“…Until now, the wide application of the coherent Raman detected electron paramagnetic resonance has been hampered by the lack of a sufficiently sensitive instrument operating at these frequencies. Microwave frequency optical heterodyne detection is likely to be useful in similar spectroscopic methods, such as coherent Brillouin scattering 21,22 and coherent Raman detection of hyperfine splittings. 7,8 …”

Temporal coherence Our expressions for signal power and hence for sensitivity are only valid for a linear optical heterodyne receiver, i.e., one in which the electrical signal power is proportional to the optical signal power. Furthermore, we assume that all the electrical signal power is confined in a spectral region small compared to the detection bandwidth ⌬ .…”

Recent advances in high speed photodetector and microwave receiver technology make microwave frequency optical heterodyning an attractive approach for the detection of a number of coherent Raman and Brillouin scattering experiments. We have therefore analyzed the sensitivity of microwave frequency optical heterodyne receivers. Experimental tests on a visible wavelength receiver operating at 13.5 GHz confirm the expectation of shot noise limited sensitivity. The relative merits of microwave frequency optical heterodyne detection and the alternative FabryPérot interferometry approach are discussed.

Impulsive Generation of Coherent Magnons by Linearly Polarized Light in the Easy-Plane AntiferromagnetFeBO3

Polarization-dependent excitation of coherent spin precession by 150 fs linearly polarized laser pulses is observed in the easy-plane antiferromagnet FeBO 3 . We show that the mechanism of excitation is impulsive stimulated Raman scattering. This process is shown to be determined not only by the magnetooptical constants of the material, but also by the properties of the spin precession itself. Though carrying no angular momentum, the linearly polarized laser pulses act on the spins as effective fields that can be considered as an ultrafast inverse Cotton-Mouton effect.

“…The transverse magnetization gives rise to coherent Raman scattering of a laser beam interacting with the paramagnetic center. The scattered Raman radiation can be detected by separating it from the incident laser radiation with a Fabry-Perot interferometer 11,12 or by optical heterodyne detection. 13 As an alternative to the coherent Raman picture, this experiment can also be considered as a measurement of an oscillating circular dichroism induced by the precessing transverse magnetization of the electron spin.…”

Optically detected electron paramagnetic resonance by microwave modulated magnetic circular dichroism

Electron paramagnetic resonance ͑EPR͒ can be detected optically, with a laser beam propagating perpendicular to the static magnetic field. As in conventional EPR, excitation uses a resonant microwave field. The detection process can be interpreted as coherent Raman scattering or as a modulation of the laser beam by the circular dichroism of the sample oscillating at the microwave frequency. The latter model suggests that the signal should show the same dependence on the optical wavelength as the MCD signal. We check this for two different samples ͓cytochrome c-551, a metalloprotein, and ruby (Cr 3ϩ :Al 2 O 3 )͔. In both cases, the observed wavelength dependence is almost identical to that of the MCD signal. A quantitative estimate of the amplitude of the optically detected EPR signal from the MCD also shows good agreement with the experimental results.
