Propagation of a videopulse through a thin layer of two-level dipolar atoms

Abstract

The excitation of a thin layer of two-level permanent dipole moment atoms by ultimately short (less than the field oscillation period) electromagnetic pulses (videopulse) is observed. The numerical analysis of the matter equations free of the rotating wave approximation and relaxation reveals a strong influence of the local field and the Stark effect on temporal behaviour of transmitted field. Specifically, it is demonstrated that a dense film irradiated by a videopulse emits a short response with a delay much longer even than the characteristic cooperative time of the atom ensemble. It is supposed that the local field in the thin layer of permanent dipole atoms is able to re-pump the atomic subsystem. A close analogy with nonlinear pendulum motion is discussed.

Fast electromagnetic response of a thin film of resonant atoms with permanent dipole

Jean-Guy Caputo, Elena V. Kazantseva, Andrei I. Maimistov

We consider the propagation of extremely short pulses through a dielectric thin film containing resonant atoms (two-level atoms) with permanent dipole. Assuming that the film width is less than the field wavelength, we can solve the wave equation and reduce the problem to a system of generalized Bloch equations describing the resonant atoms. We compute the stationary solutions for a constant irradiation of the film. Superimposing a small amplitude linear wave we calculate the reflection and transmission coefficients. From these, one can then deduce the different parameters of the model. We believe that this technique could be used in experiments to obtain the medium atomic and relaxation parameters.

Ultra-short pulse propagation in two-level medium possessing permanent dipole moments

S. O. Elyutin, Andrei I. Maimistov

The effects are observed of propagation of an ultimately short (in one or several oscillation) electromagnetic pulse in a medium whose resonance transition characterized both by diagonal and non-diagonal matrix elements of dipole operator. The Maxwell-Bloch set of equation is employed without the approximation of slowly varying amplitudes. The analog of MacCall and Hahn area theorem is discussed corresponding to the process of the initial ultimately short pulse break up into subpulses. A novel solution is found in the form of a stable solitary bipolar signal, whose pulse area is not zero- non-zero breather.

Short optical pulse refraction by a thin film of atoms at two-photon resonance

S. O. Elyutin, Andrei I. Maimistov

The refraction of a short pulse by a thin film of atoms at two-photon resonance is numerically considered with the process of third harmonic generation involved in the analysis. It is shown that a light pulse, being refracted by a thin film of resonance atoms, decays into subpulses, whose number is determined by the energy penetrating the film. The process depends on the angle of incidence. The variation on the resonance detuning allows compensation of the Stark effect and creation of preferable conditions for light pulse transmission. The effect of local field is similar in its action to the Stark effect, but its contribution to the frequency shift could be significant only in media with a greater concentration of the resonance atoms.

Coherent responses of resonance atom layer to short optical pulse excitation

S. O. Elyutin

Coherent responses of resonance atom layer to short optical pulse excitation are numerically considered. The inhomogeneous broadening of one-photon transition, the near dipole-dipole interaction, and the substrate dispersion are involved in analysis. Under certain intensity of incident pulses, a strong coherent interaction in the form of sharp spikes of superradiation is observed in transmitted radiation. The Lorentz field correction and the substrate dispersion weaken the effect, providing additional spectral shifts. Specific features of photon echo in the form of multiple echoes to a double or triple pulse excitation in the presence ofnear dipole-dipole interaction is discussed.
