Abstract

Two conditions are formulated that shows a Λ-type three-level atomic system in squeezed baths along with quantum interference between decay channels becomes dispersionless or absorptionless. Relative phase of external fields controls the group velocity.

Controlling subluminal to superluminal behavior of group velocity with squeezed reservoir

Amitabh Joshi, Shoukry S. Hassan, Min Xiao

We consider a three-level $\ensuremath{\Lambda}$-type atomic medium in an electromagnetically induced transparency configuration interacting with two independent broadband squeezed baths. We show that absorptive and dispersive properties of the medium can be controlled using squeezed bath parameters and coupling field strength such that the medium can have subluminal to superluminal group velocity for the probe pulse.

Absorption-Free Sub- and Super-Luminal Light Propagation via Quantum Interference

Jianchun Wu, Zhengdong Liu, Jun Zheng

We investigate the dispersive and absorptive properties of an N-type four-level atomic system in three coherent fields, and consider the susceptibility mathematically. It is shown that the group velocity of the probe field exhibits sub- and super-luminal under some conditions, meanwhile the absorption coefficient keeps zero during the occurrence and transition process of sub- and super-luminal pulses.

Transient Dynamics of Light Propagation in Λ-Atom EIT Medium

Yong Li, Xufeng Liu

We investigate the transient phenomenon or property of the propagation of an optical probe field in a medium consisting of many Λ-type three-level atoms coupled to this probe field and a classical driven field. We observe a hidden symmetry and obtain an exact solution for this light propagation problem by means of the spectral generating method. This solution enlightens us to propose a practical protocol implementing the quantum memory robust for quantum decoherence in a crystal. As a transient dynamic process this solution also manifests an exotic result that a wave-packet of light will split into three packets propagating at different group velocities. It is argued that "super-luminal group velocity" and "sub-luminal group velocity" can be observed simultaneously in the same system. This interesting phenomenon is expected to be demonstrated experimentally.
