Tunable sub-angstrom radiation generated by anti-Stokes scattering from nuclear levels
Abstract
Anti-Stokes scattering from nuclear levels has been used to generate tunable sum and difference frequency sidebands on the hyperfine components of the Moessbauer transition of Fe-57 of 0.086 nm. The transition energy of the sidebands was found to be tuned over five linewidths by varying the radiofrequency component of the sum. A model of coherently excited nuclear states is proposed to explain the experimental results. The multiphoton nature of the generation process was confirmed. A schematic drawing of the experimental setup is provided.
