SQUEEZED VACUUM AND TRANSVERSE FIELD EFFECTS IN A THREE-LEVEL BISTABLE MODEL

Abstract

Optical bistability for three-level V-type atomic medium in ring cavity is examined in the presence of squeezed vacuum field within and without plane wave approximations. Squeezed Vacuum parameters affects the steady state behavior of the system. Gaussian field feature causes a significant change in the steady state behavior.

Transverse field, squeezed vacuum and inhomogeneous broadening effects on optical bistability

Mona Ali, Saad S. M. Hassan, S. M. A. Maize

The steady state behaviour of a bistable system of a homogeneously/inhomogeneously broadened two-level atomic medium in contact with a squeezed vacuum field and placed in a ring cavity driven by a coherent field is analysed within the mean field limit where the transverse effect of the radiation field is taken into account within the single-transverse-mode model. Effects on the input–output relation and the critical value of the cooperative parameter C crit are examined and compared with these results in the plane wave approximation. The 'cooperative switching effect' between the output states of the system due to variation of the cooperative parameter C is also investigated. Linear stability analysis for the model Maxwell–Bloch equations is presented in the homogeneously broadened case.

TRANSVERSE FIELD AND INHOMOGENEOUS BROADENING EFFECTS ON OPTICAL BISTABILITY IN MIXED SPECIES

Mona Ali, S. M. A. Maize, M. A. El-Deberky

The steady state behavior of a bistable system of a homogeneously or inhomogeneously broadened two sorts of two-level atoms placed in a ring cavity and driven by a coherent field is analyzed within the mean field limit where the transverse effect of the radiation field is taken into account within the single-transverse-mode model. Effects on the input–output relation, due to the transverse parameter and the Lorentzian and the Gaussian line widths which measure the inhomogeneous broadening of the atoms, are examined. The enlargement of the optical bistable (tristable) region according to the previously mentioned parameters is explained.

Optical bistability in V medium by squeezed vacuum input

Chen Zhao-yang, Jingtao Zhang, Zhizhan Xu

We discuss the optical bistable behavior of a system of N V-type three-level atoms pumped by a coherent input field and coupled to a squeezed vacuum field by treating the optical bistability of such a system as an input-output problem. It is shown that bistability can be realized due to the squeezed vacuum input.

Inhomogeneously broadened ring-cavity optical-bistability system with a Gaussian transverse intensity profile

Fan Xijun, Tan Baoguo, Yuan Zhifang +1 more

The steady-state bistability and the evolution of the field envelope of a ring-cavity optical-bistable system including the effect of the transverse radiation field and the effect of an inhomogeneously broadened atomic medium are studied by means of the mean-field approximation and dressed-mode theory in this paper. Our study shows that the bistable region enlarges with an increase of the ratio ${\mathit{r}}_{0}$/${\mathit{w}}_{0}$ (${\mathit{r}}_{0}$ is the radius of the cylindrical atomic sample and ${\mathit{w}}_{0}$ the beam waist of the Gaussian beam), and decreases with increasing width of the inhomogeneously broadened line. The transverse-field effect has more impact on the magnitude of the bistable region than the inhomogeneous broadening under certain conditions. In the case of two unstable modes, the evolution of the field envelope before reaching the stable oscillation regime differs remarkably from that in the case of the plane-wave approximation with a homogeneously broadened atomic medium.

Optical Multistability from a Squeezed Vacuum in the Presence of Quantum Interference

Chunguang Du, Shiqun Li

The effect of a squeezed vacuum on the optical bistable and multistable behaviour of a system of N three-level atoms is investigated, where the quantum interference between the atomic transition paths is considered. It is shown that the squeezed vacuum can profoundly affect the output field of this system. A strong squeezed vacuum can lead to multistable behaviour, even in the case where the cooperation parameter C is so small that the input–output relationship curve is monotone in the absence of the squeezed vacuum. The optical multistability is most significant when the quantum interference is perfect. The bistability and multistability can be controlled by the squeezing photon number and the strength of the two-photon correlation.

DISPERSIVE SWITCHING IN BISTABLE MODELS

Hanan Ali Batarfi

Novel switching processes in optical bistable models of homogeneously or inhomogeneously broadened 2-level atoms placed in ring cavity with atoms in contact with normal or squeezed vacuum reservoirs are investigated. This is done through computational examination of the relevant input-output relationship by simultaneously varying the atomic and cavity detuning parameters for fixed values of the input laser field.
