Abstract

We present the coherent control of the temporal shape of laser pulses obtained by exploiting the propagation dynamics of electromagnetically induced transparency. Temporal compression, as a special case of pulse tailoring, is discussed. We envisage applications in nonlinear optics processes and control of pulse shapes in the vacuum ultraviolet spectral region.

We present a study of the temporal compression of nanosecond laser pulses resulting from the coherent control peculiarities of the propagation dynamics in a regime of electromagnetically induced transparency. We describe the general theoretical framework and discuss the crucial conditions required in order to experimentally realize such a temporal compression scheme. A proof-of-concept experimental realization of a scheme of this type in a sample of hot sodium vapors is currently being implemented: we describe in detail the experimental setup designed for this purpose.

Temporal compression of short-wavelength laser pulses by coherent control in rare gases

Roberto Buffa, Stefano Cavalieri, Marco V. Tognetti

We present a theoretical study of temporal compression of a short-wavelength laser pulse predicted in a real, Doppler-broadened, atomic system. The compression is the result of the coherent control peculiarities of electromagnetically induced transparency-propagation dynamics. Numerical results are reported and discussed, showing a temporal compression of 2 orders of magnitude (from 10 ns to 100 ps) of a 106.7-nm laser pulse in argon atoms at room temperature.

We describe how to control the temporal shape of adiabaton using peculiarities of propagation dynamics under coherent population trapping. Temporal compression is demonstrated as a special case of pulse shaping. The general case of unequal oscillator strengths of two optical transitions in an atom is considered.

Laser-pulse compression by coherent control in a Doppler-broadened medium: Analytical and numerical studies

Roberto Buffa, Stefano Cavalieri, Emiliano Sali +1 more

We have studied the temporal compression of laser pulses occurring in a scheme based on the coherent control peculiarities of electromagnetically induced transparency. This work extends earlier model studies, including the effect of Doppler broadening in a real hot medium. For definiteness and consistency of the atomic parameters employed, we have treated a scheme in argon. In this way, we establish a realistic model that enables us to predict quantitatively the performance of laser pulse compression experiments.
