Coherent interaction of laser pulses in a resonant optically dense extended medium under the regime of strong field-matter coupling

V. S. Egorov, Victor Lebedev, Igor B. Mekhov +3 more

The nonstationary pump-probe interaction between short laser pulses propagating in a resonant optically dense coherent medium is considered. Special attention is paid to the case where the density of two-level particles is high enough that a considerable part of the energy of relatively weak external laser fields can be coherently absorbed and reemitted by the medium. Thus, the field of the medium reaction plays a key role in the interaction processes, which leads to collective behavior of an atomic ensemble in the strongly coupled light-matter system. Such behavior results in fast excitation interchanges between the field and a medium in the form of optical ringing, which is analogous to polariton beating in solid-state optics. This collective oscillating response, which can be treated as successive beats between light wave packets of different group velocities, is shown to significantly affect the propagation and amplification of the probe field under its nonlinear interaction with a nearly copropagating pump pulse. Depending on the probe-pump time delay, the probe transmission spectra show the appearance of either a specific doublet or coherent dip. The widths of these features are determined by the density-dependent field-matter coupling coefficient and increase during the propagation. Besides that, the widths of the coherent features, which appear close to resonance in the broadband probe spectrum, exceed the absorption-line width, since under the strong-coupling regime, the frequency of optical ringing exceeds the rate of incoherent relaxation. Contrary to stationary strong-field effects, the density- and coordinate-dependent transmission spectra of the probe manifest the importance of collective oscillations and cannot be obtained in the framework of a single-atom model.

Slow light amplification in a non-inverted gain medium

Filippo Caruso, I. Herrera, Saverio Bartalini +1 more

We investigate the propagation of a coherent probe light pulse through a three-level atomic medium (in the Λ-configuration) in the presence of a pump laser under the conditions for gain without inversion. When the carrier frequency of the probe pulse and the pump laser are in a Raman configuration, we show that it is possible to amplify a slow propagating pulse. We also analyze the regime in which the probe pulse is slightly detuned from resonance where we observe anomalous light propagation.

Control of the Faraday rotation via electromagnetically induced transparency medium and graphene metasurfaces

Muhammad Imtiaz Khan, Tariq Ali, Hazrat Ali +6 more

Abstract We investigate theoretically the control over Faraday rotation via an electromagnetically induced transparency medium (EIT) and graphene metasurfaces. The Faraday rotation of the light pulse is enhanced with increased probe field detuning. The increasing strength of the magnetic field enhances the rotation of the polarization plane and shifts its zero crossing at a higher frequency. The increase in the chemical potential rotates the polarization plane of the light pulse propagating through the system at low frequency. The periodic arrangement of disks on a graphene metasurface enhances the Faraday rotation of the light pulse and shifts the zero crossing relatively at a low frequency. The chemical potential, magnetic field and periodic length of disks can be used to control the Faraday rotation of light pulses at the desired frequency.
