Effect of the local field on transient processes in a dense ensemble of two-level atoms

Abstract

Transient processes are analyzed based on modified Bloch equations describing the interaction of optical radiation with dense resonant media with allowance for dipole-dipole interaction between atoms (the local-field effect). An analytical solution to the equation for the population difference of resonant atomic levels, taking into account the up-conversion processes, is obtained for a rectangular pulse in the quasi-stationary approximation. Computer simulation is performed for the kinetics of the population difference of resonant atomic levels in the field of a long sine-shaped pulse. It is shown that the time dynamics of the population difference of resonant atomic levels manifests characteristic features inherent in the intrinsic optical bistability effect under adiabatically slow variation of the acting field.

Numerical Modelling a Populations Differences Dynamics of the Resonant Levels of Atoms in a Nonrectangular Form Laser Pulse: Optical Bistability Effect

Alexander V. Glushkov, Andrey V. Loboda, Valeriy N. Khokhlov +1 more

The results of numeric calculation of population kinetics of resonant levels for atoms in the non-rectangular form laser pulse on the basis of the modified Bloch equations are presented. Cited equations describe an interaction between two-level atoms ensemble and resonant radiation with an account of the atomic dipole-dipole interaction. It has been found for a case of ch-1laser pulse a strengthen possibility of manifestation of the internal optical bistability effect special features in the temporary dynamics of populations for the atomic resonant levels under adiabatic slow changing the acting field intensity in comparison with a case of the rectangular form pulses

Switching effect in dense media

Valerică Ninulescu, Iuliana Sterian, Andreea-Rodica P. Sterian

Maxwell-Bloch equations generalized for a dense medium of two- level atoms are used to describe the dynamics of the system under the action of an ultrafast optical pulse. Starting with an uninverted system, the final population is one of the two extreme cases, depending on the ratio of the Rabi frequency and the parameter describing the near dipole-dipole interactions. Based on numerical investigations for typical pulse shapes, the mechanism of switching is explained.

On the resonant optical bistability condition

Malyshev, A. V.

We address a two level system in an environment interacting with the electromagnetic field in the dipole approximation. The resonant optical bistability induced by local-field effects is studied by considering the relationship between the population difference and the excitation field. The diversity of various systems is included by accounting for the system self-action via the surface part of the Green's dyadic in the general form. The bistability condition and the exact solution of the steady state optical Bloch equations at the absolute bistability threshold are derived analytically.

Transients in media with near dipole-dipole interatomic interaction

Oleg Kh Khasanov, Русецкий Григорий Александрович, Самарцев Виталий Владимирович +2 more

The effect that may be exerted by an interatomic near dipole-dipole interaction upon optical transient processes in dense resonance media is analyzed. The behavior of the macroscopic polarization after a one-pulse excitation of a dense ensemble of two-level atoms is considered. It is shown that the free polarization signal is of oscillatory nature, with the oscillation frequency varying in time and being dependent on the dipole-dipole interaction constant, the intensity and duration of the exciting pulse, and the detuning of its carrier frequency from the resonance. The free polarization signal decay, which depends on the magnitude and sign of the sum of the detuning of the exciting pulse carrier frequency from the resonance and the Lorentz frequency, may obey either a power or an exponential law. The signal decay rate is determined not only by the inhomogeneous broadening, but also by the ratio of the above parameters. The peculiarities of echo-responses under one- or two-pulse excitation conditions are studied.
