Authors: Thilo vom H\"ovel, Franz Huybrechts, Eric Boltersdorf, Christian Wahl, Frank Vewinger, Martin Weitz
Abstract summary: Experimental results of two-photon spectroscopy of gaseous and supercritical xenon for pressures as high as $95 ; textbar$, probing the transitions from the $5p6$ electronic ground-state to the $5p56p$ and $5p56pprime$ excited-state configurations. Aiming at the exploration of possible pumping schemes for future vacuum-ultraviolet photon condensates, we have recorded degenerate two-photon excitation spectra of such dense xenon samples.

Abstract: Spectroscopy of gases under high-pressure conditions is of interest in various fields such as plasma physics and astrophysics. Recently, it has also been proposed to utilize a high-pressure noble gas environment as a thermalization medium to extend the wavelength range of photon Bose-Einstein condensates to the vacuum-ultraviolet regime, from the presently accessible visible and near-infrared spectral regimes. In this work, we report on experimental results of two-photon spectroscopy of gaseous and supercritical xenon for pressures as high as $95 \; \text{bar}$, probing the transitions from the $5p^6$ electronic ground-state to the $5p^56p$ and $5p^56p^\prime$ excited-state configurations. Aiming at the exploration of possible pumping schemes for future vacuum-ultraviolet photon condensates, we have recorded degenerate two-photon excitation spectra of such dense xenon samples. In further measurements, we have investigated whether irradiation of an auxiliary light field can enhance the reabsorption of the emission on the second excimer continuum of xenon, which is subject to a large Stokes shift. To this end, absorption measurements have been conducted, driving the $5p^6 \rightarrow 5p^56p$ two-photon transitions nondegenerately.

Check-probe spectroscopy of lifetime-limited emitters in bulk-grown silicon carbide [0.4711628883579317]
We introduce a high-bandwidth check-probe' scheme to measure (laser-induced) spectral diffusion and ionisation rates. We demonstrate these methods on single V2 centers in commercially available bulk-grown 4H-silicon carbide. These results advance our understanding of spectral diffusion of quantum emitters in semiconductor materials, and may have applications for studying charge dynamics across other platforms.

Single photon emitters hosted in hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) are essential building blocks for quantum photonic technologies that operate at room temperature. We experimentally demonstrate large-area arrays of plasmonic nanoresonators for Purcell-induced site-controlled SPEs. Our results offer arrays of bright, heterogeneously integrated quantum light sources, paving the way for robust and scalable quantum information systems.

Search for axion resonances in vacuum birefringence with three-beam collisions [0.0]
We consider birefringent (i.e., polarization changing) scattering of x-ray photons at the superposition of two optical laser beams of ultra-high intensity. By changing the pump and probe laser orientations and frequencies, one can even scan different axion masses.

Dissipative stabilization of maximal entanglement between non-identical emitters via two-photon excitation [49.1574468325115]
Two non-identical quantum emitters, when placed within a cavity and coherently excited at the two-photon resonance, can reach stationary states of nearly maximal entanglement. We show that this mechanism is merely one among a complex family of phenomena that can generate both stationary and metastable entanglement when driving the emitters at the two-photon resonance.

Attosecond Entangled Photons from Two-Photon Decay of Metastable Atoms: A Source for Attosecond Experiments and Beyond [1.1417805445492082]
We propose the generation of attosecond entangled bi-photons in the extreme-ultraviolet regime by two-photon decay of a metastable atomic state. The generation rate from a direct four photon excitation of helium at 240 nm is calculated and used to assess some feasible schemes to generate these bi-photons.

Aspects of Two-photon Absorption of Squeezed Light: the CW limit [0.0]
We find an enhancement of the two-photon absorption due to resonant contributions from the large squeezed light bandwidth. One-photon absorption is the dominant process in the region of parameter space where a large enhancement of the two-photon absorption is possible.

Hot-Band Absorption Can Mimic Entangled Two-Photon Absorption [52.77024349608834]
We investigated the fluorescence signals from Rhodamine 6G and LDS798 excited with a CW laser or an entangled photon pair source at 1060 nm. We observed a signal that originates from hot-band absorption (HBA), which is one-photon absorption from thermally-populated vibrational levels of the ground electronic state. For the typical conditions under which E2PEF measurements are performed, contributions from the HBA process could lead to a several orders-of-magnitude overestimate of the quantum advantage for excitation efficiency.

Entangled Two-Photon Absorption Spectroscopy with Varying Pump Wavelength [0.0]
In virtual-state spectroscopy, information about the energy-level structure of an arbitrary sample is retrieved by Fourier transforming sets of measured two-photon absorption probabilities. We propose and discuss an extension of entangled two-photon absorption spectroscopy that solves this problem by means of repeated measurements at different pump wavelengths.
