Abstract

We show that application of self-induced transparency (SIT) solitons as a driving field in V-type electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) leads to ;;mixed induced transparency' (MIT) that nicely combines the best features of both SIT and EIT.

Giant nonlinearities via simultaneous electromagnetically- and self-induced transparencies in doped photonic crystals

This paper studies a strong modulation of the phase of a weak pulse subject to electromagnetically-induced transparency (EIT) by a control pulse in the form of an self-induced transparency (SIT) gap soliton (GS) moving at the same slow velocity. The aim of this work is to match the group velocities of the weak probe field subject to EIT and the free-propagating field having the form of a slow SIT GS.

Self-induced transparency and giant nonlinearity in doped photonic crystals

Photonic crystals doped with resonant atoms allow for uniquely advantageous nonlinear modes of optical propagation. The first type of mode is self-induced transparency (SIT) solitons and multidimensional localized “bullets” propagating at photonic-bandgap frequencies. Such modes can exist even at ultraweak intensities (few photons) and therefore differ substantially either from solitons in Kerr-nonlinear photonic crystals or from SIT solitons in uniform media. The second type of mode is cross coupling between pulses exhibiting electromagnetically induced transparency and SIT gap solitons. We show that extremely strong correlations (giant cross-phase modulation) can be formed between the two pulses. These features may find applications in high-fidelity classical and quantum optical communications.

Modification of Self-Induced Transparency by a Coherent Control Field

Q‐Han Park, Robert W. Boyd

We consider self-induced transparency (SIT) in a two-level atomic system in the presence of an additional control laser field. We find that the dynamics of the SIT process are profoundly modified by the control field, in a manner reminiscent of the modification of other nonlinear optical interactions through the process of electromagnetically induced transparency. The presence of the control field allows SIT to occur under a much broader range of conditions and leads to dramatically reduced values of the group velocity of the SIT soliton.
