Topology of adiabatic passage
2002
We examine the topology of eigenenergy surfaces characterizing the population transfer processes based on adiabatic passage. We show that this topology is the essential feature for the analysis of the population transfers and the prediction of its final result. We reinterpret diverse known processes, such as stimulated Raman adiabatic passage (STIRAP), frequency-chirped adiabatic passage and Stark-chirped rapid adiabatic passage. Moreover, using this picture, we display new related possibilities of transfer. In particular, we show that we can selectively control the level that will be populated in STIRAP process in $\ensuremath{\Lambda}$ or V systems by the choice of the peak amplitudes or …
19F-MRT der Lungenventilation in Atemanhaltetechnik mittels SF6-Gas
2000
Breathhold 19 F-Magnetic Resonance Imaging of Lung Ventilation using SF 6 Gas. Objective: Development of a method to analyze lung ventilation by 19 F-magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of inspired SF 6 gas during breathhold. Material and Methods: Measurements were performed with a Siemens Magnetom Vision 1.5T scanner using the conventional gradient overdrive. Coronal images of the lung were acquired using ultrafast gradient-echo pulse sequences with TR/TE/α = 1.4 ms/ 0.48 ms/40° without slice selection. With NEX = 200 averages and MA = 32 × 64 raw data matrix, the acquisition time was 9s/image. Higher spatial resolution of 4.7 × 6.3 × 15 mm 3 was obtained with a three-dimensional pulse sequen…
Periodic time-domain modulation for the electrically tunable control of optical pulse train envelope and repetition rate multiplication
2012
An electrically tunable system for the control of optical pulse sequences is proposed and demonstrated. It is based on the use of an electrooptic modulator for periodic phase modulation followed by a dispersive device to obtain the temporal Talbot effect. The proposed configuration allows for repetition rate multiplication with different multiplication factors and with the simultaneous control of the pulse train envelope by simply changing the electrical signal driving the modulator. Simulated and experimental results for an input optical pulse train of 10 GHz are shown for different multiplication factors and envelope shapes. © 2006 IEEE.
