凝聚体中亮孤子和暗孤子的交替演化

利用Darboux变换法，解析地研究了局限于恒定不变外部势阱中的玻色-爱因斯坦凝聚体的非线性动力学性质.结果发现凝聚体中的粒子之间的相互作用强度对其非线性动力学特征有重要的影响.当玻色子之间的相互排斥作用相当强时，凝聚体中只会存在亮孤子；而玻色子之间的相互排斥作用相当弱(小于临界值)时，凝聚体中会出现亮孤子和暗孤子交替演化. 关键词： 玻色-爱因斯坦凝聚 Darboux变换 孤子     

暗-暗与亮-暗光伏孤子相互作用

用数值方法分析了平行传播异色光伏暗孤子之间及亮-暗孤子之间的相互作用.结果表明，光伏暗孤子共轴传播能在有限的距离内保持准孤子形态，靠近传播时存在着相互吸引的作用 ，而相距较远传播时表现为一孤子暗区使另一孤子的缓变光场部分发生局部会聚作用.光伏暗孤子与亮孤子的相互作用随距离的不同可使亮孤子光强分布变尖锐或变平缓，以及使亮孤子发生能量转移.从两束信号光共同引起折射率波导这一物理机理对光伏孤子这些相互作用给出定性物理解释. 关键词： 光伏空间孤子 暗孤子 亮孤子 相互作用     

Quantum state manipulation of single-Cesium-atom qubit in a micro-optical trap

Based on single Cesium atoims trapped in a 1064 nm microscopic optical trap we have exhibited a single qubit encoded in the Cesium ＂clock states＂. The single qubit initialization, detection and the fast state rotation with high efficiencies are demonstrated and this state manipulation is crucial for quantmn information processing. The ground ~ates Rabi flopping rate of 229.0 ± 0.6 kHz is realized hy a two-photon Raman process. A clock states dephasing time of 3.0 ± 0.7 ms is measured, while all irreversible homogeneous dephasing time of 124 ± 17 ms is achieved by using the spin-echo technique. This well-controlled single atom provides an ideal quantmn qubit and quantmn node for quantum information processing.     

Tunneling-induced ultraslow bright and dark solitons in quantum wells

We show the formation of tunneling-induced ultraslow bright and dark solitons in an asymmetric double-quantumwell structure based on the tunneling induced transparency.In this semiconductor structure,the pump field is replaced by the electron-tunneling coupling,which can be modulated by a static electric field.With appropriate conditions,we demonstrate by modulating the intensity of the static electric field that the interplay between the group velocity dispersion and the self-Kerr nonlinearity results in the generation of dark and bright solitons with ultraslow group velocity.     

Optical bright and dark states in side-coupled resonator structures

We analyze side-coupled standing-wave cavity structures consisting of Fabry-Perot and photonic crystal resonators coupled to two waveguides. We show that optical bright and dark states, analogous to those observed in coherent light-matter interactions, can exist in these systems. These structures may be useful for variable, switchable delay lines.     

Inter-state coupling and definitions of bright and dark states

Contrary to a standard definition of diabatic states (i.e., those without momentum-dependent coupling), based on the construction from adiabatic ones, we defined diabatic states as bright and dark states of a given experiment. Namely, they are defined as states providing maximum, respectively, zero value of electronic transition dipole moments projected to a given polarization vector. Second, the state from (or to) which the optical transition is performed is not from the space of investigated electronic excited state manifold, but it is chosen by the observer. It is shown, for this case, that the inter-state coupling is a general function of vibrational coordinates. The explicit dependence of the inter-state coupling on vibrational coordinates is particularly important for system with strong Stokes shift. The role of exact definitions of bright and dark states as well as the inter-state coupling is discussed with respect to the coherent structure of electronic population observed in optical spectroscopy.

Optical near-field mapping of bright and dark quantum dot states

We theoretically investigate scanning near-field optical microscopy (SNOM) of semiconductor quantum dots. A general theoretical framework is developed that accounts for photo excitation and relaxation in complex dielectric environments. We find that in the near-field regime bright and dark excitonic states become mixed, opening new channels for the coupling to the electromagnetic field.     

The bright and dark photon number states in Young’s interference experiment

In this paper, we derive the bright and dark photon number states for spatial interference of two or more light beams and succeed in the explanation of Young's interference experiment, and also achieve a better comprehension of the well known comment of Dirac "each photon only interferences with itself". Prom the fully quantum point of view, the origin of the interference fringes consists in the mode transformation and the detection of double-slit states.     

Ultraslow bright and dark optical solitons in a cold three-state medium

We show the formation of ultraslow bright and dark optical solitons in a lifetime-broadened three-state atomic system under Raman excitation. We also discuss why such ultraslow optical solitons may not exist under the conditions of the usual electromagnetically induced transparency configuration where zero one- and two-photon detunings are required.     

Dynamically compressed bright and dark solitons in highly anisotropic Bose-Einstein condensates

Bright and dark matter wave solitons are constructed analytically in a three-dimensional (3D) highly anisotropic Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) with a time-dependent parabolic potential, and numerical simulations are performed to confirm the existence and dynamics of such analytical solutions. Different classes of bright and dark solitons are discovered among the solutions of the generalized anisotropic (3+1)D Gross-Pitaevskii equation. Our results demonstrate that the bright and dark solitary waves can be manipulated and controlled by changing the scattering length, which can be used to compress the second-order bright and dark solitons of BECs into desired peak density.     

Spatial weak infrared-light bright and dark solitons in semiconductor quantum-dot nanostructures

The formation of spatial weak infrared-light solitons through interband and intersubband transitions in semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) is theoretically investigated with feasible parameters. Our analysis is shown using GaAs-Al-GaAs QD structures that allow operation at communication wavelength. Such a three-level QD solid-state system for the infrared-light-soliton operation is much more practical than that in gaseous media as a result of its flexible design and the wide adjustable parameters and thus facilitate more practical applications in optical signal processing and telecommunication.     

Exact solutions for bright and dark solitons in spatially inhomogeneous nonlinearity

We present exact analytical results for bright and dark solitons in a type of one-dimensional spatially inhomogeneous nonlinearity. We show that the competition between a homogeneous self-defocusing (SDF) nonlinearity and a localized self-focusing (SF) nonlinearity supports stable fundamental bright solitons. For a specific choice of the nonlinear parameters, exact analytical solutions for fundamental bright solitons have been obtained. By applying both variational approximation and Vakhitov-Kolokolov stability criterion, it is found that exact fundamental bright solitons are stable. Our analytical results are also confirmed numerically. Additionally, we show that a homogeneous SF nonlinearity modulated by a localized SF nonlinearity allows the existence of exact dark solitons, for certain special cases of nonlinear parameters. By making use of linear stability analysis and direct numerical simulation, it is found that these exact dark solitons are linearly unstable.     

亮暗屏蔽光伏孤子在LiNbO3晶体中的大自偏转

用数值方法证实了亮、暗屏蔽光伏孤子在有外加电场的LiNbO3晶体中都可以发生大自偏转,并验证了这种自偏转现象不但与晶体中受主浓度NA有关而且还与外加电场E0有关.在E0相同的条件下,NA越小这种自偏转现象越明显,在NA相同的条件下,风越大自偏转现象越明显.还发现亮、暗屏蔽光伏孤子的自偏转现象不同:亮屏蔽光伏孤子整体都发生明显偏转,暗屏蔽光伏孤子的偏转只是发生在一侧,其极值位置和另一侧几乎不发生偏转.

Investigation of ultracold atoms and molecules in a dark magneto-optical trap

In this paper,ultracold atoms and molecules in a dark magneto-optical trap(MOT) are studied via depumping the cesium cold atoms into the dark hyperfine ground state.The collision rate is reduced to 0.45s-1 and the density of the atoms is increased to 5.6×1011cm-3 when the fractional population of the atoms in the bright hyperfine ground state is as low as 0.15.The vibrational spectra of the ultracold cesium molecules are also studied in a standard MOT and in a dark MOT separately.The experimental results are analyzed by using the perturbative quantum approach.     

Multiple bright and dark soliton solutions in three component spinor Bose-Einstein condensates

We investigate a quasi one dimensional spin-1 Bose-Einstein Condensates (BEC) in the absence of an external confinement governed by a system of three coupled Gross-Pitaevskii (GP) equation. Based on the Lax-pair, we construct one soliton solution employing gauge transformation method. In addition, the multiple bright and dark soliton solutions are obtained by properly choosing amplitude dependent parameter in the Lax-pair. The results of the paper emphasizes the richness in the structure of soliton solutions admitted by the spin components, a phenomenon which has never been brought out to the fore. We have also extended the gauge transformation method to generate two soliton solutions.     

Role of bright and dark excitons in the temperature-dependent photoluminescence of carbon nanotubes

We report studies of the temperature dependence of the photoluminescence efficiency of single walled carbon nanotubes which demonstrate the role of bright and dark excitons. This is determined by the energy splitting of the excitons combined with 1-D excitonic properties. The splitting of the bright and dark singlet exciton states is found to be only a few meV and is very strongly diameter dependent for diameters in the range 0.8-1.2 nm. The luminescence intensities are also found to be strongly enhanced by magnetic fields at low temperatures due to mixing of the exciton states.     

Spatial bright–dark soliton steering through waveguide coupling

Analytical and numerical solutions that describe the coupling between bright and dark spatial solitons, located in separate planar waveguides are presented. The analytical theory rests upon a well-known variational approach and it is shown to be in good qualitative/semi-quantitative agreement with the exact numerical solutions of the coupled equations of the problem. By manipulating the soliton ‘masses’, through the input power, interesting trajectories for the solitons can be selected. Indeed, these trajectories are shown to possess behaviour patterns that qualify as the first steps in a design of an all-optical scanner. At all stages, the variational solutions are thoroughly checked by the numerical simulations and found to have excellent predictive qualities.
