Abstract

We present experimental results demonstrating for the first time to our knowledge the observation of electromagnetically-induced-transparency using a counter-propagating beam configuration in an acetylene filled hollow-core PCF gas-cell, in both V and Λ energy-level schemes.

Experimental Study Comparing EIT in V and ΛSchemes in Acetylene-Filled HC-PCF

We report detailed experimental and theoretical results comparing electromagnetically- induced-transparency obtained in V and Lambda configurations in acetylene-filled-hollow-core PCF. For the same experimental conditions, the EIT in V-scheme shows a stronger peak but larger linewidth.

Experimental setup for electromagnetically induced transparency observation in hollow-core fibers

We developed a system to investigate resonant nonlinear optical interactions in acetylene molecules, confined in a hollow-core photonic crystal fiber (HC-PCF), using light injection through a low-loss splice from one end of the fiber, allowing us to work at low power. Electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) was observed in the 1500 nm telecommunications window.

Electromagnetically-induced transparency grid in acetylene-filled hollow-core PCF

Fetah Benabid, P. S. Light, F. Couny +1 more

We report a set of experimental observations on electromagnetically induced transparency in acetylene filled hollow-core photonic crystal fiber, involving both Lambda-type and V-type interactions over several lines of the R-branch of the nu1 + nu3 ro-vibrational overtone band. Transparency as high as ~70% was achieved. A theoretical account of the sources of decoherence shows that collisions with the inner wall of the fiber core and laser frequency-jitter dominate the coherence decay.

Electromagnetically induced transparency in acetylene molecules with counterpropagating beams in V and Λ schemes

P. S. Light, Fetah Benabid, Greg J. Pearce +2 more

We report on the experimental observation of electromagnetically induced transparency in V and Λ energy level schemes using counterpropagating coupling and probe beam geometry. The observation was achieved using an acetylene photonic microcell. The conditions required for this observation are explored theoretically, and we show that the use of counterpropagating beams in electromagnetically induced transparency may have applications as a spectroscopic technique where velocity discrimination is desirable.

Electromagnetically-induced transparency and saturable absorption in all-fiber devices based on acetylene-filled hollow-core PCF

We report on the development of two all-fiber devices based on a hermetically sealed hollow-core-PCF filled with acetylene at sub-millibar pressure. One device is designed for the generation of electromagnetically-induced transparency and the other for saturable absorption. (2 pages)
