反常色散介质“超光速”现象研究的新进展

文章介绍了王力军等人的光脉冲在反常色散介质传播实验的测量结果，说明了实验测量的不完全性，因而它不能在是否超光速的问题的答案，文章还介绍了近一年来相应的理论研究工作，文章作者依据物理概念和理论研究结果论证了该实验所得的负群速度本身并不超光速；如果把负群速度看成是某种能量的传播那私超光速出现在负群速度开始时间间，因而它是超距作用，违反能量守恒或动量守恒，因此，负群速度只是表观速度，能流的研究结果也证明了这一点。这就是说，该实验并没有观察 到超观察到超光速传播。

Atom localization via absorption spectrum

We propose a scheme to localize an atom in a three-level A-type configuration inside a classical standing wave field conditioned upon the measurement of frequency of a weak probe field. Inside the classical standing wave field, the interaction between atom and the field is position-dependent due to the Rabi frequency of the driving field; hence, as the absorption frequency of the probe field is measured, the position of an atom inside the classical standing wave field will be determined. Localizing of an atom via absorption spectrum occurs during its motion inside the standing wave field. An investigation of the probe field frequency shows that the degree of localization depends on interaction parameters such as detuning, phase difference between applied fields, and Rabi frequency of the driving field.     

Influence of Doppler broadening and spontaneously generated coherence on propagation effect in a quasi lambda-type four-level system

In this paper we study influences of Doppler broadening, spontaneously generated coherence, and other system parameters on propagation effect in a quasi lambda-type four-level atomic system. It is shown that when the Doppler broadening is present, generally speaking, the values of gain and intensity of lasing without inversion (i.e. the probe field) in the co-propagating probe and driving fields case are much larger than those in the counter-propagating case; considerably larger gain and intensity of lasing without inversion than those without the Doppler broadening can be obtained by choosing appropriate values of the Doppler broadening width and spontaneously generated coherence strength. The gain and intensity of lasing without inversion increase with the increase of spontaneously generated coherence strength; when spontaneously generated coherence is present, much larger gain and intensity of lasing without inversion than those in the case without spontaneously generated coherence can be obtained. Choosing suitable values of the probe detuning, Rabi frequencies of the driving and pump fields at the entrance of the medium also can remarkably enhance the gain and intensity of lasing without inversion.

Rabi-oscillation-enhanced frequency conversion in quantum-dot semiconductor optical amplifiers

We investigate the nonlinear light propagation in InAs/InGaAs quantum-dot-in-a-well semiconductor optical amplifiers in the limit of strong optical excitation where Rabi oscillations are excited in the active medium. The amplifier is analyzed in a degenerate four-wave-mixing setup and characterized by its frequency conversion and creation performance. Our simulations show that the interplay between the nonlinear four-wave-mixing process and the coherent Rabi oscillations greatly influences the frequency conversion process. Rabi oscillations can be resonantly excited by the correct choice of the frequency detuning between pump and probe signals, which greatly enhances the nonlinear frequency conversion efficiency at frequencies up to several THz. We furthermore show that the coherent pulse shaping of ultrashort optical pulses in the quantum-dot medium can greatly enhance their spectral bandwidth, potentially allowing for ultra-broad-band frequency comb generation.     

Optimal sideband-squeezing in the resonance fluorescence of a two-level atom

The quantum fluctuation spectra of phase quadratures of the fluorescent light from a coherently driven two-level atom damping in a common vacuum is investigated. We find that by optimally choosing the Rabi frequency of the driving field, detuning between the atom and the driving field, and phase of the local oscillator the strong sideband squeezing in the spectrum of the optimal phase quadrature can be created and the degree of squeezing in the sidebands can reach about 56%.     

Anisotropy of electromagnetically induced left-handedness in atomic three-level media based upon bianisotropic polarizabilities and tensor character

A three-level atomic system, configured as either a gaseous medium or a solid state material, with a driving field establishing a Rabi frequency of control, is tested by a probe field. The medium has bianisotropic microscopic polarizability and magnetizability, from which the permittivity and permeability tensors are derived. Non-isotropy and polarization dependence for left-handedness (negative index of refraction) is demonstrated through examination of tensor components in the detuning frequency spectrum. These results have important implications for use in optical or electronic devices.     

Lasing without inversion in a four-level diamond system

Soliton Trains Induced by Adaptive Shaping with Periodic Traps in Four-Level Ultracold Atom Systems

It is well known that an optical trap can be imprinted by a light field in an ultracold-atom system embedded in an optical cavity,and driven by three different coherent fields.Of the three fields coexisting in the optical cavity there is an intense control field that induces a giant Kerr nonlinearity via electromagnetically-induced transparency,and another field that creates a periodic optical grating of strength proportional to the square of the associated Rabi frequency.In this work elliptic-soliton solutions to the nonlinear equation governing the propagation of the probe field are considered,with emphasis on the possible generation of optical soliton trains forming a discrete spectrum with well defined quantum numbers.The problem is treated assuming two distinct types of periodic optical gratings and taking into account the negative and positive signs of detunings(detuning above or below resonance).Results predict that the competition between the self-phase and cross-phase modulation nonlinearities gives rise to a rich family of temporal soliton train modes characterized by distinct quantum numbers.
