准Λ型四能级系统中的超窄谱线的研究

在一般Λ型三能级模型的基础上提出准Λ型四能级系统,并对准Λ型四能级模型的共振荧光谱作了详尽的研究.从上能级向两边下能级辐射的自发辐射谱中产生了三个超窄谱线,且在很大参数范围内光谱具有这一特性.三个超窄谱线的产生是和两个相干驱动场的Rabi频率密切相关,在较大的Rabi频率作用下谱线会变得更窄,而当只有一个驱动场作用时是不会产生谱线变窄效应的.能级间的碰撞弛豫和非相干激发严重地破坏了谱线变窄.这种超窄谱线效应是多通道量子干涉的结果 关键词： 准Λ型四能级系统 超窄谱线 多通道量子干涉

SGC Switching Between Subluminal to Superluminal Propagation in V-Type Atom

For a V-type three-level atomic system with two closely spaced upper levels, we investigate the light pulse propagation properties with only one laser field. Due to spontaneously generated coherence, the group velocity of the light pulse can be changed from subluminal to superluminal. The effects of the field intensity and the two-upper level splitting on the group velocity are also shown. At last, an analytical expression for the group velocity is given in the case of a weak field.

Phase-Controlled Transparent Superluminal Light Propagation in a Doppler-Broadened Four-Level N-Type System

The propagation of a weak probe field in a four-level N-type quantum system in the presence of spontaneously generated coherence(SGC) is theoretically investigated. The optical properties of the system are studied and it is shown that the group velocity of light pulse can be controlled by relative phase of applied fields. By changing the relative phase of applied fields, the group velocity of light pulse changes from transparent subluminal to the transparent superluminal light propagation. Thus, the phase-controlled absorption-free superluminal light propagation is obtained without applying an incoherent laser fields to the system. The propagation of a weak probe light pulse is studied by solving the Maxwell's wave equation on numerical grid in space and time. Moreover, we study the third order self- and cross-Kerr susceptibility of probe field and calculate the nonlinear cross-phase shift for different values of intensity of applied fields. In addition, we take into account the effect of Doppler broadening on the light pulse propagation and it is found that a suitable choice of laser propagation directions allows us to preserve our results even in the presence of Doppler effect. It is demonstrated that by increasing the Doppler width of distribution to the room temperature,the dispersion changes from transparent subluminal to transparent superluminal light propagation which is our major motivation for this work.

Inhibition of Two-Photon Absorption in a Four-Level Atomic System with Closed-Loop Configuration

We theoretically investigate the features of two-photon absorption in a coherently driven four-level atomic system with closed-loop configuration. It is found that two-photon absorption can be completely suppressed just by properly adjusting the relative phase of four coherent low-intensity driving fields and the atomic system becomes trans- parent against two-photon absorption. From a physical point of view, we explicitly explain these results in terms of quantum interference induced by two different two-photon excitation channels.     

Propagation of Light in an Ensemble of Tripod Level Atoms

We study the propagation of a quantum probe light in an ensemble of tripod level atoms when the atoms are coupled to two other classical control fields. First we calculate the dispersion properties, such as susceptibility and group velocity, of the probe light within such an atomic medium under the case of three-photon resonance via the dynamical algebra method of collective atomic excitations. Then we calculate the dispersion of the probe light in the case that two classical control fields have the different detunings to the relative atomic transitions. Our results show that in both cases the phenomenon of electromagnetically induced transparency can occur. Especially under the second case, we can find two transparency windows for the probe light.
