation Between the Integrated Three-Pulse Photon Echo Signal and the Correlation Function

  • Published:
Russian Physics Journal Aims and scope

The photon echo phenomenon has been described and proven with classical theory. In this paper, in order to calculate the three-pulse photon echo signal, we treat the vibration of material molecules as the model of the multimode Brownian oscillator (MBO). Using the correlation function, we can calculate the linear function, the time response function, and the third-order nonlinear polarization; then we can obtain the three-pulse photon echo signal. After that, we numerically simulate the three-pulse photon echo signal by changing the contribution ratios of these four kinds of vibration in the MBO model and setting the coherence time (t12) or the population time (t23) equal to zero. Finally, we analyze the result and find that these three laser pulses are not in time coincidence completely when the signal reaches a maximum. In addition, the location of the peak signal intensity will vary if the oscillating regime of the material molecules changes.
