Stark-switching technique

Fig. 19.7 Schematic diagram of the Stark switching technique applied to n = 7 Rydberg states. The arrow shows laser excitation of the Stark state in the field Eg. The field is then reduced to zero adiabatically to produce the Z = 5 state. The zero field separations of the Z...

Figure 7.23 illustrates the Stark switching technique, which can be applied to all those molecules that show a sufficiently large Stark shift [908]. In the case of Doppler-broadened absorption lines the laser of fixed frequency initially excited molecules of velocity v. A Stark pulse, which abruptly shifts the molecular ab-...

Fig. 12.20. (a) Stark-switching technique for the case of a Doppler-broadened molecular transition, (b) Infrared photon echo for a CH3p vibration-rotation transition. The molecules are switched twice into resonance with a CW CO2 laser by the two Stark pulses shown in the lower trace. The 3rd pulse is the photon echo [12.63]...

Inspired in part by the manipulation of polar molecules by electric fields, a magnetic analog of the Stark decelerator has recendy been developed. Deceleration based on the magnetic interaction allows the manipulation of a wide range of atoms and molecules to which the Stark deceleration technique cannot be applied. The requisite rapid switching of the magnetic fields posed a considerable experimental challenge.
