Coherent Storage and Retrieval of Broadband Optical Pulses

Abstract

We conduct a theoretical investigation of broadband optical pulse control in coherent three-level media. We produce an exact soliton solution, probe its utility with numerical solutions and generate animations to highlight interesting features.

Storage and retrieval of ultraslow optical solitons in coherent atomic system

Zhengyang Bai, Chao Hang, Guoxiang Huang

We investigate the propagation of intense probe pulses in a lifetime broadened Λ-type three-level atomic system with a configuration of electromagnetically induced transparency.We find that ultraslow optical solitons formed by a balance between dispersion and nonlinearity can be stored and retrieved in the system by switching off and on a control field.Such pulses are robust during storage and retrieval, and hence may have potential applications in optical and quantum information processing.

Ultraslow optical solitons and their storage and retrieval in an ultracold ladder-type atomic system

Yang Chen, Zhengyang Bai, Guoxiang Huang

We propose a scheme to obtain stable nonlinear optical pulses and realize their storage and retrieval in an ultracold ladder-type three-level atomic gas via electromagnetically induced transparency. Based on Maxwell-Bloch equations we derive a nonlinear equation governing the evolution of probe field envelope, and show that optical solitons with ultraslow propagating velocity and extremely low generation power can be created in the system. Furthermore, we demonstrate that such ultraslow optical solitons can be stored and retrieved by switching off and on a control field. Due to the balance between dispersion and nonlinearity, the ultraslow optical solitons are robust during propagation, and hence their storage and retrieval are more desirable than that of linear optical pulses. This raises the possibility of realizing the storage and retrieval of light and quantum information by using solitonic pulses.

Cloning, Dragging, and Parametric Amplification of Solitons in a Coherently Driven, Nonabsorbing System

Gautam Vemuri, G. S. Agarwal, Kashyap V. Vasavada

Through an investigation of the dynamics of solitons in three-level atoms, we demonstrate the possibility of optical pulse control and shaping in coherently driven media. It is also shown that solitons generated in three-level atoms, in contrast to two-level atoms, can propagate at the speed of light.
