Abstract

This paper report the observation of electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) in Rb-filled HC-PCF. We observe EIT in a lambda energy-level configuration with narrow linewidth, in contrast to that obtained by Ghosh et al. (2006). The fibre used in this experiment is large-pitch kagome-structured HC-PCF (Couny et al., 2006), with a core diameter of 11 mum. In order to prevent rubidium from being quickly adsorbed onto the silica walls, the fibre core was coated with PDMS by first filling it with a solution of 2% PDMS in diethyl-ether, and then evaporating the ether. The PDMS wall coating has a strongly beneficial effect in suppressing these dephasing collisions but further measurements at much lower coupling intensities are necessary to quantify how small the dephasing due to the coated wall is.

Progress towards atomic vapor photonic microcells: Coherence and polarization relaxation measurements in coated and uncoated HC-PCF

We report a comparative study on dephasing mechanisms between inner core coated and uncoated sections of the same Kagome hypocycloid-shaped core hollow core photonic crystal fibers (HC-PCF) filled with rubidium vapor. The comparison is performed by measuring the atomic polarization relaxation and electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) linewidth in Rb loaded polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) inner wall coated and bare silica core Kagome HC-PCF. The measurements show a polarization relaxation time of 32μs in a PDMS coated Kagome HC-PCF and 24μs in uncoated Kagome HC-PCF. A minimum EIT linewidth of 6.2±0.8MHz is achieved in PDMS coated Kagome HC-PCF, and 8.3±0.9 MHz for the uncoated Kagome HC-PCF.

Electromagnetically induced transparency in Rb-filled coated hollow-core photonic crystal fiber

We report the observation of lambda-configuration electromagnetically induced transparency as well as optical pumping in rubidium-filled kagome-structure hollow-coated-core photonic crystal fiber. We show that a polydimethylsiloxane coating of the fiber core reduces the linewidth of the transparency below that which could be expected for an uncoated fiber. The measured 6 MHz linewidth was dominated by optical broadening.
