On nonclassical effects in two-photon optical bistability and two-photon laser

We analyse the fluctuations at steady state in the good quality cavity case in two-photon lasers with running wave and two-photon absorptive optical bistability in a ring cavity. In the case of two-photon laser we do not find any nonclassical effect, contrary to expectations. On the other hand, in two-photon optical bistability we find squeezing and antibunching in the low transmission branch. The maximum reduction of fluctuations that can be obtained is slightly larger than by a factor of two.     

Dynamic Equations and Nonlinear Dynamics of Cascade Two-Photon Laser

We derive equations and study nonlinear dynamics of cascade two-photon laser, in which the electromagnetic field in the cavity is driven by coherently prepared three-level atoms and classical field injected into the cavity. The dynamic equations of such a system are derived by using the technique of quantum Langevin operators, and then are studied numerically under different driving conditions. The results show that under certain conditions the cascade two-photon laser can generate chaotic, period doubling, periodic, stable and bistable states. Chaos can be inhibited by atomic populations, atomic coherences, and injected classical field. In addition, no chaos occurs in optical bistability.     

The role of the interactive Kerr effect in two-photon optical multistability

We show that bistable behaviour in a two-photon resonant system within a cavity may be attributed to interactive mode-pulling via the two-photon optical Kerr effect and also to absorptive bleaching (atomic saturation). The interactive Kerr process may be regarded as giving rise to a new category of optical bistability. Moreover, a mechanism for the recently-predicted tristability can be found in terms of simultaneous competition between the interactive Kerr effect and bleaching.     

Lasers with two-photon saturable absorbers

We study the mean field properties of a solid-state monomode laser containing a saturable absorber which can undergo only two-photon transitions. Even when the cavity is tuned to the atomic line center there are two classes of stationary solutions, one of which is tuned to the microscopic frequency whereas the other one is always detuned. Furthermore optical bistability arises either between two tuned states or between a tuned and a detuned state.     

非简并双光子微脉塞的发射几率

Controllable Optical Bistability and Multistability in a Four-Level Atomic System with Closed-Loop Configuration

We theoretically investigate optical bistability （OB） and multistability （OM） behaviour of a closed-loop configuration atomic system driven by a degenerate coupling- field and a degenerate probe field inside a unidirectional ring cavity. It is found that the OB and OM behaviour can be controlled by adjusting- the intensity and the frequency detuning of the coupling- field, respectively. Interestingly, our numerical results show that it is easy to realize the transition from OB to OM or vice versa by adjusting- the intensity of the coupling- field under a appropriate frequency detuning. The effect of the atomic cooperation parameter on the OB behaviour is also discussed.     

Analytic solutions for two-photon absorption in counterpropagating beams in the cubic approximation

Exact stationary-state solutions of the cubic (unsaturated) nonlinearity model of degenerate two-photon absorption by counterpropagating beams are found, and are used to describe power limiting and multiple optical bistability within a Fabry-Perot etalon.

Effects of two-photon optical bistability upon phase conjugation

We have investigated phase conjugation by degenerate four-wave mixing, in circumstances where optical bistability can occur by two-photon resonant interaction. The solutions of the probe equation coupled with the two-photon equation of state have been obtained and studied. The two-photon phase-conjugated reflectivity is shown to exhibit multistability as well as hysteresis.     

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.     

Controlling the optical bistability via interacting dark-state resonances

We analyze the behavior of optical bistability in a four-level mercury atomic system driven by a cavity and two external coherent fields by means of a unidirectional ring cavity. We find that without interacting dark resonances and for large intensity of coupling field, the optical bistability disappears. So, the double dark resonances could significantly establish the optical bistability. Moreover, we demonstrate that the double dark resonances can dramatically reduce the threshold of optical bistability.     

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.

Generation of nonclassical states by nonlinear optical systems

We review the main results obtained recently by our group in the field of quantum noise reduction in nonlinear optical systems. We illustrate the possibility of obtaining significant effects in degenerate parametric oscillators, intracavity second-harmonic generation, nondegenerate four-wave mixing, and one- and two-photon optical bistability.     

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 via quantum interference from incoherent pumping and spontaneous emission

We theoretically investigate the optical bistability (OB) in a V-type three-level atomic system confined in a unidirectional ring cavity via incoherent pumping field. It is shown that the threshold of optical bistability can be controlled by the rate of an incoherent pumping field and by interference mechanism arising from the spontaneous emission and incoherent pumping field. We demonstrate that the optical bistability converts to optical multi-stability (OM) by the quantum interference mechanism.

A new class of optical multistabilities and instabilities induced by atomic coherence

We investigate the collective radiative behaviour of three level atoms with two degenerate levels in the ground state, with particular emphasis on the role of the ground state atomic coherence. When put in a cavity resonator, these atoms yield not only tristability, but also a higher-order bistability, a quadristability and a region of self generated oscillations.
