Combined system of synchrotron radiation and laser for solid-state research

Abstract

Two combined systems of synchrotron radiation and laser have been constructed for solid-state research. One is a laser-induced fluorescence system to observe synchrotron radiation-induced desorption of alkali atoms from ionic crystals, which consists of a laser diode with a high repetition rate and synchrotron radiation under a single-bunch operation. The other is a system of two-photon spectroscopy, which is based on the combination of synchrotron radiation pulses with a low intensity and high repetition rate and Nd:YAG laser pulses with a high intensity and low repetition rate. The experimental systems and the preliminary results are presented in this report.

Resonant enhancement effect on two-photon absorption due to excitons in alkaline-earth fluorides excited with synchrotron radiation and laser light

“…We have recently developed a technique of two-photon spectroscopy that does not have such a limitation. [6][7][8] Our technique is based on the detection of the luminescence caused by TPA, which is expected to be more sensitive than the transmission method.…”
