Ultrafast decay of optical phonons has been studied in wide-bandgap BaSnO and SrTiO perovskites using nonlinear spectroscopy with 120 femtosecond time resolution. The coherent Raman mode excitations have been selected and traced with tunable optical pulses. Decay of symmetry forbidden modes of vibrations have been detected directly in time. Phonon decay rates for the main LO- and TO- phonon modes have been found to be within 1.36-1.78 ps and are explained in terms of parametric phonon interactions and pure dephasing mechanisms in the materials that are of interest in microelectronic applications.

Time-resolved coherent Raman spectroscopy (CRS) is a powerful non-linear optical technique for quantitative, in-situ analysis of chemically reacting flows, offering unparalleled accuracy and exceptional spatiotemporal resolution. Its application to large polyatomic molecules, crucial for understanding reaction dynamics, has thus far been limited by the complexity of their rotational-vibrational Raman spectra. Progress in developing comprehensive spectral codes for these molecules, a longstanding goal, has been hindered by prohibitively long computation times required for their spectral synthesis.

Quantum path interferences occur whenever multiple equivalent and coherent transitions result in a common final state. Such interferences strongly modify the probability of a particle to be found in that final state, a key concept of quantum coherent control. When multiple nonlinear and energy-degenerate transitions occur in a system, the multitude of possible quantum path interferences is hard to disentangle experimentally.

Hall effect thrusters (HETs) are typically regarded as DC electric propulsion devices as they are operated with isolated DC power supplies. However, it is well known that the HET's discharge current possesses oscillations of varying magnitudes and frequencies and is thus a function of time with AC characteristics. The observed oscillations are caused by plasma processes associated with ion, electron, and neutral particle dynamics that occur inside the HET's discharge channel and in the plume as the HET electrically interacts with its local operating environment.

The significance of ultrafast laser-induced energy and mass transfer at interfaces has been growing in the field of nanoscience and technology. Nevertheless, the complexity arising from non-linear and non-equilibrium optical-thermal-mechanical interactions results in intricate transitional behaviors. This complexity presents challenges when attempting to analyze these phenomena exclusively through modeling or experimentation.

This study employs a combination of spectroscopic techniques, including absorption, photoluminescence (PL), time-resolved PL kinetics, and transient absorption measurements, to elucidate the dynamics of excited states of oleic acid (OA)-capped colloidal PbS quantum dots (QDs) in toluene with a mean size of approximately 3 nm. PL decay profiles were properly treated employing either fitting or fitting-free models to extract average decay lifetimes and lifetime distributions. Our findings highlight the profound impact of factors such as particle concentration, size, surface treatment, and the surrounding environment on the optical properties of PbS QDs.
