The modification of the spontaneous emission spectrum has been studied in this paper in a four-level doubly driven N-type atomic system. In the presence of two coherent fields, emphasis has been given to studying the spectral distribution of spontaneous emission in the relaxation process of the initially prepared excited level. The phenomenon of quantum interference dynamically induced in the system by these fields can significantly change the spontaneous emission spectrum. We have shown the emergence of a two-peak spectrum where two widely separated symmetric peaks are associated with a sharp dark line at their mid-position. At different dynamic conditions, we have also shown that two symmetric peaks may appear in the spectrum with an extended dark zone between them. Depending on the values of the Rabi frequencies and the detunings of the external fields, one can achieve a large enhancement of very narrow spectral components within the spontaneous emission line shape under different conditions. The phenomenon of suppression of spectral line and the selective cancellation of spontaneous emission have also been discussed. The results shown in various cases are analysed by considering all possible dressed states corresponding to the bare state model. The influence of collision-induced effects on the spontaneous emission spectrum is investigated as a conditional case.
Abstract Decoherence suppression from disturbance of the environment is an essential task in quantum information processing. Using the non-Hermitian operation approach, decoherence suppression of a qubit system interacting with a zero-temperature reservoir with both spontaneous emission and dephasing is investigated. We derive the exact analytical expressions of the quantum fidelity and find that quantum coherence can be significantly enhanced by controlling the non-Hermitian operator parameters. In particular, the non-Hermitian is more effective in the case of strong decay rates and show better inhibition effect on dephasing process than the spontaneous emission process.
Abstract Our work is based on the collision-induced coherence of two decay channels along two optical transitions. The quantum interference of pumping processes creates the dark state and the more atoms are pumped in this collision-induced dark state, the stronger the suppression of the spontaneous emission. The efficiency of this suppression is quantified by putting it in comparison with the spontaneous emission on the ultraviolet transition, which proceeds in a regular fashion. The branching ratio of these two (visible and ultraviolet) transitions is introduced as the effective measure of the degree of the suppression of the spontaneous emission on the visible transition. Our preliminary calculations show that a significant decrease of the branching ratio with an increase of electron densities is reproduced in the theory.
