Combination frequencies

Figure Al.6.31. Multiple pathway interference interpretation of pump-dump control. Since each of the pair of pulses contains many frequency components, there are an infinite number of combination frequencies which lead to the same fmal energy state, which generally interfere. The time delay between the pump and...

Any given fundamental or combination frequency may be broadened to a finite width by the presence of hot bands (discussed in section 2.3.1.1.) such a mechanism might, for example, blur together closely lying Stepanov sub-bands or Fermi resonance peaks. Cooling to a sufficiently low temperature would in such cases reveal the sub-structure more clearly [6]. 

Theory predicts that for a harmonic oscillator only a change from one vibrational energy level to the next higher is allowed, but for anharmonic oscillators weaker transitions to higher vibrational energy levels can occur. The resulting "overtones" are found at approximate multiples of the frequency of the fundamental. Combination frequencies representing sums... 

Taking into account all available data of frequency differences obtained during the course of the matrix measurements, and correcting for different iodine pressures, different iodine cells and different HFS-separations, we derive a combined frequency reproducibility of the two laser systems in the experiment of better than 1.5 0.7 kHz. This is a notable result, given the fundamental differences between the two iodine spectrometers as far as saturated absorption signal detection, laser frequency stabilization and laser set-ups are concerned. 

In conclusion we presented an absolute frequency measurement and a frequency comparison of two iodine stabilized frequency-doubled Nd YAG laser systems, one set up at the Institute of Laser Physics, Novosibirsk, Russia, the other at the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt, Braunschweig, Germany. The individual frequency stability and the reproducibility of the two laser systems were characterized. It was found that despite fundamental differences as far as frequency generation, signal detection and frequency stabilization techniques are concerned the combined frequency reproducibility of the two laser systems was better than 1.5 0.7 kHz. In a further experiment the absolute frequencies of HFS components of the R(56)32-0 and P(54)32-0 transitions in I2 were determined using a phase-coherent frequency chain. This chain links the frequency of the -stabilized Nd YAG laser to a CH4-stabilized He-Ne laser at 3.39 pm. The He-Ne reference was calibrated before the measurement against an atomic... 

The intensities of absorption at the different bands is indicated roughly by the per cent transmission plotted as ordinates in Figs. 35 and 36. The intense absorption in certain bands, even for very small quantities of absorbing material, leads to the conclusion that these bands are fundamentals, involving displacements of the atoms only to the first excited quantum state. The displacements to higher quantum states and the combination between two sets of quantum states are less probable and, consequently, the harmonics and the combination frequencies show less intense absorption. 

Equation (4) shows that modulations of the two-pulse echo amplitude occur at the fundamental hyperfine frequencies and at their sum and difference combination frequencies. The amplitude of the modulations is given by the product of the transition probabilities for the two different transitions associated with branching , Mp wp, while the nonmodulated portion of the echo envelope depends only on the product of the transition probabilities for the nonbranching spins, m " or vf. Substituting the expressions for u and w given by equations (2) and (3) into equation (4) yields... 

A binary combination band is due to a transition in which two vibrations change by one quantum. In a summation band each vibration gains one quantum V3u = vj + where Vj and are the combining frequencies. If the initial state of the molecule is not the vibrationless ground state (e.g. vj is singly excited in the initial state) the two vibrations can combine to yield a difference band, v irr = provided... 

The compound combines frequency and use-dependent blockade of Na channels, Ca " channel modulation, inhibition of glutamate release, and monoamine oxidase B inhibition. A study in human volunteers was successfully completed. The findings of MAOB inhibition at the dosages tested indicate the possibility of the potential use in Parkinson s disease. 

It is essential to be able to combine frequency discrimination in the F1 dimension with retention of pure absorption lineshapes. Three different ways of achieving this are commonly used each will be analysed here. 

Since the CO2 molecule is symmetrical, its stretching vibration v is IR inactive and has practically no dispersion. Hence, the Van Kranendonk model can be employed to interpret the experimenatl results obtained in the region of the combination frequency v + 1/3. This has actually been taken into account by Bogani (10). Shown in Fig. 6.9 is the transmission spectrum, measured by Dows and Schettino (54), of a crystal of 1.8 /xm thickness. Calculations carried out by Bogani (10) indicate that the sharp absorption peak obtained in this case corresponds to the excitation of a biphonon. 

Similar results were obtained (55) for the N20 crystal in the frequency region that corresponds to the combination frequency i/ + 1/3. The N2O molecule is not symmetrical and therefore all of its three intramolecular vibrations, i/, 1/2 and 1/3, are IR active. Its flexural vibration v2 is two-fold degenerate and, owing to... 

Liquid water, also in the form of droplets in clouds, have a much broader type of vibrational bands than the gaseous molecule. H20 shows many overtones and combination frequencies unexpectedly strong, compared with the three fundamental frequencies. The best known effect is perhaps the blue colour of liquid water, mainly due to a weak band close to the sodium lines at 17000 cm"1 (and absent in D20). With a spectroscope, it is easy to see the narrow lines of gaseous H20 and a broad band of the liquid in the daylight from the sky.
