摘要
A novel coherent Raman effect induced by a laser and a radio-frequency (rf) field is used to detect cw and pulsed nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) in ground and excited electronic states. The effect is illustrated in the impurity-ion solid ${\mathrm{Pr}}^{3+}$: La${\mathrm{F}}_{3}$ at 1.6 K utilizing the ${\mathrm{Pr}}^{3+}$ optical transition $^{3}H_{4}({\ensuremath{\Gamma}}_{1})\ensuremath{\rightarrow}^{1}D_{2}({\ensuremath{\Gamma}}_{1})$. The laser field of frequency ${\ensuremath{\omega}}_{E}$ and the rf field (${\ensuremath{\omega}}_{H}$) induce a light wave at the sum ${\ensuremath{\omega}}_{E}+{\ensuremath{\omega}}_{H}$ (anti-Stokes) and difference ${\ensuremath{\omega}}_{E}\ensuremath{-}{\ensuremath{\omega}}_{H}$ (Stokes) frequencies, generating an absorptive or dispersive heterodyne beat signal (${\ensuremath{\omega}}_{H}$) with the laser field at a photodetector. The theory of this effect is characterized in a new three-level perturbation calculation which requires, unlike the usual stimulated Raman effect, that all three transitions be electric- or magnetic-dipole allowed. Detailed predictions are confirmed by cw measurements of the ${\mathrm{Pr}}^{3+}$: La${\mathrm{F}}_{3}$ hyperfine splittings where the optical heterodyne signals are shot-noise limited. The ${\mathrm{Pr}}^{3+}$ nuclear quadrupole parameters are obtained for the $^{3}H_{4}$ and $^{1}D_{2}$ states where the line centers are determined with kilohertz precision. The corresponding wave functions show significant hyperfine-state mixing, as required for all three transitions to be dipole allowed. The cw line shapes are narrow (30-160 kHz), inhomogeneously broadened by nuclear magnetic interactions, and reveal either a Gaussian or an anomalous second-derivative---like line shape. The spin-echo measurements for the $^{3}H_{4}$ and $^{1}D_{2}$ hyperfine transitions yield homogeneous line shapes which are Lorentzian, and rather surprisingly, linewidths in the narrow range 10-20 kHz, a result which tests current line-broadening theories.
