冷铷原子样品中高效静态光信号的生成与调制

为了提高光信息处理元件的性能,实现高效率光信号的静止与存储,本文建立了由双向耦合场耦合的冷铷（87Rb）原子的四能级双Λ型能级机制,并对此机制在生成静态光信号时要求的高效性、持续时间,控制耦合场所需的操作条件以及对信号场强度的相位调制等进行了研究。首先,选取四能级双Λ型87Rb冷原子精细能级,用一对反向传播的行波激光场对能级进行近共振耦合,并沿耦合场方向输入一个正向弱光信号进行探测。接着,通过适当的绝热开启、关闭耦合场,存储光信号和生成高保真度静态光信号。然后,通过选取87Rb原子的不同精细能级结构,得出实现静态光所需满足的必要条件。最后,采用相位调制法对光信号进行处理。结果表明：生成的静态光信号具有高效性,过程持续时间约为80μs;相位调制法可以周期调节静态光脉冲的强度。在此机制下生成的静态光信号满足高效性、易于全光调节和长时效性等要求。     

Modulation of atomic exit and injection rates on the phase-dependent gain without inversion in a Doppler broadened open four-level system

It is shown that in a Doppler broadened open N-type four-level atomic system with spontaneously generated coherence (SGC), the gain without inversion (GWI) is very sensitive to the variation of the relative phase between the probe field and the driving field; the atomic exit rate (R0) and the ratio (S) of the atomic injection rates have a considerable modulation effect on the phase-dependent GWI. GWI first increases and then decreases with R0 increasing; in a certain value range of S, GWI increases monotonically with S increasing; by adjusting the values of R0 and S, in an open system a much larger GWI can be obtained than in the corresponding closed system [2011 Phys. Rev. A 83 043805]. The modulation effects of R0 and S on the phase-dependent GWI in the case with the counter-propagating probe and driving fields are stronger than those in the co-propagating case, GWI in the co-propagating case is much larger than that in the counter-propagating case.     

Four-level model of ion-ion laser-induced collisional energy transfer and numerical calculations for Ca~+-Sr~+ system

The four-level model of laser-induced collisional energy transfer(LICET) for the ion-ion collision system is established based on the time-dependent Schro¨dinger equation for the electron dynamics,through which the equations of motion of the probability amplitudes and cross section of the collision system are obtained.Numerical calculations are performed for the Ca+-Sr+ system,with the results showing that the peak of the LICET spectrum appears at a resonant frequency of the transfer laser.The magnitude of the obtained collision cross section is in the order of 10 16 cm2,and is comparable to that obtained in atomic systems,which indicates the validity of the established four-level model.     

Multiformity of Optical Quantum Coherence Systems with Y and Inverted Y-type Schemes

Y and inverted Y-type four-level schemes for optical quantum coherencesystems, which may be intuitively considered to be very simple, have notbeen studied intensively till now. In this paper, we present themultiformity of these two types of schemes by considering that they can beclassified into nine possible level styles as the second-order sub-schemesusing laser fields. Further we point out the complexity of their more thanone hundred realistic configurations as the third-order four-levelsub-schemes that may appear in the optical quantum coherence experiments.Throughout this paper we review which configurations have been studied insome research aspects and which ones not, according to our knowledge, inorder to be propitious to next steps of theoretical and experimentalinvestigations, especially for applications in the fields of quantum optics,quantum information science, laser spectroscopy, and so on.     

轴向隐失波激励的回音壁模式光纤激光器

采用轴向隐失波激励增益的方式,使激光增益区域局限在光纤回音壁模式的模场区域内,显著地降低了回音壁模式光纤激光辐射的抽运阈值,由此形成一种低阈值的回音壁模式光纤激光器.在微焦耳量级的低抽运能量条件下,用回音壁模式光纤激光器研究了激光染料的浓度效应.实验结果表明,随着激光染料浓度的增加,回音壁模式激光辐射的波长向长波方向移动,激光波长范围变宽.用回音壁模式染料激光的四能级模型得到激光上能级和所有能级上的分子数比值γ(λ)曲线后,很好地解释了实验结果.低抽运阈值的回音壁模式光纤激光器,为研究液体激光现象提供了极为便利的手段.     

Y型四能级系统中Doppler展宽对真空诱导相干性相关的探测场吸收的影响

利用数值计算结果,讨论了在Y型四能级原子系统中Doppler展宽对与真空诱导相干性(VIC) 相关的探测场吸收性质的影响.研究结果表明: 当无Doppler展宽时,只有不存在VIC时才可能产生电磁感应透明(EIT)现象; VIC将导致探测场吸收的明显改变和增益产生;在VIC存在和不存在两种情况中,吸收曲线都具有关于探测场失谐对称的双峰结构. 当有Doppler展宽时,在VIC存在和不存在两种情况中都能产生EIT现象; VIC仍将导致探测场吸收的明显改变和增益产生;不管是否存在VIC,探测场吸收都具有以下特征:吸收曲线不再具有关于探测场失谐的对称性且随Doppler展宽宽度(D)值的增大而逐渐从双峰结构变为单峰结构,探测场吸收不随D值的增大而单调增大或减小,在探测场和驱动场的传播方向相反时可获得比传播方向相同时更小的探测场吸收.
