Effects of Atomic Coherence and Injected Classical Field on Chaotic Dynamics of Non-degenerate Cascade Two-Photon Lasers

Based on the cascade two-photon laser dynamic equation derived with the technique of quantum Langevin operators with the considerations of coherently prepared three-level atoms and the classical field injected into the cavity, we numerically study the effects of atomic coherence and classical field on the chaotic dynamics of a two-photon laser. Lyapunov exponent and bifurcation diagram calculations show that the Lorenz chaos and hyperchaos can be induced or inhibited by the atomic coherence and the classical field via crisis or Hopf bifurcations.     

Quantum coherence preservation of atom with a classical driving field under non-Markovian environment

The exact dynamics of an open quantum system consisting of one qubit driven by a classical driving field is investigated. Our attention is focused on the influences of single-and two-photon excitations on the dynamics of quantum coherence and quantum entanglement. It is shown that the atomic coherence can be improved or even maintained by the classical driving field, the non-Markovian effect, and the atom-reservoir detuning. The interconversion between the atomic coherence and the atom-reservoir entanglement exists and can be controlled by the appropriate conditions. The conservation of coherence for different partitions is explored, and the dynamics of a system with two-photon excitations is different from the case of single-photon excitation.     

Preparation of steady-state entanglement via a laser-excited resonant interaction

In this paper we propose a scheme in which two-mode entanglement in a steady state is produced by using two lasers to resonantly drive a single four-level atom embedded inside a two-mode optical cavity.In this scheme,atomic coherence induced by a classical laser plays an important role in the process of preparing the entangled state.With the coupling of a strong control field,direct two-photon transition is generated and the relatively weak pump field induces the parametric interaction between two photons,which makes them entangle with each other.By numerical calculation,we find that the degree of entanglement depends strongly on the Rabi frequencies of the classical laser fields and the cavity losses.     

Dynamic Equations and Nonlinear Dynamics of Cascade Two-Photon Laser

We derive equations and study nonlinear dynamics of cascade two-photon laser, in which the electromagnetic field in the cavity is driven by coherently prepared three-level atoms and classical field injected into the cavity. The dynamic equations of such a system are derived by using the technique of quantum Langevin operators, and then are studied numerically under different driving conditions. The results show that under certain conditions the cascade two-photon laser can generate chaotic, period doubling, periodic, stable and bistable states. Chaos can be inhibited by atomic populations, atomic coherences, and injected classical field. In addition, no chaos occurs in optical bistability.     

The effect of degenerate atomic levels on the field state dissipation in two—photon Jaynes—Cummings model

The dissipation of the field in the two-photonJaynes-Cummings model (JCM) with degenerate atomic levels was studied.The initial degenerate atomic state affects the field coherence loss,when the degenerate atom is initially in an equal probability superposition state,the field coherence loss is smallest,It is found that the degeneracy of the atomic level increases the period of entanglement between the atom and the field.When the degeneracy was considered,the coherence properties of the field could be affected by the reservoir qualitatively,if a nonlinear two-photon process is involved.This is different from the dissipation of one-photon JCM with degenerate atomic levels.

Atomic coherence control on the entanglement of two atoms in two-photon processes

Considering two identical two-level atoms interacting with a single-mode thermal field through two-photon processes, this paper studies the atomic coherence control on the entanglement between two two-level atoms, and finds that the entanglement is greatly enhanced due to the initial atomic coherence. The results show that the entanglement can be manipulated by changing the initial parameters of the system, such as the superposition coefficients and the relative phases of the initial atomic coherent state and the mean photon number of the cavity field.     

Effects of Vacuum-Induced Coherence on One- and Two-Photon Absorption Spectra of Transient Process in a Y-Type System

We investigate the influence of the vacuum-induced coherence on one- and two-photon absorption of the transient process in a four-level Y-type atomic system. We find that the one- and two-photon transient absorption and amplification properties are quite sensitive to the vacuum-induced coherence. It is also shown that the one- and two-photon absorption spectra of the transient process can be dramatically affected by modulating the relative phase of the applied fields. By appropriately choosing the relative phase, the amplification of the probe field can be achieved.     

Steady-state populations of a driven three-level atom in a broad-band squeezed vacuum

A theoretical study is made of the steady-state populations of a three-level atom in a ladder configuration, driven by a superposition of a monochromatic laser wave with a broad-band squeezed vacuum. The master equation for the system and the atomic Bloch equations are derived. The steady-state populations are calculated numerically and shown graphically as functions of two-photon detuning for various cases of the squeezed vacuum. It is shown that, the atomic populations depend strongly on the relative phase of the driving field and the squeezed vacuum. When the phase matching condition is fulfilled, there will be a strong two-photon resonant absorption from the squeezed vacuum, a characteristic different from absorption of photons from a classical field.

Absorption Changes Induced by Off-Resonance Driving a Degenerate Two-Level System

The alteration of atomic absorption via quantum coherence is observed in the degenerate two-level atomic system. It is shown that when the detuning of coupling field equals to that of probe light, i.e. two-photon resonance, the reduction of atomic absorption via electromagnetically induced transparency occurs. However, when we tune the coupling field to two-photon off-resonance, the enhancement of absorption is obtained for the probe field. The influences of one-photon detuning and intensity of coupling field on absorption are also experimentally demonstrated.

One- and two-photon absorption-amplification response in a four-level atomic system with vacuum-induced coherence

This paper theoretically studies the effects of the vacuum-induced coherence on one- and two-photon absorption in a four-level atomic medium. It finds that the one- and two-photon absorption and amplification properties are quite sensitive to the vacuum-induced coherence. It is also shown that the one- and two-photon absorption spectra can be dramatically affected by modulating the relative phase of the applied fields. With the proper choice of the relative phase, the amplification without inversion for the probe field can be realized.

Pancharatnam phase for a system of a two-level atom interacting with a quantized field in a cavity

We derive an expression for the Pancharatnam phase for the entangled state of a single two-level atom interacting with a single electromagnetic field mode in an ideal cavity with the atom undergoing either a one- or a two-photon transition. It is shown that the Pancharatnam phase explicitly contains information about the statistics of the field and atomic coherence.     

The Enhancement Absorption of Light Field Induced By Optical Radiation on the off Resonance in Cesium Vapor Cell

A large increase of atomic absorption via atomic coherence is observed in Cesium atoms in the condition of off resonance in degenerate two-level atomic systems. We show that when on resonance, the reduction of atomic absorption via EIT accured. But when we tune the coupling field on the off resonance, the enhancement of absorption via EIA is obtained for the probe field. The influences of the two-photon detuning and intensity of coupling field on the absorption are also studied experimentally.     

The influence of the dipole-dipole interaction and atomic coherence on the entanglement of two atoms with degenerate two-photon transitions

Entanglement of two artificial two-level atoms with degenerate two-photon transitions is considered in the case in which the atoms interact with the thermal single-mode field in an ideal cavity. The possibility of controlling the atomic entanglement degree in such a system due to the induction of atomic coherence and direct dipole-dipole interaction of atoms is shown.     

Two-Photon Micromaser with Initial Atomic Coherence

We investigate the quantum dynamics of a two-photon micromaser pumped by atoms injected in the superposition state of the upper and intermediate levels. We simulate a master equation governing the system by the Monte Carlo wavefunction approach and analyse the steady-state behaviour as a function of the atomic transit time. The atomic coherence can effectively enhance the intensity and sub-Poissonian of the cavity field as compared with the atomic mixture. It is also discovered that the phase of the cavity field can be shifted by adjusting the detuning between the atom and field. This result shows that it is possible to manipulate the phase of the cavity field by detuning, due to atomic coherence.
