Femtosecond Interferometric Waveform Measurement of Photon Echoes Using a Collinear Geometry

A new method for waveform measurement of photon echoes using a modified Michelson interferometer has been developed. The experimental setup uses collinear geometry, and photon echo signals are detected using a double-phase modulation technique. The amplitude and phase of photon echoes and those of e...

Description
Summary:A new method for waveform measurement of photon echoes using a modified Michelson interferometer has been developed. The experimental setup uses collinear geometry, and photon echo signals are detected using a double-phase modulation technique. The amplitude and phase of photon echoes and those of excitation pulses are simultaneously measured by this technique. The method has been applied to a photon echo experiment on a dye solution. The results are explained using a stochastic modulation model with an accumulation effect of population grating.
