反冲和下抽运效应对大气中间层钠原子激发与辐射的影响

高亮度的激光钠信标有利于提高自适应光学波前探测的准确性和灵敏度,但是在激光与钠原子作用的过程中,反冲和下抽运限制了钠原子激发态概率的增长,减小了钠原子的自发辐射速率和回波光子数。通过对窄带/宽带激光与钠原子作用产生反冲和下抽运效应的研究,结果表明:对于低能量的连续激光与大气中间层钠层作用,窄带激光反冲和下抽运效应比宽带激光严重,但是自发辐射速率比宽带激光大很多,获得的回波光子数明显多于宽带激光;对于宽带激光,其激发的回波光子数较少,但是具有不易饱和、反冲效应小的优点。

Cavity linewidth narrowing and broadening due to competing linear and nonlinear dispersions

We experimentally demonstrate cavity linewidth control by manipulating dispersion of the intracavity medium. By making use of the dramatic change of Kerr nonlinearity near electromagnetically induced transparency resonance in a three-level atomic system, the cavity transmission linewidth can be greatly modified. As the cavity input intensity increases, the cavity linewidth changes from below to above empty cavity linewidth, corresponding to subluminal and superluminal photon propagation in the cavity, respectively.     

Photon echo under two-quantum excitation of superradiance in a cavity

The superradiance, photon echo, and coherence transformation in three-level cascade-type atoms have been theoretically investigated for the case where the frequency of an optically allowed transition from the upper level coincides with the cavity frequency.     

Vacuum-stimulated raman scattering based on adiabatic passage in a high-finesse optical cavity

We report on the first observation of stimulated Raman scattering from a Lambda-type three-level atom, where the stimulation is realized by the vacuum field of a high-finesse optical cavity. The scheme produces one intracavity photon by means of an adiabatic passage technique based on a counterintuitive interaction sequence between pump laser and cavity field. This photon leaves the cavity through the less-reflecting mirror. The emission rate shows a characteristic dependence on the cavity and pump detuning, and the observed spectra have a subnatural linewidth. The results are in excellent agreement with numerical simulations.

Exceptionally narrow homogeneous linewidth in erbium-doped glasses

We show that rare-earth (RE-) doped glasses can have homogeneous linewidths as narrow as 287 kHz at (4)He temperatures. This is far narrower than others reported in glasses in the same temperature range and is suitable for precise spectral hole burning and spatial-spectral holographic applications. It is known that cw spectral hole burning linewidth measurements of RE ions in glasses are hindered by the presence of spectral diffusion but, even in glasses, application of a magnetic field can freeze out RE spin-spin interactions responsible for spectral diffusion and isolate the remaining contribution of two-level systems (TLSs). The Er(3+):2G2S glasses have unusually low TLS contributions, making it possible to study the real homogeneous linewidth using photon echo measurements. The contribution from TLSs is only 170 T(1.3) kHz when subjected to a field of 5 T.     

Control of Stimulated Photon-Echo Response Time in a Three-Level System by Changing the Relative Orientation of the External Electric-Field Gradients

We investigate the formation of stimulated photon echo in a three-level system in the presence of spatially inhomogeneous external electric fields. We show the possibility of controlling stimulated photon-echo response time in the nano-temporal range.     

The effect of uncorrelatedness of inhomogeneous broadening on the formation of transient optical processes in multilevel systems

The correlation of inhomogeneous broadening at various frequency transitions in three-level systems is investigated, as is its effect on the intensity of a stimulated photon echo. It is shown that the correlation coefficient of inhomogeneous broadening at two different transitions and the response intensity of the stimulated photon echo depend on the parameter of the random interaction of an optical electron with a local field, as well as on the distribution width of additional frequency shifts owing to a partial fixation of transition energies. In this case, an insignificant variation of the correlation coefficient results in a considerable decrease in the response intensity.     

Femtosecond magnito-optics based on photon echoes

A textured three-layer ZnO/Si(P)/Si(B) film in an uniform longitudinal magnetic field with a stregth of 0.4 T exhibits the effect of the polarization plane’s rotation from a stimulated photon echo signal formed at room temperature on the exciton states. At time interval τ₁₂ set to zero and time interval τ₂₃ = 720 and 900 fs, the angles of rotation are 27° and 19°, respectively.     

Theory of single-photon echo (SP-echo) and thepossibility of its experimental study in the gamma-region

The single-photon echo (SP-echo) effect is predicted to appear in the case of three-level medium excitation by means of a single photon propagating to the medium along two optical paths with a mutual time delay surpassing the temporal duration of the photon wave packet. The quantum electrodynamical theory describing this interaction is presented and the S-matrix of the field is shown for infinite time (t=∞). Using the S-matrix approach, physical properties of the scattering field are studied. Hence, it is shown that the field has an echo signal at the ω ₃₂ ⁰ carrier frequency. It has been shown that the echo signal exists only in the field amplitude while being absent in its intensity behaviour. Thus, SP-echo is an interference effect and is not influenced by the energy irradiation. The problems of SP-echo detection in the gamma-region (where special generation difficulties appear) are discussed. The influence of the additional detection of theω ₂₁ ⁰ frequency field on the echo signal has been shown. A special case is the EPR-paradox which can appear within the echo phenomenon.
