“…With the linear polarization of both laser beams parallel to each other, both beams are circularly polarized with the same helicity after passing through the quarter-wave plate. In this case, no radiation is observable at the sum-frequency as expected from similar results for third harmonic generation [26]. By rotating the quarter-wave plate by 45 ° , no phase shift is introduced to the passing laser beams, thus linearly polarized VUV radiation is generated.…”

Abstract. The method of angle-and spin-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy has been used in combination with a laser based source of vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) radiation to study the photoionization dynamics of the HI molecule. The narrow bandwidth (3 v < 1 cm-1) of the ionizing VUV radiation (v = 83 200 cm-1 _ 89 300 cm 1) enables the resolution of the molecular rotation for single-photon excitation to spin-orbit autoionization resonances. The experimental results for the dynamical parameters a, A, fl, %, and ~ are compared to the results of a recent ab-initio calculation (M. Biichner, G. Raseev, and N.A. Cherepkov, J. Chem. Phys. 96, 2696 (1992)) and used to analyze the photoionization process in terms of partial contributions of different values of I and 2 to the outgoing electron waves.

“…These experiments were extended by Chang and Galbraith [116] to other solvents of different index mismatch and to another dye, methylene blue. Bey et al [117] reported highly interesting THG studies, which prove that a linearly polarised laser beam generates a third-harmonic signal, while a circularly polarised beam does not, in accordance with theory. This experiment can lead to a variety of applications when determining the state of polarisation of laser light, when modulating it, and when measuring ultrashort light pulses such as those produced by mode-locked lasers.…”

“…Eckardt and Lee [149] worked out a new technique for the measurement of picosecond light pulses applying the suggestions of Bey et al [117] concerning the unique polarisation properties of optical THG in phase-matchable dye solutions. It is generally known that, in materials strongly absorbing the fundamental frequency, the observation of THG is rendered difficult because the required high fundamental intensity I often gives rise to significant damage due to energy deposition.…”

The essential results achieved during the ten years since the coming of lasers, in the fields of second, third and higher harmonic generation in reflected and transmitted, continuous and pulsed laser light, frequency mixing processes in various materials, and nonlinear optical properties of liquids, gases, crystals and other materials are reported concisely from the available literature. Stress is laid on the newer and more stimulating experimental results, and on their relation with other nonlinear phenomena.

We discuss the experimental and theoretical aspects of absorption spectroscopy of cold atomic hydrogen gas in a magnetostatic trap using a pulsed narrow-band source (bandwidth ~100 MHz) at the Lyman-~ wavelength (121.6 nm). A careful analysis of the measured absorption spectra enables us to determine non-destructively the temperature and the density of the trapped gas. The development of this diagnostic technique is important for future attempts to reach BoseEinstein condensation in trapped atomic hydrogen.
