Coherent trapping of a three-level atom in a circularly polarized light

Using semiclassical theory, we study coherent trapping of a three-level atom, where the atom possesses a momentum of its center-of-mass motion and is irradiated only by a classical circularly polarized electromagnetic wave. We find that if the atom is initially in a coherent trapping state of it, under the zero- or first-order approximation, the atom is absolutely or nearly in the state hereafter.     

一个特殊模型中的相干布居俘获

外场作用下,对称双势阱中将发生相干布居俘获现象. 在氨分子模型中,当分子初始处在较低的本征态时,在一定的条件下激发态上将没有粒子数布居,外加光场强烈地使较低的双重态耦合在一起,且粒子数布居总保持为1,尽管此时外场与|2〉→|3〉接近共振. 这是一般模型所不能得到的结论. 关键词： 相干布居俘获 Ξ型三能级系统 双势阱

Coherent population trapping in an ensemble of three-level atoms in the presence of cooperative relaxation

We derive equations that describe the dynamics of three-level atoms with a cascade system of levels interacting with two resonant coherent fields in conditions where cooperative relaxation dominates over incoherent spontaneous emission. We calculate the temporal dynamics of the values of the atomic populations. The possibility of coherent population trapping in the presence of the cooperative decay is established. Finally, we calculate the averaged population of the intermediate level as a function of detuning for different values of the coupling constant. Zh. éksp. Teor.

Quantum coherence dynamics of a three-level atom in a two-mode field

The correlated dynamics of a three-level atom resonantly coupled to an electromagnetic cavity field is calculated (Λ, V, and L models). A diagrammatic representation of quantum dynamics is proposed for these models. As an example, Λ-atom dynamics is examined to demonstrate how the use of conventional von Neumann’s reduction leads to internal decoherence (disentanglement-induced decoherence) and to the absence of atomic coherence under multiphoton excitation. The predicted absence of atomic coherence is inconsistent with characteristics of an experimentally observed atom-photon entangled state. It is shown that the correlated reduction of a composite quantum system proposed in [18] qualitatively predicts the occurrence and evolution of atomic coherence under multiphoton excitation if a seed coherence is introduced into any subsystem (the atom or a cavity mode).

Collective radiation of a system of two three-level V-type atoms in a two-mode resonator with losses

Collective spontaneous radiation of a system of two three-level V-type atoms interacting with two modes of a quantum electromagnetic field in a resonator with finite Q-factor is investigated based on the control kinetic equation for the density matrix. Time dependences of the average number of photons and radiation intensity of each mode are derived for the case in which atoms at the initial moment of time are in different excited states. __________ Translated from Izvestiya Vysshikh Uchebnykh Zavedenii, Fizika, No. 2, pp. 78–83, February, 2006.     

Exact eigenstates for a class of models describing two-mode multiphoton processes

We present an efficient approach to studying the spectra and eigenstates for nonlinear models describing multiphoton processes. We obtain the exact explicit analytical expressions of all the energy spectra and eigenstates in terms of a parameter for a class of models describing two-mode multiphoton processes. The parameter is shown to be determined by the roots of a simple polynomial.

Engineering entanglement of a general three-level system interacting with a correlated two-mode nonlinear coherent state

In this article a treatment of a three-level atom interacting with two modes of light in a cavity with arbitrary forms of nonlinearities of both the fields and the intensity-dependent atom-field coupling is presented. A factorization of the initial density operator is assumed, with the privileged field modes being in a pair-coherent state. We derive and illustrate an exact expression for the time evolution of the density operator, by means of which we identify and numerically demonstrate the region of parameters where significantly large entanglement can be obtained. We show that entanglement can be significantly influenced by different kinds of nonlinearities. The nonlinear medium yields the superstructure of atomic Rabi oscillation. We propose a generation of Bell-type states having a simple initial state preparation of the present system.

Generation of entanglement via atomic coherence in a two-mode three-level cascade atomic system

The generation of continuous variable entanglement via atomic coherence in a two-mode three-level cascade atomic system is discussed according to the entanglement criterion proposed by Duan et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 84, 2722 (2000)]. Atomic coherence between the top and bottom levels is induced with two photons of a strong external pump field. It shows that entanglement for the two-mode field in the cavity can be generated under certain conditions. Moreover, by means of the input-output theory, we show that the two-mode entanglement could also be approached at the output.

Coherent population trapping states with cold atoms in a magnetic field

Using potassium atoms cooled with a MOT, ground-state hyperfine coherent population trapped (CPT) states were prepared in a magnetic (B) field, and the behavior of CPT states was experimentally studied. We carefully measured the preparation of the CPT state as a function of time and the CPT signal as a function of laser power. The experimental CPT signal linewidth was approximately proportional to the square root of laser intensity in the range of parameters studied, and limits of this relation were explored theoretically.     

Coherent population trapping in a gas of excited atoms

Coherent population trapping in a gas discharge was studied for transitions between excited levels of neon atoms. Resonances corresponding to the arising of coherent population trapping in the Λ and V schemes for Zeeman sublevels of the lower and upper working states were observed in the presence of a longitudinal magnetic field. The effect of nonlinear polarization plane rotation under coherent population trapping conditions was studied. The possibility of using the results obtained in this work for diagnostics of local magnetic fields and other plasma parameters in gas discharges was considered.     

Light transmission by a three-level emitter embedded in a waveguide-coupled two-mode photonic crystal nanocavity

We investigate light transmission obtained from a three-level V-type emitter embedded in a waveguide-coupled two-mode photonic crystal nanocavity operating in the weak-coupling regime. It is shown that the composite system exhibits double electromagnetically-induced-transparency-like characteristics and a π phase shift while not suffering from absorption in the experimentally available parameter range. The double-frequency transparency of the input light expands the frequency range of EIT and may improve the controllability of EIT. The proposed scheme also provides a way to achieve integrated photonic devices on a chip for applications requiring multiple EIT effect.     

Role of saturation in the multiphoton transitions

The effects of a medium (of collisions) on the probability for two-photon absorption in a three-level system are analyzed. It is shown qualitatively that saturation can occur, under conditions more stringent than for one-photon saturation. A possible mechanism for lowering the population state of the radiation flux during multiphoton ionization is discussed.Translated from Izvestiya Vysshikh Uchebnykh Zavedenii Fizika, No. 11, pp. 79–83, November, 1969.     

Coherent control of a V-type three-level system in a single quantum dot

In a semiconductor quantum dot, the IIx and IIy transitions to the polarization eigenstates, |x> and |y>, naturally form a three-level V-type system. Using low-temperature polarized photoluminescence spectroscopy, we have investigated the exciton dynamics arising under strong laser excitation. We also explicitly solved the density matrix equations for comparison with the experimental data. The polarization of the exciting field controls the coupling between the otherwise orthogonal states. In particular, when the system is initialized into \Y>, a polarization-tailored pulse can swap the population into |x>, and vice versa, effectively operating on the exciton spin.
