Slow-light generation in an Er-doped glass via electromagnetically induced transparency

Abstract

A combination of a four-level electromagnetically induced transparency and second-order nonlinearity is shown to enhance profoundly the efficiency of frequency conversion in an Er-doped glass owing to the pump-pulse slowing down.

Slow-light information conversion in a rare-earth-ion-doped solid

Yun-Fei Fan, Hai-Hua Wang, Rong Wang +7 more

We report the experimental observation of a slow-light information conversion via electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) in a rare-earth-ion-doped solid. Under the EIT-based slow-light regime, by manipulating the spectrum of the control fields, the slowed light pulse is transformed into two different frequency-spatial channels. The pulse shapes and energies in two output channels are further studied. This slow-light information conversion can be used as a controllable frequency-spatial multiplexing of the quantum state of the optical field and will be important in information processing and all-optical networks.

Resonant four-wave mixing with slow light

Hoonsoo Kang, Gessler Hernandez, Yifu Zhu

Electromagnetically induced transparency in a four-level atomic system suppresses the linear susceptibility and enhances the nonlinear susceptibilities, which leads to the resonantly enhanced slow-light four-wave mixing at low light intensities. We report an experimental observation of such resonant four-wave mixing in cold Rb atoms.

Electromagnetically-induced-transparency-enhanced Kerr nonlinearity: Beyond steady-state treatment

L. Deng, M. G. Payne, W. R. Garrett

A time-dependent perturbation calculation for a four-level system is presented. A resonantly enhanced Kerr nonlinearity is produced with a combination of long, short, and delayed laser pulses in the presence of electromagnetically induced transparency. We show the enhanced Kerr nonlinearity and vanishingly small linear susceptibility due to the induced transparency, both are favorable for cross-phase modulation. In addition, we show that possible constructive and destructive interference between different excitation pathways could also lead to enhancement and suppression of the Kerr nonlinearity.

Backward four-wave mixing in a four-level medium with electromagnetically induced transparency

Hoonsoo Kang, Gessler Hernandez, Jiepeng Zhang +1 more

We analyze backward four-wave mixing in a four-level system exhibiting electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT). We show that EIT suppression of the linear absorption leads to the resonantly enhanced four-wave mixing process and the conversion efficiency near 100% may be achieved in a dense four-level medium with negligible decoherence decay.
