Abstract

We propose a scheme for reducing the impact of inhomogeneous broadening on quantum dot based EIT for slow light. Field propagation calculations show superior performance in delay compared to traditionally investigated EIT schemes.

Reducing the impact of inhomogeneous broadening on quantum dot based electromagnetically induced transparency

Per Lunnemann, Jesper Mørk

Slow light based on electromagnetically induced transparency in an inhomogeneously broadened quantum dot medium is investigated theoretically. Three schemes, Ξ, V, and Λ, are compared and it is shown that the V-scheme gives a group velocity that is more than three orders of magnitude smaller compared to the Ξ- and Λ-schemes. The physical mechanisms that make the V-scheme less vulnerable to inhomogeneous broadening are analyzed and discussed.

Broad-Band EIT Systems - Matched Multi-Λ Scheme

Jianming Wen, Sulakshana Thanvanthri, Morton H. Rubin

To overcome the conventional slow-light limitation that the product of EIT window and time delay is almost one, the matched multi-Λ scheme has the potential to broaden transparency window while maintaining a large group-velocity delay.

Time delay and broadening of six isolated pulses are studied and experimentally demonstrated in electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) slow light medium. The optimal pulse for largest delay (smallest broadening) is amplitude-shaped by Single-Exponential (Cosine).

A scheme comparison of Autler–Townes based slow light in inhomogeneously broadened quantum dot media

Per Lunnemann, Jesper Mørk

We propose a method to achieve significant optical signal delays exploiting the effect of Autler–Townes splitting (ATS) in an inhomogeneously broadened quantum dot medium. The absorption and slowdown effects are compared for three schemes i.e., Ξ, V, and Λ, corresponding to different excitation configurations. Qualitative differences of the V scheme compared to the Ξ and Λ schemes are found, which show that features of (ATS) are only revealed in the V scheme. The underlying physical mechanisms causing this discrepancy are analyzed and discussed. Finally we compare field propagation calculations of the schemes showing significantly larger achievable signal delays for the V scheme despite finite absorption of the coupling field. This opens the possibility for using waveguide structures for both coupling and probe fields, thus significantly increasing the achievable signal delays.

Optically Controlled Delays for Broadband Pulses

We propose a scheme that provides controllable large delays for broadband optical pulses based on steep dispersion of coherently driven medium in which the narrow EIT band is overcame by using spatial and temporal processing.

We propose a scheme that provides large controllable delays for broadband optical pulses. The system is based on the steep dispersion of a coherently driven medium, in which the narrow electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) band is overcome by using spatial and temporal processing.
