We demonstrate angle-resolved coherent (ARC) wave mixing using 4 fs light pulses derived from a laser source that spans 550-1000 nm. We believe this to be the shortest pulse duration used to date in coherent multi-dimensional spectroscopy. The marriage of this ultra-broad band, few-cycle coherent source with the ARC technique will permit new investigations of the interplay between energy transfers and quantum superposition states spanning 8200 cm. We applied this configuration to measurements on the photosynthetic low light (LL) complex from Rhodopseudomonas palustris in solution at ambient temperature. We observe bi-exponential population dynamics for energy transfer across 5500 cm (0.65 eV), which we attribute to energy transfer from the Q transition of bacteriochlorophylls to the B850 pigment of the complex. We believe for the first time, to the best of our knowledge, we demonstrate that ARC maps can be recorded using a single laser pulse.

We propose a directionality orthogonal double-slit interferometry to control photoelectron dynamics in energy- and angle-resolved fashion. The two orthogonal components of polarization-skewed (PS) laser pulse, in which the total polarization vector rotates as time evolves, can be regarded as the double-slit in the time domain. Our results demonstrate that the peak splitting and shift in photoelectron momentum distributions can be controlled by the relative optical phase between two components of the PS pulse.

Our results reveal significant angular sensitivity of both the channel-resolved ionization probabilities and the effects of laser-induced channel couplings. By applying a linearly polarized two-color field scheme, we demonstrate the ability to significantly modify the strength of the laser-induced coupling, evidenced by the changes in the population distributions among the ionic states induced by the strong-field ionization.

Analogous to the condensation of Cooper pairs in superconductors, the Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) of electron-hole pairs in semiconductors and semimetals leads to an emergence of an exotic ground state - the excitonic insulator state. In this paper, we study the electronic structure of 1T-TiSe utilizing angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy and alkali-metal deposition. Alkali-metal adatoms are deposited in-situ on the sample surface, doping the system with electrons.

Article Synopsis
- - This study presents a novel technique for generating dual-mode vortex lasing with a topological charge of -2 using specially designed photonic crystals that support certain bound states.
- - The researchers created a hexagonal pattern of TiO nanoparticles in a crystal slab to achieve these bound states at a specific point (the Γ point), while adjusting the shape of the crystal led to lasing occurring at off-Γ points, producing two closely spaced laser peaks.
- - The characteristics of the lasing include a coherence time of approximately 1.4 picoseconds with pulsed pumping, and polarizing measurements show that the two lasing peaks are orthogonally polarized.

Van der Waals heterostructures have great potential for realizing ultimately low thermal conductivity because defectless interfaces can be constructed at a length scale smaller than the phonon wavelength, allowing modulation of coherent phonon transport. In this Letter, we demonstrate the mechanism for thermal conductivity reduction at a mode-resolved level. The graphene-WS heterostructure with the lowest cross-plane thermal conductivity of 0.
