Multistability of electromagnetically induced transparency in atom-assisted optomechanical cavities

Yue Chang, Tao Shi, Yu-xi Liu +2 more

We study how an oscillating mirror affects the electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) of an atomic ensemble confined in a gas cell, which is placed inside a microcavity with an oscillating mirror in one end. The cavity field acts as a probe of the EIT system and also produces a light pressure on the mirror. The back-action from the mirror to the cavity field results in several (from one to five) steady-states for this atom-assisted optomechanical cavity, producing a complex structure in its EIT. The multiequilibrium positions of the oscillating mirror have been calculated, and then the susceptibility is studied with respect to the different equilibrium positions. We find that the EIT of the atomic ensemble can be significantly changed by the oscillating mirror, and also the various steady states of the mirror have different effects on the EIT.

Intracavity electromagnetically induced transparency in atoms around a nanofiber with a pair of Bragg grating mirrors

Fam Le Kien, K. Hakuta

We study intracavity electromagnetically induced transparency in atoms around a nanofiber with a pair of Bragg grating mirrors. We calculate the transmission of the composite cavity-fiber-atom system and the time development of the guided probe light field. We derive analytical approximate expressions for the output probe field and its group delay. We show that the group delay of the guided light substantially depends on the input pulse length, the mirror reflectivity, the atomic number density, and the coupling field intensity. We demonstrate that the group delay of the guided light can be significantly enhanced by the presence of the fiber-Bragg-grating cavity even when the finesse of the cavity is moderate.

All-optical control of superradiance and matter waves using a dispersive cavity

Shih-Wei Su, Zhen-Kai Lu, Nina Rohringer +2 more

Cavity quantum electrodynamics (CQED) plays an elegant role of studying strong coupling between light and matter. However, a non-mechanical, direct and dynamical control of the used mirrors is still unavailable. Here we theoretically investigate a novel type of dynamically controllable cavity composed of two atomic mirrors. Based on the electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT), the reflectance of atomic mirror is highly controllable through its dispersive properties by varying the intensity of applied coupling fields or the optical depth of atomic media. To demonstrate the uniqueness of the present cavity, we further show the possibility of manipulating vacuum-induced diffraction of a binary Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) when loading it into a dispersive cavity and experiencing superradiant scatterings. Our results may provide a novel all-optical element for atom optics and shine new light on controlling light-matter interaction.
