AbstractWe have developed methods of measuring absorption of transient species utilizing both rapid scan and stepped-scan Fourier transform interferometery that allows a combination of broad spectral coverage (10,000 – 15,000 cm-1 per spectrum), good spectral resolution, and the ability to cover temporal ranges from minutes to nanoseconds. A wide range of pump sources are used including continuous, modulated, ns pulsed, and ultrafast lasers. The probe is provided by a broadband, incoherent source providing large spectral information in each experiment. This capability enables investigation of phenomena such as excited state absorption, charge transfer, formation of metastable species, and others. Extension of the technique to the ps realm is underway and will be discussed.

AbstractThe Mn4+ ion has the same d3 electron configuration as Cr3+, but is less stable and can transform to other valence states. Both ions are known to occupy several sites in garnet hosts, giving rise to rather complicated optical spectra and photo-induced phenomena. Here, the spectra of the transient, photo-induced absorption and the emission of Mn4+,:YAG are analyzed over a broad wavelength region (from 450 to 1200nm) and over a wide range of time scales (from ns to minutes). Very large amplitude and extremely broadband excited state absorption are observed. Additionally, a long lifetime, photo-induced species was detected that is likely formed via charge transfer. The demonstrated behavior of this material shows it has potential applications for optical limiting and optical storage.
