Observation of Electromagnetically Induced Transparency (EIT) in Rb-filled Hollow-core Fibre

Abstract

Filling the cores of a hollow-core optical fibre with Rubidium has proven challenging. Here we report on progress to this end, and give experimental and theoretical evidence of substantial electromagnetically induced transparency at room temperature.

Electromagnetically Induced Transparency in Rubidium-Filled HC-PCF

This paper report the observation of electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) in Rb-filled HC-PCF. We observe EIT in a lambda energy-level configuration with narrow linewidth, in contrast to that obtained by Ghosh et al. (2006). The fibre used in this experiment is large-pitch kagome-structured HC-PCF (Couny et al., 2006), with a core diameter of 11 mum. In order to prevent rubidium from being quickly adsorbed onto the silica walls, the fibre core was coated with PDMS by first filling it with a solution of 2% PDMS in diethyl-ether, and then evaporating the ether. The PDMS wall coating has a strongly beneficial effect in suppressing these dephasing collisions but further measurements at much lower coupling intensities are necessary to quantify how small the dephasing due to the coated wall is.

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 in Rb-filled coated hollow-core photonic crystal fiber

We report the observation of lambda-configuration electromagnetically induced transparency as well as optical pumping in rubidium-filled kagome-structure hollow-coated-core photonic crystal fiber. We show that a polydimethylsiloxane coating of the fiber core reduces the linewidth of the transparency below that which could be expected for an uncoated fiber. The measured 6 MHz linewidth was dominated by optical broadening.

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.
