Thedata collected is for two cases of probe polarization. The polarization of the probe beamdetermines which features will appear in the probe transmission spectrum. We discuss theappearance of vibrational frequency features and Brillouin frequency features on the probetransmission spectrum as a result of probe polarization. We find that, by not allowing theatoms to thermalize in the lattice, the probe transmission spectrum's vibrational frequencyfeatures for each probe polarization can be made to look identical. Further, we find that theBrillouin features may be interpreted as arising due to a probe-induced ratchet for a specificvelocity class of atoms within the lattice. 2018-08-10 English text Miami University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=miami1533338035196042 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=miami1533338035196042 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
