Autler–Townes spectroscopy of high-lying state by phase conjugate six-wave mixing

An Autler-Townes(AT) spectroscopy based on phase conjugate six-wave mixing(SWM) is proposed to detect AT doublet of high-lying state in a Doppler-broadened cascade four-level system.It is found that the SWM spectrum is dependent strongly on the ratios between the magnitudes of the wave vectors.We discuss how the Doppler broadening affects the SWM spectrum from a time-domain viewpoint and find that,due the atomic motion,the atomic polarizations acquire different phases for atoms with different velocities as time evolves.The Doppler free SWM spectrum can be obtained only when the atomic polarization can be rephasing again at certain time after the interactions of all the incident fields.     

Atomic coherence in nondegenerate four-wave mixing

Two-photon resonant nondegenerate four-wave mixing (NFWM) with the addition of a coupling field in Ba atomic vapour has been studied. We find that coherence of the atomic level transitions leads to suppression of the NFWM signal, giving rise to a dip with a linewidth that is linearly proportional to the intensity of the coupling field.     

Iterative filtered ghost imaging

It is generally believed that, in ghost imaging, there has to be a compromise between resolution and visibility. Here we propose and demonstrate an iterative filtered ghost imaging scheme whereby a super-resolution image of a grayscale object is achieved, while at the same time the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and visibility are greatly improved, without adding complexity. The dependence of the SNR, visibility, and resolution on the number of iterations is also investigated and discussed. Moreover, with the use of compressed sensing the sampling number can be reduced to less than 1% of the Nyquist limit, while maintaining image quality with a resolution that can exceed the Rayleigh diffraction bound by more than a factor of 10.     

Spin Squeezing and Entanglement of Many-Particle Spin-Half States

In many-particle spin-half systems with exchange symmetry, we find that the spin squeezing is related to two types of entanglement, the bipartite and the pairwise entanglement. A quantitative relationship is revealed for the spin squeezing parameter, the tangle, and the concurrence. We find that a class of states is spin squeezed if the pairwise entanglement is stronger than the bipartite entanglement.     

缀饰原子系统中双光子共振非简并四波混频

本文研究了缀饰原子系统中的双光子共振非简并四波混频.理论上我们研究了多普勒增宽的四能级系统中耦合光场对双光子共振非简并四波混频的影响,发现加入强耦合场后,非简并四波混频频谱出现Autler-Townes分裂;在不同双光子共振失谐时,由于量子干涉双光子共振非简并四波混频的信号能够被抑制或增强.实验上我们在Ba原子蒸汽中,通过引入基态6s2和自电离里德堡态6pnd之间的原子相干证实了该现象.本方法提供了一种不仅可以测得共振频率和横向弛豫,而且可以测得两个高激发原子态之间的跃迁的偶极矩阵元的新的光谱学工具.     

Mid-infrared generation based on a periodically poled LiNbO3 optical parametric oscillator

We report a nanosecond Nd:YVO_4-pumped optical parametric oscillator (OPO) based on periodically poled LiNbO_3 (PPLN). Tuning is achieved in this experiment by varying the temperature and period of the PPLN. The design of double-pass singly resonant oscillator (DSRO) and confocal cavity enables the OPO threshold to be lowered considerably, resulting in a simple, compact, all-solid-state configuration with the mid-infrared idler powers of up to 466mW at 3.41μm.

基于光子间隙随机分布的任意进制真随机数源

根据激光光子数的泊松分布特征，通过衰减脉冲激光的光强度使衰减后平均每十个脉冲含有一个光子，该光子在十个脉冲中位置的分布是随机的，也即任意二十个脉冲中的两个光子的间隙时间是随机的。基于该随机间隙时间可产生真随机数序列，不仅可以产生二进制随机数，也可产生多进制的。实验上分别制备了二进制和十进制真随机数序列；对数据量为100M的样本进行通用的ENT程序随机性检验，检测结果很好。此外，该实验方案具有抗干扰能力强、便于集成、随机数产生速率容易提高等优点，可广泛应用于保密通信、身份验证、Monte Carlo计算、彩票游戏等领域。
