Stability and Group Index Switching in a Four-Level Atomic System

A four-level atomic system is proposed for stability and group index switching in the presence of spontaneously generated coherence. It is found that the transition from optical bistability （OB） to optical multistability （OM） and subluminal to superluminal can be obtained simultaneously. It is shown that the relative phase between applied fields can affect the stability and group index behaviors of weak probe light in the medium. Our proposed model provides a new scheme for simultaneous switching from OB to OM and （sub-to-super） luminal light propagation in an atomic system.

Optical bistability induced by quantum coherence in a negative index atomic medium

Bistability behaviors in an optical ring cavity filled with a dense V-type four-level atomic medium are theoretically investigated. It is found that the optical bistability can appear in the negative refraction frequency band, while both the bistability and multi-stability can occur in the positive refraction frequency bands. Therefore, optical bistability can be realized from conventional material to negative index material due to quantum coherence in our scheme.

Optical bistability via amplitude and phase control of a microwave field

We investigate the steady-state optical bistability behavior in a three-level Λ-type atomic system closed by a microwave field under the condition that the applied fields are in resonance with corresponding atomic transitions. It is shown that the bistable hysteresis cycles can be controlled by both the amplitude and the phase of the microwave field.     

Optical bistability and multistability via multi-Raman-channel interference

We investigate the optical bistability and multistability behaviors in a closed three-level A-type atomic system. By adding a sideband on either hand of the transitions which are originally coupled by a coherent control field and a coherent probe field to disturb the two-photon resonance, bistability occurs due to two-channel interference. Increasing the sideband Rabi frequency leads to the switching from bistability to tristability. When the sideband simultaneously couples with both hands, we can easily obtain quadrastability.     

Controlling the optical bistability and multistability in a two-level pumped-probe system

We study the behavior of the optical bistability (OB) and multistability (OM) in a two-level pumped-probe atomic system by means of a unidirectional ring cavity. We show that the optical bistability in a two-level atomic system can be controlled by adjusting the intensity of the pump field and the detuning between two fields. We find that applying the pumping field decreases the threshold of the optical bistability.     

Optical bistability and multistability in a parametric region

We study the optical bistability (OB) and optical multistability (OM) behaviors in a five-level $\Lambda $ -type parametric region atomic system by two-photon resonant transitions. We find that the intensity threshold of OB and switching from OB to OM or vice versa can be controlled via quantum interference between different two-photon transitions pathways.     

Optical bistability and multistability via double dark resonance in graphene nanostructure

Electrons in graphene nanoribbons can lead to exceptionally strong optical responses in the infrared and terahertz regions owing to their unusual dispersion relation.Therefore,on the basis of quantum optics and solid-material scientific principles,we show that optical bistability and multistability can be generated in graphene nanostructure under strong magnetic field.We also show that by adjusting the intensity and detuning of infrared laser field,the threshold intensity and hysteresis loop can be manipulated efficiently.The effects of the electronic cooperation parameter which are directly proportional to the electronic number density and the length of the graphene sample are discussed.Our proposed model may be useful for the nextgeneration all-optical systems and information processing based on nano scale devices.

Thus, it may provide some new possibilities for technological applications in optoelectronics and quantum information science.     

Optical bistability and multistability in a photorefractive bidirectional ring oscillator

We consider optical bistability and multistability based on the theory of bidirectional oscillations induced by four-wave mixing (FWM) in a photorefractive (PR) phaseconjugate ring resonator model. Bistable and multistable effects of the intensity of oscillation have been established numerically using a successive bisection method that can predict repeated roots as well as discontinuities.Oscillation intensities are studied as a function of parameters such as the nonlinear coupling strength (gL), the ratio of pump beam intensities (R) and the product of reflection coefficients of three cavity mirrors (|r|). It is shown that for certain combinations of these parameters and assuming that gL exceeds its threshold value, the oscillation intensity becomes double-valued or multivalued corresponding to the number of oscillating modes in the cavity. The multiplicity of solutions as well as the possible regions of bistable/multistable branches are greatly affected by the sign of gL and also depend on whether R and |r| are greater than or less than unity.     

Sideband control of optical bistability and multistability

We present sideband control of optical bistability and multistability based on trichromatic electromagnetic-field induced transparency and quantum interference. Appearance or disappearance of the bistability and multistability, manipulation of the hysteresis loop widths, and switching between bistability and tristability are achieved simply by varying the sideband amplitudes or the relative phases of the sidebands to the central component.     

Optical bistability and multistability in a four-level quantum system in the presence of plasmonic nanostructure

In this paper, the effect of plasmonic nanostructure on behavior of optical bistability and multistability in a four-level quantum system embedded in a unidirectional ring cavity has been studied. It is found that the distance between plasmonic nanostructures and a four-level quantum system is varied from 4.4 nm to 14.4 nm and has an essential role for controlling the threshold of optical bistability and multistability. Moreover, obtained results show that the group velocity of pulse propagation through the medium is strongly depended on the distance between the plasmonic nanostructure and the four-level quantum system.
