Phase control of group velocity: From subluminal to superluminal light propagation

D. Bortman-Arbiv, A. D. Wilson‐Gordon, Harry Friedmann

We show that the group velocity of a weak pulse can be manipulated by controlling the phases of two weak optical fields applied to a V-shaped three-level system. Such control can even cause the probe propagation to change from subluminal to superluminal. We consider two schemes: in the first, the excited states are coupled by decay-induced coherence, which is an inherent property of the medium, and in the second, quantum coherence is created by coupling the excited states to each other by a strong microwave field. We also discuss the group velocity reduction experienced by a single weak propagating probe due to decay-induced coherence.

Pulse propagation in atomic media in the triangular configuration

Jakub Korociński, Andrzej Raczyński, Jarosław Zaremba +1 more

Weak probe-pulse propagation is studied in a three-level atomic system irradiated by a strong control laser field and a strong microwave field in the closed-loop triangular (Δ) configuration. In addition to the direct absorption channel, a second channel is activated in which a probe photon’s absorption is replaced by its emission accompanied by an absorption of two control and two microwave photons. The pulse can be considered a superposition of two components, each of which experiences a separated effective susceptibility, exhibiting its absorption/gain windows. The evolution of the pulse spectrum in space and the pulse evolution in space–time are discussed. In particular it is shown that the number and positions of the spectrum peaks change and the pulse exhibits beats. In addition to the propagating field, a stationary light generated by the sample is also discussed.
