全光缓存器能够在光域内对数据包进行存储而不需经过光电光的变换,成为全光网的重要组成部分,其性能的优劣将直接影响到网络的丢包率等。但在半导体光放大器中交叉增益调制和交叉相位调制效应并存,导致基于半导体光放大器的环路型全光缓存器中缓存后输出的数据包与未缓存数据包的输出功率间存在不均衡,使得网络误码率增加。在详细分析全光缓存器工作原理的基础上,利用半导体光放大器中交叉增益调制和交叉相位调制并存的现象,巧妙地提出了将控制脉冲反相并配合电可调衰减器的新方法。该方法简单易行,有效解决了此类全光缓存器中数据包输出功率不均衡的难题,缓存器性能得到了极大改善。此方法适用于所有基于半导体光放大器的环路型全光缓存器。     

Transverse Effects in Slow Light Propagation

The effect of finite control beam on the transverse spatial profile of the slow light propagation in an electromagnetically induced transparency medium is studied. From the second-order wave equation and linear response of an EIT medium to the signal field, we find it is possible to produce an effective waveguide for the signal field. The existence and properties of a set of localized, stationary transverse modes are demonstrated. Especially, by carefully manipulating the profile of the control beam, we can realize single-mode propagation for the signal field, which may be important for potential applications.

Ultra slow light propagation without any control light field

Without need of another control light, this paper analyses in a time-dependent way a new scheme to achieve ultraslow propagation of the input probe field through a medium composed of two-level atoms where their upper level is split into two hyperfine sub-levels via some applied static field such as a DC magnetic or a DC electric field or whatever other static field.[第一段]     

Proposal for all-optical controllable switch using dipole induced transparency (DIT)

We propose a novel all-optical controllable switch using photonic crystal cavity. For doing this work, the dipole induced transparency phenomenon realized through interaction of light with multilevel nanocrystals is used. Multilevel nanocrystals are doped to photonic crystal rods. Using the proposed structure and applying the control field, the absorbing medium converts to transparent one and switching operation is obtained. Analytical relation for evaluation of the proposed device considering quantum optical effects is presented and studied by investigation of effects of parameters on switching characteristics. We show that high quality all-optical switching operation can be obtained.     

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.     

Experimental investigation of slow light propagation in degenerate two-level system

Slowing a light pulse in a degenerate two-level system is observed with a double-frequency sweeping technique. The effects of coupling beam intensity, cell temperature and frequency detunings of the coupling and probe beams in resonance, on the slowing of light propagation in such a system are investigated. It is found that group velocities depend strongly on polarization combinations. A group velocity $v_{\rm g}$=6760m/s of light pulses in caesium vapour is obtained under the optimal parameters.     

单光子和双光子电磁诱导透明谱的相干调制

采用一束相干外场作用在倒Y模型原子的基态与另外状态构成的跃迁上,实现对单光子和双光子电磁诱导透明谱的调制。经研究发现相干外场对单光子和双光子的吸收性质有类似的影响效果。由于相干外场的作用,吸收谱的共振点附近出现吸收峰将原单重透明谱分裂为双重透明谱。诱导的吸收峰的高度和透明谱的频谱宽度与相干外场的强度有密切关系。并用缀饰态理论解释了这些物理现象。这些研究对多通道光通信以及对原子光学性质的调控方面有积极意义。

Slow light in ultra-cold atomic gases

We investigate the influence of slow light with an orbital angular momentum on the mechanical motion of ultra-cold atomic gases including both the atomic Bose–Einstein condensates and degenerate Fermi gases. We present a microscopic analysis of the interplay between light and matter and show how slow light can provide an effective magnetic field acting on the electrically neutral atoms.     

Experimental investigation of light storage of diffraction-free and quasi-diffraction-free beams in hot atomic gas cell

In this article we report on the experimental investigation of light storage for several types of diffractionfree beams (Bessel and Airy beams) and quasi-diffraction-free beams by utilizing electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) technique in a hot atomic gas cell. The experimental results show that the diffraction-free and quasi-diffraction-free beams have better storage performances when compared with ordinary images possessing similar spatial profiles. Meanwhile, the Bessel beams and the quasidiffraction-free images are able to maintain their spatial profiles with a long storage time while the sidelobes of the Airy beam are gradually depleted with the increment of the storage time. We quantitatively analyze the storage results and give physical explanations behind these phenomena. Furthermore, the self-healing of the retrieved diffraction-free beams is verified, signifying that their characteristics preserve well after storage.     

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.
