Lein<br/>We develop the strong-field approximation for high-order harmonic generation in hydrogen molecules, including the vibrational motion and the laser-induced coupling of the lowest two Born-Oppenheimer states in the molecular ion that is created by the initial ionization of the molecule. We show that t...<br/>[Phys. Rev. A 77, 043403] Published Thu Apr 03, 2008 C. C. Chirilă and M.

Shiddiq, E. M. Ahmed, M. D. Havey, and C. I. Sukenik<br/>We have investigated the behavior of an optical dipole force trap realized using a mode-locked Nd:YAG laser and have compared performance to a continuous-wave (cw) trap built using the same laser but running in a cw mode. The traps are used to confine ultracold ^{85} Rb atoms which are loaded from a...<br/>[Phys. Rev. A 77, 045401] Published Wed Apr 02, 2008 M. Shiddiq, E. M. Ahmed, M. D. Havey, and C. I.

Silbey<br/>The local electric field enhancement generated by radiating fluorophores near a metallic surface results in lifetime variations observable at the single molecule level. Image theory, for dipoles located above flat surfaces, accounts for the results of ensemble experiments and is extensively used to ...<br/>[Phys. Rev.
