Residual Doppler Effect on Electromagnetically Induced Transparency in a Zeeman Sublevel System

We investigate the residual Doppler effect on the linewidth of electromagnetieally induced transparency （EIT） in a Zeeman sublevel system where a careful experimental design ensures the smallest measurement error. The overall measurement error of the EIT linewidth is estimated to be less than 5%. We present the linear dependence of EIT resonance broadening at small angular deviation in detail. The theoretical analysis exploits the dependence of this feature and shows the qualitative agreement between numerical results and experimental results.

以等离子体电弧作为声源,利用高频电流进行调制,激发电弧可以产生超声波。研究了高频调制电弧的激发特性和声场特征,发现调制电弧所发射超声波在激励频段内呈现平坦的幅频特性,激励电流是影响电弧超声强度的主要因素,声压幅值与电弧等离子体流力的变化量成正比,声场呈现轴向强两侧弱的特征。同时介绍了利用电弧激发超声波在改善焊缝组织性能方面的应用。     

铯蒸汽中的光存储现象的研究

光存储(light storage)现象在最近一段时间内受到了越来越多的关注.由于光子作为信息的载体有着天然的优越性,例如,传播速度快,信息量大等.所以各国科学家都在不断地寻找各种方法去操控光子.这其中电磁感应透明现象(EIT)的发现给我们提供了一个新的方法.电磁感应现象是指当两束相干光(通常被称为耦合光和探测光)进入到共振介质中时,由于量子相干效应使探测光可以在其中无吸收地传播.更引人瞩目的是与此伴随着介质表现出很强的群速度色散性质(如图1).我们可以利用这个性质来改变光脉冲在介质中的传播的群速度,最终把光脉冲存储下来.这在未来的全光通信和量子信息领域有着重要的意义.     

The breaking point between fast- and slow-light in adegenerate two-level atomic system

This paper investigates the breaking point between fast- and slow-light in a degenerate two-level atomic system, where fast-light can be converted to slow-light arbitrarily on a single transition line by adjusting the strength of the pumping field. An equivalent incoherent pumping rate is introduced in this simplified theoretical model which exploits the dependence of this feature. The experimental observation is presented as evidence of the breaking point where the injected power is about 0.08~{\rm mW}.     

Dependence of electromagnetically induced transparency on temperature

We performed an experimental study on the dependence of the linewidth of electromagetically induced transparency (EIT) on the temperature of medium in a Λ-type configuration using caesium vapour. We found that the transparent window is narrowed in the EIT whose two ground levels are composed of two hyperfine levels, and broadened in the case when the two ground levels are degenerated Zeeman sublevels, as the temperature of vapour cell is increased. The explanation for the phenomena is given qualitatively.     

无反转放大效应(AWI)对光速减慢与负群速传播的影响

由于光子作为信息的载体有着天然的优越性,例如,传播速度快,信息量大等.所以各国科学家都在不断地寻找各种方法去操控光子.其中电磁感应透明(Electromagnetically Induced Transparency, EIT),电磁感应吸收(Electromagnetically Induced absorption, EIA)和无反转放大效应(Amplification Without Inversion, AWI)作为控制光子的手段一直受到人们的关注.电磁感应透明现象(EIT)可以实现共振光无吸收传播的同时伴随有大的群速度色散效应.我们实现了无缓冲气体的铯泡(Cs)中的光脉冲群速度的减慢,通过在EIT的原子系统上加入非相干泵浦来产生AWI效应,我们发现光脉冲在其中的传播速度随着泵浦光强的增加而明显减小,延迟时间增加一倍,光脉冲的群速度相当于c/40000.此外,我们还利用电磁感应吸收现象(EIA)产生的大的负群速度色散效应,我们观察到了在无缓冲气体的铯泡(Cs)中,光脉冲的负群速度传播的现象.通过EIA原子系统中非相干泵浦光的加入,AWI 效应使得超光速现象变得更加明显,光脉冲的负群速度变得更大.最大的光脉冲超前时间可以达到0.9 μs,相当于光脉冲的群速度为-c/40000.
