Journal ArticleDOI
Rotational state populations and angular distributions on surface scattered molecules: No on graphite
TL;DR: In this paper, the rotational state populations and angular distributions of NO molecules were determined after the scattering of a supersonic beam from a graphite surface at different surface temperatures.
Journal ArticleDOI
Above-Threshold Ionization at the Few-Cycle Limit
F. Grasbon,Gerhard G. Paulus,Herbert Walther,Paolo Villoresi,Giuseppe Sansone,Salvatore Stagira,Mauro Nisoli,S. De Silvestri +7 more
TL;DR: Photoelectron spectra measured for rare-gas atoms ionized with intense few-cycle laser pulses are presented and the persistence of the plateaulike structure of spectra for high electron energies is shown.
Journal ArticleDOI
Preparation of a pure number state and measurement of the photon statistics in a high-Q micromaser.
Joachim Krause,Marlan O. Scully,Marlan O. Scully,Thomas Walther,Herbert Walther,Herbert Walther +5 more
TL;DR: Two schemes to prepare pure number states in a high-Q micromaser with Rydberg atoms are proposed and it is shown how the photon statistics in themicromaser in general can be probed via the outgoing atoms.
Journal ArticleDOI
Quantum theory of the micromaser: Symmetry breaking via off-diagonal atomic injection.
TL;DR: An experiment in which atoms in a coherent superposition of atomic states are injected into a high-Q maser cavity is proposed and it is shown that the symmetry of the field in the cavity is ``broken'' in the same way as results from a classical signal injecting into a laser cavity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Microwave excitation of Rydberg atoms in the presence of noise.
Reinhold Blümel,Robert Graham,Leszek Sirko,Leszek Sirko,Uzy Smilansky,Herbert Walther,Herbert Walther,Koji Yamada,Koji Yamada +8 more
TL;DR: A master equation containing the coherent field exactly is derived, revealing the presence of four universal dynamical regimes and a transition, induced by the noise, in which coherence and localization are destroyed.
