Physical Review Letters, 12 Feb. 2024, [Reviewed] - 〔Major achievements〕Cascade and yoked superfluorescence detected by sum frequency generation spectroscopy
K. Kitano; H. Maeda, Lead, We investigated the superfluorescent decay process of dense rubidium atomic vapor in a cell. Using a femtosecond laser pulse, the atoms were excited from the 5S ground state to the 6P state. The m and m fields were generated on the cascaded decay, 6P → 6S → 5P, which further stimulated the 780 nm forward emission on the 5P → 5S transition. Using sum frequency generation (SFG) spectroscopy, we observed all emission fields and the time delay between them, with sufficient temporal resolution. The experimental results were successfully reproduced using semiclassical simulations., Optica Publishing Group
