开放的非共振梯型无粒子数反转激光系统非线性增益与色散的研究

本文给出了开放的非共振ladder型三能级无粒子数反转激光系统的非线性精确解,利用数值计算结果讨论了系统各参量的变化对激光场的增益和色散的影响.作者得到以下结论:当探测激光场和驱动场都共振时,无论其他参量如何变化,色散为零.当仅有探测场失谐(驱动场失谐)时,增益和色散随探测场失谐(驱动场失谐)的变化曲线分别具有偶对称性和中心对称性,当探测场和驱动场皆失谐时,这种对称性消失;适当调节探测激光场或(和)驱动场的失谐可获得最大或较大的无粒子数反转激光增益和无吸收高色散.增益和色散(粒子数差绝对值)随原子注入速率之比的增加单调增加(单调减小),且原子退出速率越大增加(减小)得越快.在探测场和驱动场适当失谐的情况下,保持系统其他参量不变,非相干泵浦速率只有在一定范围内取值时,才能获得无粒子数反转激光增益,并存在一个增益极大值.改变探测场或驱动场Rabi频率对无粒子数反转激光增益的影响与非相干泵浦速率改变时的情况类似.     

循环跃迁的Δ 型三能级系统中的无反转激光

研究了在引入非相干抽运的情况下,循环跃迁的Δ型共振三能级系统中产生的无反转激光.利用主方程的方法, 导出了缀饰态中强相干场极限下布居数项和相干项的稳态近似解析解以及产生无反转激光所需要满足的条件;并利用数值模拟的方法讨论了布居数分布、 系统增益对探测场和相干场拉比频率的依赖性以及随时间的演化规律. 结果表明:无论各个参量取何值,共振Δ型三能级系统总是处于无粒子数反转的状态; 只要探测场或相干场之中有一个为强场,便可产生无反转激光; 当其中任意一个场远强于另一个场时,系统的无反转增益将不再依赖于任何一个场的拉比频率.     

非相干泵浦对原子系统位相相关吸收性质的影响

研究发现在具有真空诱导相干性的开放和封闭ladder 型原子系统中,探测场和驱动场之间相对位相对吸收性质有重要的调制作用,同时非相干泵浦对位相相关的吸收性质有显著的影响.在这两种系统中,通过调节非相干泵浦,可以实现从吸收到增益和从粒子数反转激光到无粒子数反转激光的转化,并可获得最大的无反转激光增益.但是,当非相干泵浦不存在时,对相对位相的任意值,在封闭系统中只出现吸收而不能得到无反转激光增益;然而在开放系统中,对于适当的相对位相值甚至可以产生比有非相干泵浦时更大的无反转激光增益.     

光场的线宽对无粒子数反转光放大增益的影响

针对拉曼驱动场下的四能级理论模型，讨论了实现无吸收、高折射率的条件，并分析了探测场及相干激发场的线宽对介质的折射率及增益的影响。计算结果表明，改变相干激发场 场强，或改变相干场的频率与原子能级间的失谐均可获得介质的无吸收，高折射率。激发扬线宽破坏了原子的相干性，使使介质的增闪下降并改变了折射率的大小，探测场的线宽使介质的探测增益谱及折射率谱的分辨率下降。

低频强场作用下三维光子晶体中二能级原子的自发辐射性质

研究了处于三维光子晶体中，且在强相干的低频场的驱动下的单个二能级原子的自发辐射性质.由于低频场的影响，使得原子产生了在跃迁过程中吸收或发射一个低频光子的衰减渠道.这些跃迁导致了自发辐射的量子干涉，再加上光子晶体能带带边的作用，自发辐射被显著抑制.原子的布居俘获依赖于原子上能级与能带带边的相对位置，低频场的频率和原子不同跃迁通道间的相对跃迁强度. 关键词： 光子晶体 二能级原子 自发辐射

Laser without inversion driven by short pulse

Lasing without population inversion in a three-level atomic system driven by a short pulse is considered. In the case of adiabatic interaction, the gain at a laser transition is shown to be caused by a simple mechanism associated with the fact that the driving field creates an unoccupied lower laser level. As a result, the system operates as a standard two-level laser. To control the population of the upper laser level, various schemes of incoherent pumping of this state are analyzed. The example of sodium vapors is considered. An important application of the method under study to metal vapor lasers is discussed.     

Exciton-population inversion and terahertz gain in semiconductors excited to resonance

The buildup of exciton populations in resonantly laser excited semiconductors is studied microscopically. For excitation around the 2s-exciton resonance, it is shown that polarization with a strict s-type radial symmetry can be efficiently converted into an incoherent p-type population. As a consequence, inversion between the 2p and 1s exciton states can be obtained leading to the appearance of significant terahertz gain.     

Effects of relative phase on transient evolution in an open resonant ladder-type atomic system

In an open ladder-type resonant atomic system, variation in relative phase between probe and driving fields does not affect the transient evolution of populations, but it has remarkable effects on gain and dispersion of the probe field. No matter whether an incoherent pump is present or absent, transient and stationary gains without inversion (GWI) always can be obtained by choosing an appropriate value of the relative phase. When the incoherent pump is absent,the values of transient and stationary GWIs are much larger and the time interval required to reach the stationary value is longer than those when the incoherent pump is present. Varying the exit rate and the ratio between injection rates can obviously change the phase-dependent GWI. In addition, in the transient evolution process, the phenomenon of high dispersion (refractive index) without absorption occurs at some values of relative phase. In the corresponding closed system, the stationary GWI can be obtained by choosing an appropriate value of relative phase only when incoherent pump exists, moreover the gain is smaller than that in the open system.     

Quantum interference effects on the probe amplification without and with inversion in a four-level system

A four-level system driven by two coherent fields is considered. It is shown that in the presence of an incoherent pump, the probe gain at a short wavelength can be achieved due to the quantum interference. Our density matrix calculation provides the conditions for probe amplification from different origins, including gain without population inversion on any state basis, gain with population inversion on the dressed-state basis, and gain with population inversion on the bare-state basis. Also, by controlling the Rabi frequency of the coupling field a total change from non-inversion to inversion can be achieved which does not depend on the intensity of the incoherent pump.

Probe Amplification with or without Population Inversion in a Five-Level Atomic System with Double-Dark Resonances

We theoreticMly investigate the response of the probe amplification in a five-level atomlc system m the presence of interacting double-dark resonances disturbed by introducing an additional signal field. It is found that a large enhancement of the probe amplification with or without population inversion can be achieved by properly adjusting the strengths of the microwave driving field and the signal laser field. From viewpoint of physics, we qualitatively explain these results in terms of quantum interference and dressed states.     

Gain without population inversion in a two-level atom damped by a broadband squeezed vacuum

We study the absorption spectrum of a two-level atom driven by a resonant laser field and damped by a broadband squeezed vacuum. We show that for some values of the Rabi frequency of the driving field the central component of the absorption spectrum can switch from absorption to amplification. We find that the presence of the squeezed vacuum field is essential for the gain at the central component. Moreover, the gain is not attributed to any population inversion in both the atomic bare states and in the dressed atomic states. We show that the gain originates from the coherent population oscillations, which are significantly enhanced when the atom is damped by a broadband squeezed vacuum.     

The Effect of Incoherent Population Pumping on Squeezing in Resonance Fluorescence

The effect of incoherent population pumping on the steady-state population inversion and the quadrature squeezing spectra produced in the resonance fluorescence of a two-level atom is investigated. In the presence of incoherent population pumping, the steady-state population inversion is increased for small frequency detuning but is not changed for large frequency detuning. For resonant excitation at low intensities, the weak incoherent pumping degrades the degree of the squeezing and shifts the position of the maximum squeezing; for off-resonant excitation at strong intensities, the weak incoherent pumping hardly changes the squeezing spectra. But when the incoherent pumping is strong the squeezing may be completely destroyed for both cases.
