Noise properties of electromagnetically induced transparency in multi-level atomic systems

Shaozheng Jin, W. H. Burkett, Min Xiao

Published Jun 7, 1996• 0 citations

Abstract

Summary form only given. Electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) in three-level atomic systems with cw diode lasers has been experimentally investigated in recent years. The EIT effect has applications in lasing without population inversion, nonlinear optical processes, and atomic spectroscopy. In this paper we present an experimental study of noise properties of EIT processes in three-level cascade-type and /spl Lambda/-type atomic systems.

The subject of electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) is reviewed in this paper. Emphasis is placed on the experimental work reported in this field since 1990. Theoretical work is also covered, although it is not intended to review all the very numerous recent theoretical treatments on this topic. The basic physical ideas behind EIT are elucidated. The relation of EIT to other processes involving laser-induced atomic coherence, such as coherent population trapping, coherent adiabatic population transfer and lasing without inversion, is discussed. Experimental work is described covering the following topics: EIT with pulsed and continuous-wave sources, lasing without inversion, pulse propagation in a laser dressed medium and EIT in nonlinear optical processes. A full set of references and a bibliography are included.

Novel linear and nonlinear optical properties of electromagnetically induced transparency systems

Min Xiao

We describe some interesting linear and nonlinear optical properties of three-level electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) systems, such as absorption reduction, sharp dispersion change, and enhanced Kerr nonlinearity. These novel optical properties are very useful in enhancing efficient nonlinear optical processes, which can find applications in optoelectronic devices. We present some experiments done in our group in the past few years with three-level atomic systems, especially more recent experiments with EIT medium inside an optical cavity.

Polarization dependence of Electromagnetic Induced Transparency in multilevel cascade system

Vineet Bharti, Ajay Wasan

A theoretical model using density matrix approach has been presented to show the polarization dependence of Electromagnetically Induced Transparency (EIT) in cascade multilevel atomic system. EIT has already been investigated both theoretically and experimentally by using three-level system in lambda (Λ), vee (V), and cascade (Ξ) configurations. However there is asymmetry in absorption measurement. To understand this asymmetry we introduce hyperfine levels in EIT cascade system. We present a five-level atomic system, which is a simple case of87Rb. This study has been extended to investigate the polarization dependence of probe and control lasers on EIT. It has been observed that there is significant change in transparency window for different laser polarizations.

Propagation of a laser pulse in a three-level cascade atomic medium under conditions of electromagnetically induced transparency

Nguyen Huy Bang, Minh Dong Hoang, Van Doai Le +2 more

We study the propagation dynamics of a single pair of probe and coupling laser pulses in a three-level cascade atomic medium by numerical solving the Maxwell-Bloch equations for atoms and fields. Influences of the pulse durations, intensity and pulse area of the coupling laser on the probe laser propagation are investigated. We found the conditions that the undistorted probe pulse in such medium, i.e., the EIT effect is established. Under EIT conditions, the ground state population is trapped in a dark state.
