Outline of Final Research Achievements |
By utilizing the selectivity of optical vortices with unique chiral spatial modes, we have newly developed 1) spatial phase modulation spectroscopy for semiconductor surface emitting lasers and 2) coaxial three-pulse time-resolved spectroscopy for cuprate high-Tc superconductors. In case 1), chirality-selective optical vortex generations were realized by spatial mode conversion based on the geometrical phase of the resonator. In case 2), by spatial scanning the dark spots in the optical vortices, we have achieved spatio-temporal control of transient superconductivity localized at the vortices and revealed the spatial characteristics of the optical response of high-Tc superconductors.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
らせん状の波面を持つ光渦は、その特異的な空間モードカイラリティにもとづいて複数光波を分離したり重ね合わせたりできる。本研究ではそのような光渦の空間特性を時間分解分光に活用し、従来は不可能であった空間位相変調や時間変調、特異点走査を半導体レーザーおよび高温超伝導体に対して実現した。得られた成果はデバイス機能開拓や物性探索に対する光波の空間モードカイラリティ利用の有効性を示しており、光源開発やイメージング、ナノデバイス応用につながる。
