Population transfer by femtosecond laser pulses in a ladder-type atomic system

The population transfer in a ladder-type atomic system driven by linearly polarized sech-shape femtosecond laser pulses is investigated by numerically solving Schr6dinger equation without including the rotating wave approximation （RWA）. It is shown that population transfer is mainly determined by the Rabi frequency （strength） of the driving laser field and the chirp rate, and that the ratio of the dipole moments and the pulse width also have a prominent effect on the population transfer. By choosing appropriate values of the above parameters, complete population transfer can be realized.     

Effect of phase fluctuation on Hopf bifurcation in a ladder type atomic system

Hopf bifurcation inducing lasing without inversion has been analyzed by taking into account the effect of phase fluctuation in the driving field based on a closed three level ladder-type atomic model. It is shown that due to the phase fluctuation of the driving field, the necessary threshold increases significantly. Furthermore the area domain to get lasing without inversion decreases as the driving field's linewidth increases.     

Effect of vacuum-induced coherence on lasing without inversion in an equispaced three-level ladder system

The effects of vacuum-induced coherence (VIC) on the properties of the absorption and gain of the probe field in an equispaced three-level ladder atomic system are investigated. It is found that lasing without inversion (LWI) is remarkably enhanced due to the effect of VIC in the case of the small incoherent pump rate.     

Phase control in an open Λ-type system with spontaneously generated coherence

This paper investigates the control role of the relative phase between the probe and driving fields on the gain, dispersion and populations in an open A system with spontaneously generated coherence （SGC）. It shows that by adjusting the value of the relative phase, a change from lasing with inversion to lasing without inversion can be realized; the values and frequency spectrum regions of the inversionless gain and dispersion can be obviously varied; high refractive index with zero absorption and electromagnetically induced transparency can be achieved. It is also found that when the driving field is resonant, the shapes of the dispersion and the gain curves versus the probe detuning are very similar if the relative phase of the dispersion lags π/2 than that of the gain, however for the off-resonant driving field the similarity will disappear; the gain, dispersion and populations are periodical functions of the relative phase, the modulation period is always 2π; the contribution of SGC to the inversionless gain and dispersion is much larger than that of the dynamically induced coherence.     

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.     

Lasing with and without inversion due to spontaneously generated coherence in an open V-type system

It is shown that in an open V-type atomic system without incoherent pumping, the spontaneously generated coherence (SGC) can not only lead to lasing with inversion but also lead to lasing without inversion (LWI) including at resonance of the driving and probe fields. This conclusion is much different from that obtained in the corresponding closed V-type system.

A NONLINEAR ANALYTICAL AND NUMERICAL STUDY FOR AN OPEN SYSTEM WITH COHERENT OFF-RESONANCE FIELDS

An exact nonlinear analytical solution of an open V-type inversionless lasing system with two incoherent pump fields, off-resonant driving and probe fields is given. Through qualitative and quantitative comparison of the gain, dispersion and population differences of the linear and nonlinear cases, some conclusions concerning the Rabi frequencies of the driving and the probe fields are drawn and discussed in detail.
