We demonstrate a new, to the best of our knowledge, method of generating mid-infrared pulses by difference frequency mixing the Stokes pulse generated by four-wave mixing in a photonic crystal fiber with the remaining pump pulse. The Stokes pulses generated by four-wave mixing are inherently overlapped temporally and spatially with the pump pulse at the output of the fiber. Focusing this output into a nonlinear crystal phase matched for difference frequency generation between the pump and Stokes pulses results in a simple method of generating mid-infrared pulses. With a pump source at 1.064 µm, and a photonic crystal fiber engineered to generate Stokes pulses at approximately 1.65 µm, we generate 160 mW of mid-infrared light at approximately 3 µm through difference frequency generation.

We report photon-phonon dressing quantization dependency on polarization. Destructive dressing polarization quantization is exhibited in fluorescence (FL) for narrowband signals, while constructive dominant dressing quantization is exhibited in fluorescence (FL) for broadband signals due to phase perturbation. Furthermore, constructive polarization quantization results due to coexistence of generation and dressing effects in strong and competitive Rabi frequency.

Few longitudinal studies have examined the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on personal behaviors. This study investigated changes in four social behaviors among the Japanese public during and after the COVID-19 pandemic, using four-wave longitudinal data (2020-2023) from the Japan COVID-19 and Society Internet Survey (JACSIS). In total, 8622 respondents continuously participated in the surveys.

The O-H vibration peak from water is replaced by the emergence of the -NH symmetric stretching Raman peaks from 3AP, with intensity approaching that of the -CH symmetric stretching peak. The dual-wavelength SRS signals for the -NH and -CH stretching vibrations have a relatively small frequency interval of about 400 cm (16 nm).

Leveraging the unique properties of quantum entanglement, quantum entanglement distribution networks support multiple quantum information applications and are essential to the development of quantum networks. However, practical implementation poses fundamental challenges to network scalability and flexibility. Here, we propose a reconfigurable entanglement distribution network scheme based on tunable multipump excitation of a spontaneous four-wave mixing (SFWM) source and a time-sharing method.

In molecular beam scattering experiments, an important technique for measuring product energy and angular distributions is velocity map imaging following photoionization of one or more scattered species. For studies with cold molecular beams, the ultimate resolution of such a study is often limited by the product detection process. When state-selective ionization detection is used, excess energy from the ionization step can transfer to kinetic energy in the target molecular ion-electron pair, resulting in measurable cation recoil.
