QuasiCerenkov Radiation of Relativistic Electrons in Crystals in the Presence of External Excitations

The paper is devoted to the study of the influence of crystalline lattice distortions due to external excitations (acoustic vibrations, temperature gradient, etc.) on the Quasicerenkov radiation. Equations describing Quasicerenkov radiation of charged particles in distorted crystals are derived. These equations are solved numerically. It is shown that certain types of lattice deformations may intensify the Quasicerenkov radiation by several times.Comment: 5 pages,2 figure

Relativistic theory of the above-threshold multiphoton ionization of hydrogen-like atoms in the ultrastrong laser fields

The relativistic theory of above-threshold ionization (ATI) of hydrogen-like atoms in ultrastrong radiation fields, taking into account the photoelectron induced rescattering in the continuum spectrum is developed. It is shown that the contribution of the latter in the multiphoton ionization probability even in the Born approximation by Coulomb field is of the order of ATI probability in the scope of Keldysh-Faisal-Reiss ansatz.Comment: REVTeX, 13 page

On the theory of the relativistic cross sections for stimulated bremsstrahlung on an arbitrary electrostatic potential in the strong electromagnetic field

On the base of relativistic generalized eikonal approximation wave function the multiphoton cross sections of a Dirac particle bremsstrahlung on an arbitrary electrostatic potential and strong laser radiation field are presented. In the limit of the Born approximation the ultimate analytical formulas for arbitrary polarization of electromagnetic wave have been obtained.Comment: Revtex,10 pages,3 figure

Multiphoton Resonant Transitions of Electrons in the Laser Field in a Medium

Within the scope of the relativistic quantum theory for electron-laser interaction in a medium and using the resonant approximation for the two degenerated states of an electron in a monochromatic radiation field [1] a nonperturbative solution of the Dirac equation (nonlinear over field solution of the Hill type equation) are obtained. The multiphoton cross sections of electrons coherent scattering on the plane monochromatic wave at the Cherenkov resonance are obtained taking into account the specificity of induced Cherenkov process [1, 2] and spin-laser interaction as well. In the result of this resonant scattering the electron beam quantum modulation at high frequencies occurs that corresponds to a quantity of an electron energy exchange at the coherent reflection from the ''phase lattice'' of slowed plane wave in a medium. So, we can expect to have a coherent X-ray source in induced Cherenkov process, since such beam is a potential source of coherent radiation itself.Comment: 6 pages, REVTE

Relativistic quantum theory of high harmonic generation on atoms/ions by strong laser fields

High-order harmonic generation (HHG) by hydrogenlike atoms/ions in the uniform periodic electric field, formed by the two linearly polarized counterpropagating laser beams of relativistic intensities, is studied. The relativistic quantum theory of HHG in such fields, at which the impeding factor of relativistic magnetic drift of a strong wave can be eliminated, is presented arising from the Dirac equation. Specifically, a scheme of HHG in underdense plasma with the copropagating ultraintense laser and fast ion beams is proposed.Comment: 8 pages, 8 figures, Conference: Photons, Atoms, and Qubits 2007 (PAQ07, paper 47

Collective two-boson decay of excitons in Bose-Einstein condensate and generation of coherent photon-phonon radiation

The collective decay of excitons from initial Bose-Einstein condensate state is investigated theoretically. As practically more interesting case we consider excitons of the yellow series in the semiconductor cuprous oxide where we have collective photon and phonon assisted decay of excitons. It is shown that because of intrinsic instability of recoilless two-boson decay of Bose-Einstein condensate, the spontaneously emitted bosonic pairs are amplified leading to an exponential buildup of a macroscopic population into the certain modes. The collective decay rate has a nonlinear dependence on the excitonic density being comparable or larger than Auger recombination loss rate up to the high densities, which makes obtainable its observation. The considering phenomenon can also be applied for the realization of phonon laser.Comment: 12 pages, 1 figur

Multiphoton interaction of a qutrit with single-mode quantized field in the ultrastrong and deep strong coupling regimes

We consider multiphoton dynamics of a quantum system composed of a three-state atom (a qutrit) and a single-mode photonic field in the ultrastrong and deep strong coupling regimes, when the coupling strength is comparable to or larger than the oscillator energy scale. We assume a qutrit to be in a polar-$\Lambda$ configuration in which two lower levels have mean dipole moments. Direct multiphoton resonant transitions revealing generalized Rabi oscillations, collapse, and revivals in atomic excitation probabilities for the ultrastrong couplings are studied. In the deep strong coupling regime particular emphasis is placed on the ground state of considering system which exhibits strictly nonclassical properties.Comment: 10 pages, 12 figures, Submitted to Phys.

Microscopic quantum description of second-order nonlinearities in 2D hexagonal nanostructures beyond the Dirac cone approximation

Single layers of hexagonal two-dimensional nanostructures such as graphene, silicene, and germanene exhibit large carrier Fermi velocities and, consequently, large light-matter coupling strength making these materials promising elements for nano-opto-electronics. Although these materials are centrosymmetric, the spatial dispersion turns out to be quite large allowing the second-order nonlinear response of such materials to be comparable to the non-centrosymmetric 2D ones. The second-order response of massless Dirac fermions has been extensively studied, however a general approach correct over the full Brillouin zone is lacking so far. To complete this gap, in the current paper we develop a general quantum-mechanical theory of the in-plane second-order nonlinear response beyond the Dirac cone approximation and applicable to the full Brillouin zone of the hexagonal tight-binding nanostructures. We present explicit calculation of the nonlinear susceptibility tensor of 2D hexagonal nanostructures applicable to arbitrary three-wave mixing processes.Comment: 14 pages, 13 figure

Multiphoton excitation and high-harmonics generation in topological insulator

Multiphoton interaction of coherent electromagnetic radiation with 2D metallic carriers confined on the surface of the 3D topological insulator is considered. A microscopic theory describing the nonlinear interaction of a strong wave and metallic carriers with many-body Coulomb interaction is developed. The set of integrodifferential equations for the interband polarization and carrier occupation distribution is solved numerically. Multiphoton excitation of Fermi-Dirac sea of 2D massless carriers is considered for a THz pump wave. It is shown that in the moderately strong pump wave field along with multiphoton interband/intraband transitions the intense radiation of high harmonics takes place.Comment: 13 pages, 7 figure

Nonlinear absorption of high-intensity shortwave radiation in plasma within relativistic quantum theory

On the base of the quantum kinetic equation for density matrix in plasma at the stimulated bremsstrahlung of electrons on ions, the nonlinear absorption rate for high-intensity shortwave radiation in plasma has been obtained within relativistic quantum theory. Both classical Maxwellian and degenerate quantum plasma are considered for x-ray lasers of high intensities. Essentially different dependences of nonlinear absorption rate on polarization of strong laser radiation is stated.Comment: 8 pages, 9 figure
