铷原子耦合光频率近共振时的电磁感应透明

研究了Λ型能级系统中, ⁸⁵Rb原子在耦合光频率失谐较小时的电磁感应透明(EIT)现象. 实验中, 随着耦合光频率失谐量的增加, 电磁感应透明窗口的绝对强度有所减弱, 但是其相对深度却有所增加, 透明窗口相对深度最大的位置不在耦合光频率共振处, 而是在耦合光频率失谐约180 MHz的位置. 用三能级和四能级系统的理论分别对实验结果进行对比分析, 发现用四能级系统的理论进行拟合的结果与实验符合得比较好. 对此, 我们提出当耦合光频率失谐较小时, EIT信号是两个激发态共同作用的结果, 并用四能级系统的理论分析了两个激发态之间的能级间隔对透明窗口相对深度最大值位置的影响.     

计及声子辅助跃迁的单量子点中的非线性法拉第偏转

利用一束弱线性π偏振探测光在与其平行的磁场作用下所形成的两偏振分量,在半导体单量子点中考虑声子辅助跃迁去构建环形四能级电磁感应透明介质模型.利用多重尺度法,解析研究发现:仅考虑系统的线性效应,随着耦合光强度的增加,介质对探测光的吸收迅速减少,形成透明窗口,并且透明窗口的宽度随之增大;进一步地,在相同的外加磁场下探测光的非线性法拉第偏转方向与线性法拉第偏转相反,且偏转角更大.随着声子辅助跃迁强度的增加,线性和非线性法拉第偏转角都会逐渐变小,并且非线性法拉第偏转角减小的更多.这说明系统中的声子辅助跃迁能有效地调制探测光的法拉第偏转.我们的研究可能对于弱光条件下的光信息处理和传输具有潜在的应用价值.     

Ultraslow optical solitons in a four-level tripod atomic system

We investigate possible formation and propagation of localized, shape-preserving nonlinear optical pulse in a resonant, lifetime-broadened four-level tripod atomic system via electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT). We prove both analytically and numerically that although in anomalous dispersion regimes near resonance a superluminal optical soliton may appear, such soliton suffers serious absorption. However, by choosing appropriate parameters to make the system work in normal dispersion regimes and within an EIT transparency window, ultraslow optical solitons with very low light intensity can form and propagate stably in the system.     

Linear Growth of Continuous-Wave Four-Wave Mixing with Dual Induced Transparency

Using Schrödinger-Maxwell formalism, we propose and analyze an optical four-wave mixing (FWM) scheme for the generation of coherent light in a coherent six-level atomic medium based on dual electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT). We show that the significantly enhanced conversion efficiency enabled by ultraslow propagation of pump waves has no direct relationship with the single-photon detuning, which is different from the FWM with a single EIT. The most important feature is that our scheme is also capable of inhibiting and delaying the onset of the detrimental three-photon destructive interference that looks like a recent scheme [Phys. Rev. Lett. 91 (2003) 243902] and may be used for generating short-wave-length coherent radiation.     

Stopping light via hot atoms

We prove that it is possible to freeze a light pulse (i.e., to bring it to a full stop) or even to make its group velocity negative in a coherently driven Doppler broadened atomic medium via electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT). This remarkable phenomenon of the ultraslow EIT polariton is based on the spatial dispersion of the refraction index n(omega,k), i.e., its wave number dependence, which is due to atomic motion and provides a negative contribution to the group velocity. This is related to, but qualitatively different from, the recently observed light slowing caused by large temporal (frequency) dispersion.     

Inhibiting the onset of the three-photon destructive interference in ultraslow propagation-enhanced four-wave mixing with dual induced transparency

We propose a dual electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) based multiwave mixing scheme that retains the significantly enhanced conversion efficiency enabled by ultraslow propagation of pump waves, yet is also capable of inhibiting and delaying the onset of the detrimental three-photon destructive interference that limits the further growth of the four-wave mixing (FWM) field. We show that the new scheme exhibits a wave-matching condition that is fundamentally different from the conventional FWM without EIT, and the efficient generation of the mixing wave is not critically dependent upon the FWM detuning to achieve constructive interference as required in the conventional FWM. These are significant steps forward in enabling applications of ultraslow wave nonlinear optics.     

Two-dimensional vector solitons in a cold atomic gas via electromagnetically induced transparency

We investigate the formation and propagation of vector vortex solitons (VSs) and unipolar solitons (USs) in a cold coherent atomic gas with a Bessel lattice (BL). The system considered is a gas with a tripod level configuration. Owing to the big enhancement of Kerr nonlinearity contributed by the electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT), a weak vector vortex soliton can be effectively formed with ultraslow propagation velocity. We also demonstrate that the characteristics of two-dimensional VSs and USs can be controlled and manipulated by adjusting the parameters of BL. Results obtained may be useful for designing all-optical switches at low light levels.     

Electromagnetically induced transparency with squeezed vacuum

The squeezed vacuum resonant on the (87)Rb D1 line (probe light) was injected into an optically dense rubidium gas cell with a coherent light (control light). The output probe light maintained its quadrature squeezing within the transparency window caused by the electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT). The results reported here are the first realization of EIT in the full quantum regime.     

Quantum study of information delay in electromagnetically induced transparency

Using electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT), it is possible to delay and store light in atomic ensembles. Theoretical modeling and recent experiments have suggested that the EIT storage mechanism can be used as a memory for quantum information. We present experiments that quantify the noise performance of an EIT system for conjugate amplitude and phase quadratures. It is shown that our EIT system adds excess noise to the delayed light that has not hitherto been predicted by published theoretical modeling. In analogy with other continuous-variable quantum information systems, the performance of our EIT system is characterized in terms of conditional variance and signal transfer.     

Ultraslow optical waveguiding in an atomic Bose-Einstein condensate

We investigate waveguiding of ultraslow light pulses in an atomic Bose-Einstein condensate. We show that under the conditions of off-resonant electromagnetically induced transparency, waveguiding with a few ultraslow modes can be realized. The number of modes that can be supported by the condensate can be controlled by means of experimentally accessible parameters. Propagation constants and the mode conditions are determined analytically using a Wentzel-Kramers-Brillouin analysis. Mode profiles are found numerically.     

Nonlinear optical responses due to exciton-phonon interactions in strongly coupled exciton-phonon systems

The excitonic nonlinear optical responses due to exciton-phonon interactions in strongly coupled exciton-phonon systems are investigated theoretically. It is shown that the influence of exciton-phonon interactions on the nonlinear optical absorptions and Kerr nonlinear coefficients is significant as the signal field frequency detuning from the exciton frequency approaches to the optical phonon frequency. How to manipulate the nonlinear optical responses by using the control fields is also presented.Received: 16 March 2004, Published online: 4 May 2004PACS: 42.50.Gy Effects of atomic coherence on propagation, absorption, and amplification of light; electromagnetically induced transparency and absorption - 42.50.Hz Strong-field excitation of optical transitions in quantum systems; multiphoton processes; dynamic Stark shift - 42.25.Bs Wave propagation, transmission and absorption - 72.80.Le Polymers; organic compounds (including organic semiconductors)
