Electromagnetically induced transparency for a double Fano-profile system

Thuan Bui Dinh, Van Cao Long, W. Leoński +1 more

A Λ-like model of atomic levels involving two auto-ionizing states is considered. The levels are irradiated by two external electromagnetic fields, a strong driving and a weak probing ones. The analytical formula for medium susceptibility shows an additional electromagnetically induced transparency window caused by the second auto-ionizing level. Characteristics of both transparency windows are analyzed depending on parameters of auto-ionizing levels and the external driving field. Manipulation of these characteristics seems to be very effective because of their large sensitivity with respect to the parameters involved in the problem. This manipulation becomes even more feasible when considered model is implemented in so-called laser-induced continuum structure.

Laser Enhanced Auto-Ionization and Dressed Resonances*

Joseph H. Eberly, Dan Agassi

We describe the strong field dressing of atomic resonance states, and apply the dressed state description to the photo-excitation of an auto-ionizing resonance, including the effects of radiative and purely transverse line broadenings.

The role of coherent effects in mode bistability of a gas laser in inhomogeneous medium

Gabriela Wa̧sik, Gerd Leuchs

We have studied microscopic effects leading to mode competition in an inhomogeneously broadened medium of a gas laser with a weakly anisotropic cavity. The polarization bistability observed in some lasers, which is believed to be caused by hole burning, we attribute to microscopic coherent effects induced by two light fields. Due to these effects one field can be coupled with another. Hole burning is found to be important, but not crucial. The exact solution of the equation of motion for field amplitudes is compared with the third order approximation of perturbation theory. The role of four wave mixing, important for bistability of axial modes in a homogeneously broadened medium, is discussed.
