Coherent control of the waveforms of recoilless γ-ray photons

Abstract: The concepts and ideas of coherent, nonlinear and quantum optics deeply penetrate into the range of 10-100 kiloelectronvolt (keV) photon energies, corresponding to soft gamma-ray (hard xray )) radiation. The recent experimental achievements in this frequency range include demonstration of the parametric down-conversion in the Langevin regime [1], cavity electromagnetically induced transparency [2], collective Lamb shift [3], and single-photon revival in the nuclear absorbing sandwiches [4]. Realization of a s… Show more

“…The X-ray and gamma ray sources with controllable waveforms were up till now unavailable, and therefore there were no related applications. Now, for the first time, we have an available source of controllable gamma rays [59]. Single ultrashort gamma ray pulses, double pulses, and pulse trains with controllable pulse delays can be produced (.…”

“…Alternatively, in the realm of x-ray quantum optics [33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41], for instance the 57 Fe Mössbauer transition is characterized by ω 0 /2π ∼ 10 18 Hz, γ 0 ∼ MHz, a ∼ pm, and U = 0. For these systems, crystalline solid state targets naturally provide ordered arrays of x-ray emitters.…”

“…Nu- * paolo.longo@mpi-hd.mpg.de clear transitions driven, e.g., by synchrotron light [25], are a particularly promising implementation, fueled by a number of recent theoretical [26][27][28][29][30][31][32] and experimental [33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42] works. Typically, the nuclei are embedded in a solid state target, which may exhibit a crystalline structure.…”

“…The commissioning of the first x-ray free electron lasers (XFEL) [1][2][3][4][5] and the developments of x-ray optics elements [6][7][8][9][10][11][12] bring into play higher photon frequencies and promote the emerging field of x-ray quantum optics [13]. Apart from a powerful imaging tool, coherent x-ray light may also offer a solution for avoiding the diffraction limit bottleneck for compact photonic devices [14,15], and render possible the coherent control of transitions in ions [16][17][18][19][20] and nuclei [21][22][23][24][25][26][27]. Furthermore, new x-ray optical elements such as beam splitters [12] and mirrors [9,10] lay the foundation for developing quantum interferometers and controlling the quantum behavior of single x-ray photons.…”
