一种太赫兹类电磁诱导透明超材料谐振器

理论和实验研究了一种由开口谐振环(SR)和双金属线(CW)组合的具有类电磁诱导透明(EIT)效应的SR/CW太赫兹谐振器。分别对由单侧开口和双侧开口谐振环的SR/CW谐振器特性进行了仿真,并分析了开口环在结构单元中位置的变化对谐振峰强度和品质因子Q的影响。结果表明,两个谐振器在0.7THz附近的谐振峰是由开口环LC谐振和双金属线偶极谐振干涉相消引起的。开口环位置变化对单侧开口环的SR/CW结构谐振峰强度和Q值影响较大,而对双侧开口环的SR/CW谐振器的影响很小。利用激光诱导与化学镀铜技术制备了SR/CW谐振器样品,并利用太赫兹时域光谱(THz-TDS)对样品进行了透射性能测试,测试结果与仿真分析基本相符。

基于连续波太赫兹频域光谱系统的样品折射率测定方法

经过二十年的发展,太赫兹光谱技术已经在生物医疗、工业质检、国防安全、新材料研发等多个领域证明了其强大的应用潜力,然而传统太赫兹时域光谱技术(THz-TDS)对飞秒激光器的依赖,严重限制了太赫兹技术在实际工业领域中的应用,近年来,以商业成熟的中红外激光混频作为产生与探测机制的太赫兹频域光谱技术(THz-FDS),凭借其高集成度、低成本以及高分辨率等适用于实际应用的特点得到了广泛的研究关注。但是,作为新型光谱技术,THz-FDS的数据处理算法与传统THz-TDS相比仍处于起步阶段,此前所开展的物质表征研究大多局限于信号幅值的利用,而其相干探测机制所蕴含的太赫兹波相位信息并未得到充分挖掘,与相位信息紧密相关的样品折射率、介电常数、极化率等关键参数因此无法准确获取。从THz-FDS的相干探测原理出发,结合实测数据,详细阐述了太赫兹波相位信息与THz-FDS原始光电流数据周期振荡之间的联系,建立了由原始光电流数据振荡周期求取样品折射率的理论模型。在此基础上,指出了传统零频基点求取折射率方法在低频段表现欠佳的原因,提出了所改进的双基点折射率求取算法。为了验证所提出的折射率测定方法的可靠性,选取了在...

Electromagnetically Induced Transparency: Answering a Question of Romain

At the request of Romain, I derive analytical results describing the response of a three-level medium subjected to a strong pump beam and two weak probe beams. All three beams have a constant intensity. The results are the real and imaginary parts of the medium coherence, which is related to the nonlinear susceptibility. The main feature is that the three beams mix absorption and dispersion. There is a finite window of gain bounded by a point of electromagnetically induced transparency. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Dielectric-Based Electromagnetically Induced Transparency Metamaterial in the Microwave Band

An electromagnetically induced transparency metamaterial (EITM) based on dielectric resonators is presented in this paper, which consists of a cut wire (CW) and ten dielectric columns. Destructive interference between the CW, which is a branch of the microstrip line, and the dielectric resonators causes the EIT phenomenon. The simulation results show that the dielectric-based EITM designed can obtain a transmission peak of 0.938 at 2.17 GHz, and the two-oscillator model is utilized to verify the effectiveness of the structure. In addition, samples of the dielectric-based EITM are also fabricated and the effectiveness of the metamaterial is experimentally verified. The proposed metamaterial has several advantages, including high efficiency, low loss, a simple structure, and ease of manufacture, which has good prospects for application in the fields of electromagnetic switches, sensors, and nonlinear metamaterials.     

Electromagnetically Induced Transparency in a Four-Level Atomic System

In this paper, we analyze and discuss the absorption properties of the probe beam in a four-level atomic system with a nearly hyper-fine doublet structure of two higher-lying excited levels based on electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) for the two cases of transient process and steady-state process. The main gain of this work is to investigate theoretically the influence of the nearly hyper-fine levels on the probe absorption. For the transient process,using the numerical calculations by a simple Mathematica code we find that the magnitude of the probe absorption at the line center is small compared to the typical three-level atomic system in the context of electromagnetically induced transparency. For the case of the steady state, our results show that the probe absorption can be completely eliminated at the line center of the probe transition just as the usual three-level EIT scheme.     

Electromagnetically Induced Transparency in a Four-Level Atomic System

Full Quantum Theory of Transient-State Electromagnetically Induced Transparency

We develop a full quantum theory of transient-state electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) in thevapor of three-level A-type atoms interacting with probe and coupling lasers. As applications of the full quantum theory,we show that transient-state EIT medium exhibits normal dispersion and find that group velocities of both coupling andprobe lasers are greatly reduced. It is shown that the group velocity of the probe laser in the transient-state EIT case isequal to that in the adiabatic EIT case and that the coupling laser group velocity in the transient-state EIT is generallyless than that in the adiabatic EIT.     

Electromagnetically Induced Transparency in an Atom-Molecule Bose-Einstein Condensate

We propose a new measurement scheme for the atom-molecule dark state by using electromagnetically induced transparency （FIT） technique. Based on a density-matrix formalism, we calculate the absorption coefficient numerically. The appearance of the EIT dip in the spectra profile gives clear evidence for the creation of the dark state in the atom-molecule Bose--Einstein condensate.     

Electromagnetically Induced Transparency and Absorption of A Monochromatic Light Controlled by a Radio Frequency Field

Electromagnetically induced transparency and absorption of a monochromatic light controlled by a radio frequency field in the cold multi-Zeeman-sublevel atoms are theoretically investigated. These Zeeman sublevels are coupled by a radio frequency(RF) field. Both electromagnetically induced transparency and electromagnetically induced absorption can be obtained by tuning the frequency of RF field for both the linear polarization and elliptical polarization monochromatic lights. When the transfer of coherence via spontaneous emission from the excited state to the ground state is considered, electromagnetically induced absorption can be changed into electromagnetically induced transparency with the change of intensity of radio field. The transparency windows controlled by the RF field can have potential applications in the magnetic-field measurement and quantum information processing.     

Broadband Plasmon-Induced Transparency to a Electromagnetically Induced Absorption Conversion Metastructure Based on Germanium

A Germanium (Ge) metastructure with switching features from broadband plasmon-induced transparency (PIT) and electromagnetically induced absorption (EIA) is presented, which forms a broadband PIT through the near-field coupling between the localized plasmon resonance and the Mie resonance employing four gold cut wires as bright plasmon resonators and four C-shaped dielectric rings as dark plasmon resonators. A wide transparent window above 0.9 is achieved covering from 0.622 to 0.823 THz with a relative bandwidth of 27.8%. In addition, through phase modulation, a magnetic dipole is generated by the constructive interference of the near-field coupling of the three resonators to realize the PIT to EIA conversion. In addition, a grid-like metastructure is introduced to realize the PIT to EIA conversion by phase modulation. To enhance the EIA bandwidth, another layer of C-shaped reflection plate resonator is introduced to increase the dark mode loss, and a layer of frequency selective surface composed of cross-shaped resonators is also used. Thus under the dual effect, a wide absorption window above 0.75 is achieved covering from 0.647 to 0.756 THz with a relative bandwidth of 15.5%.
