The effects of solvents on the conformation of hemin leading to ultrafast libration process have been probed using the time-resolved optical Kerr effect (OKE) with 35 fs laser pulses (at a central wavelength of 800 nm).

AbstractAlthough photonics presents the fastest and most energy-efficient method of data transfer, magnetism still offers the cheapest and most natural way to store data. The ultrafast and energy-efficient optical control of magnetism is presently a missing technological link that prevents us from reaching the next evolution in information processing. The discovery of all-optical magnetization reversal in GdFeCo with the help of 100 fs laser pulses has further aroused intense interest in this compelling problem. Although the applicability of this approach to high-speed data processing depends vitally on the maximum repetition rate of the switching, the latter remains virtually unknown. Here we experimentally unveil the ultimate frequency of repetitive all-optical magnetization reversal through time-resolved studies of the dual-shot magnetization dynamics in Gd27Fe63.87Co9.13. Varying the intensities of the shots and the shot-to-shot separation, we reveal the conditions for ultrafast writing and the fastest possible restoration of magnetic bits. It is shown that although magnetic writing launched by the first shot is completed after 100 ps, a reliable rewriting of the bit by the second shot requires separating the shots by at least 300 ps. Using two shots partially overlapping in space and minimally separated by 300 ps, we demonstrate an approach for GHz magnetic writing that can be scaled down to sizes below the diffraction limit.

AbstractA series of polybenzonitrile derivatives, prepared by plasma glow discharge processes or chemical polymerization, were characterized by FT-IR, UV-Vis, GPC and VPO etc. The secondorder nonlinear optical hyperpolarizability γ of various benzonitrile monomers and their, polymers were measured by the femtosecond time-resolved optical Kerr effect technique, and the structureproperty relationships were discussed. The power law dependence of γ on the averagepolymerization- degree of several polybenzonitrile derivatives were also reported.
