Symmetry properties in the study of the Rayleigh-type optical mixing signal in presence of a thermal bath

Abstract:

In this work are studied the symmetry properties of the Rayleigh-type optical mixing signal of a two-level molecular system immersed in a thermal bath and irradiated by a classical electromagnetic field. The solvent induces a random shift of the Bohr frequency in the molecular system. A methodology based in cumulant expansions is employed to obtain the average of the coherences, populations, and susceptibilities of Fourier components associated, calculated by the optical stochastic Bloch equations. These symmetry properties show the dependence of the measured spectra with the variations in the frequencies of the incident fields. Our results show that the inclusion of the thermal bath diminishes the intensity response as well it promotes the loss of the symmetry properties, compared with the same results in the absence of the bath. © World Scientific Publishing Company.
