Bichromatic Coherent Population Trapping Under Hanle Configuration

We report the observation of bichromatic coherent population trapping under the transition ^87 RbFg = 1 → Fc = 0 with two linearly polarized laser beams by means of a Hanle effect configuration. The mechanism behind this effect is identified, and numerical solutions for the pump rates equations are presented.     

Light-shift induced by two unbalanced spontaneous decay rates in EIT (CPT) spectroscopies under Ramsey pulse excitation

Light shift is important and inevitably affects the long-term stability of an atomic clock. In this work, considering two unbalanced branches of the spontaneous decay rate in a three-level system, we studied the frequency shifts of electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) and coherent population trapping (CPT) clocks operating under the pulse sequence regime by numerically solving the Liouville density matrix equations. The results show that the frequency shifts are larger when the two branches of spontaneous emission rate are not equal compared to the equal case. In addition, in EIT-Ramsey, the effect of the unbalanced branches of the spontaneous decay rate and relaxations of low-energy states on the frequency shift is greater than that of Rabi frequency. In CPT-Ramsey, the relaxations of low-energy states play a dominant role in frequency shift.     

Temperature Dependence of Dark Lines in Coherent Population Trapping

We measure the signal amplitude and linewidth of a dark line in coherent population trapping in the Rb vapour cell filled with mixed buffer gas N2 and Ar as a function of cell temperature. We find that the dark line signal amplitude increases with temperature up to a maximum at 49℃ and then drops at higher temperatures due to quenching effects of N2. The linewidth of the dark line remains basically constant, at 1080 Hz. We also measure the linewidth of the dark line as a function of laser intensity. The linewidth increases linearly with laser intensity. An intrinsic linewidth （FWHM=896 Hz at 3.4 GHz） of the Rb cell is obtained.     

Transparency and Strong Gain Without Population Inversion in Photonic Bandgap Crystals

Without using the weak-field approximation,we investigate the transient properties of a Λ-type atom with one transition near resonant with a photonic bandgap edge.Whatever the initial state of the atom is,the atom can become transparent to a probe field,and strong gain without population inversion is also possible if the atom has been pre-excited.The defect mode formed by atomic doping can have a strong effect on the absorption properties of the atom.     

表面等离子共振现象的新应用——微弱磁场的测量

提出了一种新的表面等离子体共振传感器, 它包含三层结构: 棱镜、金属薄膜及二能级介质. 通过理论分析发现, 与通常表面等离子体共振系统不同, 这一物理系统中同时存在两种共振效应 (表面等离子体共振和能级间量子跃迁的共振效应), 它们共同作用的结果导致一系列新的物理现象, 其中一个令人感兴趣的现象是入射光的反射率对外场导致的微小能级移动十分敏感 (这一现象是通常的表面等离子体共振系统所不具有的). 由于能级移动依赖于外场, 所以最终入射光的反射率对外场具有灵敏的响应. 本文以外磁场导致能级移动的情况进行了理论计算, 结果表明, 这种表面等离子体共振系统的入射光的反射率对外加磁场极其敏感. 这一特性可以用来测量物质表面附近的微弱磁场, 有可能发展成为一种新型检测技术.

Saturation of biphoton generation near atomic resonance

We have numerically investigated the biphoton generation rate as a function of several parameters in the spontaneous four-wave mixing in cold atoms.It has been found that the biphoton generation rate can easily reach saturation with the intensity of the coupling laser increasing.The saturation intensity is mainly dependent on the dephasing rate of the ground states,unrelated to the pumping laser.It implies that though the biphoton waveform can be manipulated by the coupling laser,the generation rate of the biphoton cannot increase markedly after the saturation.The saturation effect also suggests that there is an optimal coupling laser for obtaining the largest biphoton generation rate with a sufficiently long coherence time.
