Theory of laser-induced phenomena on conventional and phase-conjugated surfaces

International Reviews in Physical Chemistry

“…The primary subject of this section will be to discuss the third process, namely, we shall try to account for the observations of Brueck and0' . These results are more fully described in Jeiski and George--(1987). Put briefly, the laser, in this case weak so as to minimize surface heating, causes a resonant plasmon due to coupling with the surface roughness.…”

“…We have begun our first attempt to reinvestigate the above processes on a phase-conjugated surface, replacing the ordinary substrate metallic surface by an optically nonlinear substrate such as GaAs(1lO). Some interesting preliminary results have been obtained with respect to the linewidth and lifetimes for molecules near such conjugated surfaces (Lin et al, 1987).…”
