Observation of Quantum Beating from Two Coupled Parametric Six-Wave Mixing Signals in Rb

Two processes of coupled difference-frequency axially phase-matched parametric six-wave mixing are carried out in Rb vapour by two-photon excitation using fs laser pulses, and parametric six-wave mixing signals in the infrared and near infrared regime are detected. The infrared parametric six-wave mixing signals are up-converted into the visible spectral range by sum-frequency mixing with the pump laser in a LiIO₃ crystal. Moreover, quantum beating at 608cm^-1, corresponding to the 7s-5d energy difference in Rb, is observed from the sum-frequency signal at 495nm. As a result, we obtain modulated light signals in the visible, near infrared and infrared spectral ranges, and study the interference between 7s and 5d states of Rb.

Competition between Dispersion and Absorption of Doubly-Dressed Four-Wave Mixing and Dressed Six-Wave Mixing

We study the competition between dispersion and absorption of doubly-dressed four-wave mixing （DDFWM） and dressed six-wave mixing. In the case of weak coupling fields limit, we find DDFWM signal is affected by destructive interference between four-wave mixing（FWM） and six-wave mixing as wen as constructive interference between FWM and eight-wave mixing. By analysing the difference between two kinds of doubly dressing mechanisms （parallel cascade and nested cascade） in this opening five-level system, we can further understand the generated high-order nonlinear optical signal dressed by multi-fields.     

Three-Photon Resonant Nondegenerate Six-Wave Mixing in a Dressed Atomic System

We report a three-photon resonant nondegenerate six-wave mixing （NSWM） in a dressed cascade five-level system. It has advantages that phase match condition is not stringent and NSWM signal is enhanced tremendously due to the multiple resonance with the atomic transition frequencies. In the presence of a strong coupling field, the threephoton resonant NSWM spectrum exhibits＂ Autler-Townes splitting. This technique provides a spectroscopic tool for measuring not only the resonant frequency and dephasing rate but also the transition dipole moment between two highly excited atomic states.

Generation of Competitive and Coexisting Two Pairs of Biphotons in Single Hot Atomic Vapor Cell

The non-classical states of light serve as a potential candidate for emerging quantum information process. A processing trend to enhance its scalability is to integrate multiple nonlinear processes with the dressed-state picture into a single device, and therefore, are useful for quantum computations. Here, a novel method is proposed to experimentally achieve the generation of coexisting two pairs of narrow-band biphotons by two four-wave mixing processes in a single hot rubidium vapor cell. Based on the photon-atom nonlinear interfaces, the generated biphotons exhibits genuine entanglement in time–energy. Meanwhile, the nonlinear susceptibility with the dressed-state picture decides the temporal correlation of the biphotons wave packet as a damped periodic Rabi oscillation, suggesting the property of the high-dimensional time–energy entangled state. Such a high-dimensional entangled state also is an efficient way to enhance information carrying capacity. By alternating two nonlinear susceptibilities in a single device, respectively, there exists a competition of the generation rate between such two pairs of biphotons. Moreover, both generated two pairs of biphotons that violate the Cauchy–Schwarz inequality and show their non-classical behavior.     

Enhanced Spin Depolarization and Storage Time in a Rb Vapor

The experiment of measuring the spin depolarized time and light storage time in a Rb vapor under different conditions is performed. Typically, these measurements are accomplished in three different containers： atoms in a bare glass cell, atoms in a buffer gas cell, and atoms in a tetracontane （C4oH82） coating cell. The increasing depolarization and storage times are observed in both the buffer gas cell and the tetracontane coating cell. In the latter case, a storage time greater than 400μs is obtained.

Observation of Quantum Beat in Rb by Parametric Four-Wave Mixing

Two coupled paralnetric four-wave-mixing processes in Rb atoms are studied using perturbation theory, which reveals clear evidence of tile appearance of quantum beat at 608cm^-1, corresponding to the energy difference of the 7s - 5d states of Rb atoms, in the parametric four-wave-mixing signals. A pump-probe technique is utilized to observe the quantum beat. Tinle-varying characteristics of the quantum beat are investigated using time-dependellt Fourier transform. The results show that the time-varying characteistics of the quantum beat not oldy offers a sensitive detecting method for observing the decay of atomic wave packets, but also provides a potential tool for monitoriHg the dissociation of molecules.

Output Rate of Atomic Four-Wave Mixing in Two-Component Bose-Einstein Condensate

In this letter, following the proposal of Heurich, et al. [Phys. Rev. A63 (2001) 033605], we analyze and discuss output rate of atomic four-wave mixing in the two-component Bose-Einstein condensate under the condition of the steady state. The results show that the magnitude of the signal beam increases with the increase of the intensity of the probe beam, up to a saturated value, then it decreases as the probe beam increases. The influence of the interaction range on the signal beam is also predicted. In particular, it is worth while pointing out that in contrast to the previous solutions, our obtained analytical solutions are of very simple and explicit forms, which open the door for further investigating the related physical mechanisms.     

High-Frequency Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen Entanglement via Atomic Memory Effects in Four-Wave Mixing

Atomic memory effects occur when the atomic relaxation times are comparable to or much longer than the cavlty relaxation times. We show that by using the memory effects, it is possible to obtain high-frequency Einstein- Podolsky-tlosen entanglement between a pair of Stokes and anti-Stokes fields in a four-wave mixing system. The physical origin is traced to the dynamical Stark splittings of dressed states due to the parametrically amplified fields. This mechanism provides an alternative and efficient way for sideband entanglement.

Atomic 6p-Tl0 centers in ferroelectric Rb2ZnCl4 crystals

Abstract

Several Tl⁰ (6s²6p ¹)-type paramagnetic centers, produced by low temperature X-ray irradiation, were observed and studied by electron spin resonance (ESR) in the orthorhombic ferroelectric phase of thallium doped Rb₂ZnCl₄ crystals. The centers were formed by electron trapping at Tl⁺ ions localized substitutionally at Rb⁺ sites. The number and properties of the observed centers account for the tripling of the unit cell in the ferroelectric phase.
