Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We have succeeded to demonstrate the absorption imaging for trapped 1s paraexcitons in cuprous oxide at 7 K using the excitonic Lyman specrsocopy. This is the first observation of the absorption image in exciton systems in general. that probes 1s paraexcitons via the 1s-2p transition. We have developed a theory that describes the frequency shift of the excitonic internal transitions in a strain-induced trap, and we have compared the numerical results with our experiment. We also extended this experimental method in the mid-infrared to our dilution refrigerator, where we have successfully observed the absorption image of a quantum degenerate exciton gas at around 100 mK. In addition, we have developed two mode-locked femtosecond lasers and controlled them to be ultrafine optical frequency combs. This is the first step towards fine spectroscopy of solids using femtosecond frequency combs.
