利用腔内四能级原子相干效应实现全光学信号存储

在光学腔与四能级原子组成的非线性光学双稳系统中，利用调谐于不同能级附近的控制信号光脉冲可以使光学腔模产生“正”或“负”的非线性相移，从而实现了光学双稳迟滞曲线的受控移动及双稳“高态”与“低态”之间的可控跃变.基于上述效应，完成了光学信号的全光存储与腔输出状态的低功率控制开关.这一结果为全光及量子信息处理提供了新的可供利用的物理机制.

All-optical information memory based on coherent population trapping of four-level atoms in an optical cavity

In an optical bistability system consisting of an optical cavity and four-level atoms positive and negative phase shifts of an intracavity optical mode can be observed under the action of control signal pulses tuned close to certain energy levels of the atoms. The bistability hysteresis curve can thus be shifted and switching between the
