  • Optical vortex induced spatio-temporally modulated superconductivity in a ▫$high-T_c$▫ cuprate
    Toda, Yasunori ...
    We report an experimental approach to produce spatially localized photoinduced superconducting state in a cuprate superconductor using optical vortices with ultrafast pulses. The measurements were ... carried out using coaxially aligned three-pulse time-resolved spectroscopy, in which an intense vortex pulse was used for coherent quenching of superconductivity and the resulting spatially modulated metastable states were analyzed by the pump-probe spectroscopy. The transient response after quenching shows a spatially localized superconducting state that remains unquenched at the dark core of the vortex beam for a few picoseconds. Because the quenching is instantaneously driven by photoexcited quasiparticles, the vortex beam profile can be transferred directly to the electron system. By using the optical vortex-induced superconductor, we demonstrate spatially resolved imaging of the superconducting response and show that the spatial resolution can be improved using the same principle as that of super-resolution microscopy for fluorescent molecules. The demonstration of spatially controlled photoinduced superconductivity is significant for establishing a new method for exploring novel photoinduced phenomena and applications in ultrafast optical devices.
