Abstract

Dispersion and absorption properties of a weak probe field in a three-level V-type atomic system is studied. By application of indirect incoherent pump fields the effect of populating upper levels on optical properties of the atomic medium in presence of a strong coherent pump field is investigated. It is shown that the slope of dispersion changes from positive to negative just by changing the intensity of the coherent or indirect incoherent pump fields. It is demonstrated that the absorption-free subluminal and superluminal light propagation appears in this system.

Gain-assisted superluminal light propagation via incoherent pumping field

Mohammad Mahmoudi, S. W. Rabiei, L. Safari +1 more

We investigate the dispersion and the absorption properties of a weak field in a three-level Λ and V-type atomic system. We use just an incoherent pumping field to control the group velocity of a light pulse. The slope of dispersion is shown to be changed from positive to negative just by varying the intensity of the indirect incoherent pumping field. Gain-assisted superluminal light propagation appears in this system. No laser field is used in the pumping processes.

Subluminal to superluminal light propagation in a V-type three-level atomic system interacting with squeezed vacuum

Qin Zhang, Guanghui Qu, Yuan-He Tang +2 more

We study the light propagation properties in a V-type three-level atomic system interacting with two independent broadband squeezed baths. Using the graphic method, the dependences of the absorption and the dispersion of the system on the coupling field strength, the incoherent pumping field strength and the intensity of the squeezed vacuum are analysed. The result shows that the probe pulse propagation can be changed from subluminal to superluminal speed.

Analysis of light propagation in an anomalously dispersive medium

P A Grochowska, Sylwia Zielińska‐Raczyńska

We analyse the propagation of a probe laser pulse though a medium of atoms in the double Λ configuration with two closely spaced upper levels. The medium is irradiated with a strong coherent field and is additionally incoherently pumped. Depending on the parameters of the system the dispersion of the medium may change alternatively from normal to anomalous with absorption varying from positive to negative (gain). The incoherent optical pump was found to be the switch between the sub- and the superluminal regime. A laser field propagating through such an optical system can experience alternatively the negative or positive group velocity. The dynamics of propagation in the case of positive but larger than c group velocities is investigated in particular. In this paper we show how the description in terms of the group velocity breaks down in the superluminal regime.

Group velocity control in a four level system through interacting dark resonances

Kh. Saaidi, S. Dehnar Sydid, S. W. Rabiei

We investigate dispersion and absorption properties of a weak probe field in a four level atomic system through interacting dark resonances. We show that two narrow peaks appears in the optical spectra due to the presence of interacting dark resonances. This two narrow peaks leads to the superluminal light propagation with strong absorption. However, if a weak incoherent pump field is exerted to the probe transition, then the peaks structures can be changed such that two absorption peaks transformed to two gain deeps. We Show that both subluminal and superluminal light propagation occur in this system, where controlled by the incoherent pumping strength.

Subluminal and superluminal light propagation in two kinds of V-type system

Olimpia Budrigă

We study the change of the probe field group velocity from subluminal to superluminal range for two kinds of closed three-level V-type system with spontaneously generated coherence and incoherent pumping field. For the first kind of the V-type system we deduce the analytical formula of the group velocity, while for the second kind of the V-type system we solve numerically the density matrix equations system and apply it to a real system from the LiH molecule. We find that the group index of the probe field can be changed from positive to negative within the appropriate choice of the relative phase between the probe and coupling field phases, the incoherent pumping rate and probe detuning.
