In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are some embodiments, but not all embodiments, of the present invention. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
Fig. 1 is a time-resolved measurement apparatus for generating second harmonic of material surface state according to an embodiment of the present invention, referring to fig. 1, the apparatus includes: a reflectance spectrum system 17 and a computer 16;
the reflection spectrum system 17 is used for separating and obtaining a second harmonic signal and a reflection signal with the same frequency as the detection light from the reflection spectrum; wherein, the reflection spectrum is output to the reflection spectrum system 17 after the time-resolved ultrafast pump detection spectrometer 18 irradiates the material with the centrosymmetric crystal structure by the detection light.
Specifically, the time-resolved ultrafast pump detection spectrometer 18 is based on the ultrafast pump-detection time-resolved technique, and outputs the obtained reflectance spectrum to the reflectance spectrum system 17 after irradiating a sample having a centrosymmetric crystal structure material with detection light. Wherein the near infrared detection light in the time-resolved ultrafast pump detection spectrometer 18 interacts with a sample of high-temperature superconducting material with a centrosymmetric crystal structure, and due to the non-centrosymmetry of the surface state structure of the sample, the second-order nonlinear polarizability tensor χ of the surface state(2)Not equal to 0, and second harmonic information is generated. Therefore, the reflection spectrum system 17 can separate and obtain the second harmonic signal and the reflection signal having the same frequency as the detection light from the reflection spectrum. Wherein, there is a center pairA sample of the material with the crystal structure is called as a strongly-associated bulk material with a flat and smooth surface and good reflectivity.
The computer 16 is used for processing the reflection signal and the second harmonic signal with the same frequency to obtain a dynamic process of the material with the centrosymmetric crystal structure; the reflection signals with the same frequency are used for reflecting the volume state characteristics of the material, and the second harmonic signals are used for reflecting the surface state characteristics of the material.
Specifically, the ultrafast laser applied in the time-resolved ultrafast pump detection spectrometer 18 is in a near-infrared band, and the penetration depth in the material is in a micron order; thus, on the one hand, the interaction information carried by the co-frequency reflected light is mainly determined by the bulk structure of the material having a centrosymmetric crystal structure. On the other hand, the interaction information carried by the second harmonic signal is entirely determined by the surface state structure. By combining the two aspects, the body state characteristics can be reflected by utilizing the reflection signals with the same frequency, the surface state characteristics can be reflected by utilizing the second harmonic signals, and the like, so that the dynamic processes of various interactions of the material with the centrosymmetric crystal structure can be researched, the dynamic processes of various coupling actions can be known through ultrafast time-resolved spectral measurement, and the transient properties of the interactions in the surface state and the body state can be distinguished. Therefore, based on the above principle, the computer 16 can process the reflected signal and the second harmonic signal with the same frequency to obtain the dynamic process of the material with the centrosymmetric crystal structure.
According to the time-resolved measurement device for generating the material surface state second harmonic, disclosed by the embodiment of the invention, the dynamic processes of various interactions of the material with the centrosymmetric crystal structure can be researched or observed by using the principles of reflecting the material bulk state characteristics by using the reflection signals with the same frequency, reflecting the material surface state characteristics by using the second harmonic signals and the like, and the relaxation processes of the interactions between electrons and the respective degrees of freedom in the time domain are observed.

In particular, the reflectance spectroscopy system 17 is used to separate the second harmonic, detect the second harmonic, and the light of the same frequency. After the beam splitter prism 11 separates and obtains the reflection signal and the second harmonic signal with the same frequency, the reflection signal with the same frequency is input to the infrared detector 13 (that is, the infrared detector 13 receives the transient reflectivity signal of the near infrared on the surface of the sample 9), and the infrared detector 13 further outputs the reflection signal with the same frequency to the computer 16. The second harmonic signal passes through the polarizer 12 and the photomultiplier 14 in sequence, and the photomultiplier 14 collects and detects the second harmonic signal and further outputs the second harmonic signal to the computer 16.
