Sub-Doppler resonances of absorption and transparency induced by strong radiations in ladder systems

Abstract

The possibility of elimination of Doppler broadening and simultaneous coherent coupling of atoms from wide velocity intervals in three-photon schemes is shown. A simple physical analysis in terms of modification of frequency- correlation properties of multiphoton processes in strong fields is given. Numerical illustrations are presented.

Possibilities of elimination of Doppler broadening by making use of atomic coherence in ladder- and folded-type configurations of quantum transitions are considered.

Condition for Doppler-free three-photon resonance in a ladder-type atomic system

Yoon‐Seok Lee, Han Seb Moon

We report the essential condition for three-photon electromagnetically induced absorption (TPEIA) in a Doppler-broadened ladder-type atomic system. When the two coupling lasers operate at different frequencies, we observed Doppler-free TPEIA resonance at a counterintuitive frequency, which is the almost half-frequency detuning of the frequency difference between the two coupling fields. Considering three-photon coherence in a Doppler-broadened ladder-type three-level atomic system, the TPEIA due to the atomic group of non-zero velocity was in good agreement with the calculated TPEIA spectrum under the one-photon resonance condition of all three optical fields. From the results, we found that an atomic group with a proper velocity for ladder-type TPEIA should satisfy the one-photon resonances of all three optical fields.

Absorption properties of a driven Doppler-broadened ladder system with hyperfine structure

吴金辉, 高锦岳

We have studied the absorption spectrum of a Doppler-broadened ladder system,where the highest level is coupled into two middle hyperfine sublevels by a strong coherent field.We find that,when the system is considered as homogeneous,either two or three spectral components are observed,depending on the detuning of the coherent field.but when the velocity distribution of atoms is considered,we can always observe one electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) window with high dispersion.So the atomic hyperfine structure cannot be an impediment for obtaining EIT.

Relationship between two- and three-photon coherence in a ladder-type atomic system

Yoon‐Seok Lee, Heung‐Ryoul Noh, Han Seb Moon

We investigated the relationship between two- and three-photon coherence in terms of the transition routes and coupling field intensities in a Doppler-broadened ladder-type atomic system for the 5S(1/2)-5P(3/2)-5D(5/2) transition in (87)Rb atoms. Three-photon electromagnetically induced absorption (TPEIA) due to three-photon coherence was observed in the only transition route that exhibited a dominant two-photon coherence effect. We showed that two-photon coherence is a necessary condition for three-photon coherence phenomena. A comparison of the relative magnitudes of the electromagnetically induced transparency and TPEIA as a function of the coupling field intensity revealed that the increase of three-photon coherence was faster than that of two-photon coherence. Considering three-photon coherence in a Doppler-broadened ladder-type three-level atomic system, the relation between two- and three-photon coherence was numerically calculated.
