Abstract:

We have studied the picosecond-dynamics of optically pumped hexagonal LuMnO3 using ultrafast x-ray diffraction. Experimental data are compared with a simulation based on dynamical diffraction theory modified to account for the hexagonal structure of LuMnO3. © 2003 Optical Society of America.

Abstract:

It has recently been proposed that X-rays can be switched on sub-picosecond time-scales by using laser-generated coherent optical phonons: The so called phonon Bragg switch. We present here detailed simulations of the efficiency of such a switch by solving the time-dependent generalized Takagi-Taupin equations utilizing a perturbative approach. We explore the switching efficiency in diffraction from the (004) planes of GaAs as a function of both excited phonon wave vector and amplitude. © 2005 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
