In an \(F_{e}=0\,\leftrightarrow \,F_{g}=1\) transition, which interacting with a weak \(\pi \) -polarized probe field and a strong \(\sigma \) -polarized coupling field, we obtain the controlled beating signals depending on the applied magnetic field. In this configuration, we devise a procedure of light storage and retrieval where the magnetic field is switched off in the storage stage, but the magnetic field is switched on in the retrieval stage. Therefore, the beating signals is generated in the retrieval stage, which exhibits a series of maxima and minima in intensity. In addition, we can obtain two fast optical precursors and slow beating singals when the incident probe field is a squared pulse. 相似文献

We theoretically examine the storage and retrieval of a light pulse in a medium comprised of four-level atoms of the V − Λ-type. The two intermediate levels are probed by a weak field and vacuum-induced coherence effects lead the system to transparency. The temporal variation of the intermediate levels' splitting is used as an external parameter which allows the transfer of the impinging field to a combination of spin coherences. An auxiliary and far-detuned control field in a standing-wave configuration is used to induce a variable photonic bandgap by cross-phase modulation. It is shown that dynamic control of such a bandgap can be used to coherently manipulate the previously stored probe pulse. We use a general scheme to take into account multiwave mixing effects and solve the combined Maxwell-Bloch equations for the relevant coherences. It is shown that the system acts as an all-optical router. 相似文献

We investigate the transient behaviors of the dispersion and the absorption in a three-level GaAs/AlGaAs semiconductor quantum well system. It is found that the Fano interference and the energy splitting affect the transient behaviors dramatically, which can be used to manipulate efficiently the gain-absorption coefficient and group velocity of the probe field. The dependence of transient electron population on the Fano interference and the energy splitting is also discussed. 相似文献

We propose an all-optical switch that utilizes the technique of storage and retrieval of light pulses. A single photon (probe pulse) switched by another (switching pulse) is feasible, and the on-off ratio can be as large as 10 dB. We have experimentally demonstrated that the energy of the retrieved probe pulse is reduced to about 10% because of the presence of a switching pulse with an energy per unit area of one photon per lambda(2)/(2pi). The achieved result does not depend on the coupling intensity, the atomic optical density, or the width and shape of the switching pulse. 相似文献

We analyze optical bistability (OB) behavior based on intersubband transitions in an asymmetric coupled-quantum well (CQW) driven coherently by a probe laser field and a control laser field by means of a unidirectional ring cavity. We demonstrate that OB can be controlled by tuning the energy splitting between two tunnel-coupled electronic levels, the intensity of the control field, and the frequency detuning of the probe and control fields. The influence of the electronic cooperation parameter on the OB behavior is also discussed. This investigation may be used for optimizing and controlling the optical switching process in the CQW solid-state system, which is much more practical than that in atomic system because of its flexible design and the controllable interference strength. 相似文献

The linear absorption and the Kerr nonlinearity of multiple quantum dots molecules controlled by the tunneling rather than the laser fields are investigated. The tunneling between the dots can induce multiple transparency windows. By varying the energy splitting of the excited states and the tunneling intensity, the width of the tunneling induced transparency windows can be narrowed. Within the narrowed transparency windows, the steep dispersion profile of the probe field makes it possible to enhance the Kerr nonlinearity. Therefore more than one probe fields with different frequencies can acquire giant Kerr accompanied by vanishing absorption simultaneously. 相似文献

Under the weak-probe approximation, we theoretically investigate the transient gain-absorption property of the probe field in a four-level asymmetric semiconductor quantum well system. We find that the strength of Fano interference and the energy splitting affect the transient gain-absorption property of the weak continuous-wave (CW) probe field or Gaussian-pulse probe field dramatically. The dependence of transient gain-absorption property of the probe field on the intensity and the frequency detuning of the strong coupling field is also given. Our study is much more practical than its atomic counterpart due to its flexible design and the controllable interference strength. Thus, it may provide some new possibilities for technological applications. 相似文献

We propose an efficient scheme for optimizing the optical memory of a sequence of signal light pulses in a system of ultracold atoms in Λ configuration. The memory procedure consists of write-in, storage, and retrieval phases. By applying a weak microwave field in the storage stage, additional phase-dependent terms are included, and the contrast of the output signal pulses can be dynamically controlled (enhanced or suppressed) through manipulating the relative phase φ between optical and microwave fields. Our numerical analysis shows that the contrast is enhanced to the most extent when φ=1.5π. In addition, the contrast is in proportion to the Rabi frequency of the microwave field with a certain relative phase. 相似文献

Electromagnetically induced transparency of single Λ-type three-level atom in high-finesse optical cavity 下载免费PDF全文
We study the features of the electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) in a single Λ-type three-level atom placed in a high finesse cavity under the action of a coupling laser and a probe laser. Our calculations show that three transparency windows appear when the pump strength is big enough. It can be explained by the residual pump in the cavity resulting mostly in the energy splitting. Level |3〉is split into four slightly different energy levels. An interference takes place between excitation pathways. Furthermore, it is also shown that the frequencies of the EIT windows can be tuned by changing the coupling field detuning Δ2 and the reflection profile is very sensitive to the cavity field detuning Δc. 相似文献

We analyze the storage and retrieval of a weak light pulse, having two orthogonally (circularly) polarized components, onto an atomic ensemble of four-level atoms of the tripod type driven by a far detuned coupling field. The atoms are subject to a longitudinal magnetic field which produces a spatially varying Zeeman splitting of the lower levels along the medium and allows for a spatial encoding of the different angular frequencies of the input pulse during the storage phase. A single reversion of the external magnetic field results in a rephasing of the dipoles and leads to the release of the stored signals. The shape of the recovered pulse is a time-reversal copy of the input pulse. The application of an additional reversion of the magnetic field during the storage phase allows the release of a copy of the input pulse without time reversal. We also show that the system may operate like an all-optical multiplexer when considering two impinging optical fields which have orthogonal components. The proposal has potential applications in quantum information processing. 相似文献

We analyze the energy storage process of light propagating with slow group velocity in a sample where electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) is created by a strong coupling field. We compare the formation of slow light in EIT and in self-induced transparency (SIT). For SIT, soliton-like propagation of light with essentially reduced group velocity takes place because of the temporary storage of an appreciable part of the pulse energy in the atoms. For EIT, no energy of the probe is stored in the atoms. This energy is transformed to the coupling field and leaves the sample with phase velocity c without absorption. Slow light is formed by a low frequency coherence induced at the input by the probe and coupling fields in a two-quantum excitation process. This coherence propagates as a “spin wave” with small group velocity, and at a large distance from the input, the coherence rules the process of the energy transformation from the coupling field to the probe, reproducing exactly the temporal profile of the probe at the input. 相似文献

We obtained a long-time-storage mechanism for spectral features in thulium ions doped into YAG by applying a magnetic field that splits the electronic ground state. We show experimentally that the storage time can be more than 30 s, which is 3 orders of magnitude longer than that of the metastable state that normally is used for information storage in this material. Level splitting and storage lifetimes for various magnetic field strengths of as much as 5 T were investigated. This storage mechanism will be relevant in the many coherent transient-based signal-processing schemes in which Tm:YAG is being used, and we demonstrate long-time storage in a basic data storage application. 相似文献

We experimentally study the controllable generation of a beating signal using stored light pulses based on electromagnetically induced transparency(EIT) in a solid medium. The beating signal relies on an asymmetric procedure of light storage and retrieval. After storing the probe pulse into the spin coherence under the EIT condition, two-color control fields with opposite detunings instead of the initial control field are used to scatter the stored spin coherence. The controllable beating signal is generated due to alternative constructive and destructive interferences in the retrieved signal intensities. The beating of the two-color control fields is mapped into the beating of weak probe fields by using atomic spin coherence. This beating signal will be important in precise atomic spectroscopy and fast quantum limited measurements. 相似文献

We demonstrate coherent optical detection of highly excited Rydberg states (up to n=124) using electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT), providing a direct nondestructive probe of Rydberg energy levels. We show that the EIT spectra allow direct optical detection of electric field transients in the gas phase, and we extend measurements of the fine structure splitting of the nd series up to n=96. Coherent coupling of Rydberg states via EIT could also be used for cross-phase modulation and photon entanglement. 相似文献

We analyze hybrid absorptive-dispersive optical bistability (OB)
behavior via tunable Fano-type interference based on intersubband
transitions in asymmetric double quantum wells (QWs) driven
coherently by a probe laser field by means of a unidirectional
ring cavity. We show that OB can be controlled efficiently by
tuning the energy splitting of the two excited states (the
coupling strength of the tunnelling), the Fano-type interference,
and the frequency detuning. The influence of the electronic
cooperation parameter on the OB behavior is also discussed. This
investigation may be used for optimizing and controlling the
optical switching process in the QW solid-state system, which is
much more practical than that in atomic system because of its
flexible design and the controllable interference strength. 相似文献

A scheme of electric-field measurement of micro-waves is proposed in Rydberg atoms with Doppler effects. A cascade-type electromagnetically-induced-transparency (EIT) system is disturbed by a perturbative field coupling a metastable transition. The original dark state splits and two EIT window appear with a central absorption peak. When a micro-wave (MW) field couples the Rydberg transition, the central absorption peak is divided into two. The frequency splitting of two central peaks is proportional to the MW field intensity, which can be used to probe MW electric field strength. This frequency-readout method based on a double-dark state system increases the probe sensitivity nearly by a factor of 7, compared with that of the single-dark state case. At room temperature, Doppler effects can enhance the absorption spectrum, moreover, its peak value varies linearly with the MW field strength. This can also serve to measure MW electric field strength. Numerical results show that the latter intensity-readout method after Doppler averaging improves the probe sensitivity by a factor of 10 with respect to the case without Doppler effects. 相似文献
