Chaotic Behaviors in Three-Level Atomic Optical Bistability System

Abstract

We experimentally demonstrated chaotic behaviors in three-level Lambda-type atoms inside an optical cavity. The route to chaos through periodic doubling was observed in the experiment, which could be controlled by the coupling beam parameters.

Bistability and instability of three-level atoms inside an optical cavity

Hai Wang, David J. Goorskey, Min Xiao

Optical bistability and dynamic instability are experimentally observed and studied in a system consisting of three-level $\ensuremath{\Lambda}$-type rubidium atoms in an optical ring cavity. The bistable behavior and self-pulsing frequency are experimentally manipulated by changing the controlling and cavity field parameters (power and frequency). These nonlinear effects are influenced by the enhanced Kerr nonlinearity due to atomic coherence in such a system.

Chaos in an Electromagnetically Induced Transparent Medium Inside an Optical Cavity

Wenge Yang, Amitabh Joshi, Min Xiao

We theoretically predict and experimentally demonstrate chaotic behaviors in a system comprising of three-level atoms inside an optical ring cavity. This electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) system is driven to chaos through period-doubling route by reducing the frequency detuning of the coupling laser beam. The chaos occurs in a different parametric regime as previously predicted and is believed to be caused by the enhanced dispersion and nonlinearity due to induced atomic coherence in such EIT system.

Controlling optical bistability in a three-level atomic system

We have experimentally studied the optical bistable behavior in an optical ring cavity filled with a collection of three-level $\ensuremath{\Lambda}$-type rubidium atoms, interacting with two collinearly propagating laser beams. The bistability so observed is very sensitive to the induced atomic coherence in this electromagnetically induced transparency system or consequently to the altered nonlinearity in the system and, thus, can easily be controlled by changing the intensity and the frequency detuning of the coupling field.

Optical Multistability in Three-Level Atoms inside an Optical Ring Cavity

Amitabh Joshi, Min Xiao

Optical multistability in an optical ring cavity filled with a collection of three-level Lambda-type rubidium atoms has been experimentally demonstrated. The observed multistability is very sensitive to the induced atomic coherence in the system and can evolve from a normal bistable behavior with the change of the coupling field as well as the atomic number density. The underlying mechanism for the formation of such multistability is also discussed.

Controlled dynamic instability and route to chaos with three|level atoms inside an optical ring cavity

Yang Wenge

Dynamic instability and chaos are experimentally observed in the output field of an optical cavity consisting of three-level atoms near the condition of electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT). The observed dynamic instability and route to chaos can be well controlled by the coupling laser field, and are greatly enhanced by the modified absorption, dispersion, and nonlinearity due to induced atomic coherence in the three-level atomic EIT system. A theoretical model is developed to quantitatively explain the observed results.

Experimentally controlled optical bistability and multistability in a three-level atomic system

Optical bistability and multistability are experimentally demonstrated in an optical ring cavity containing three-level (Λ-type) rubidium atoms. They are sensitive to the induced atomic coherence and can be controlled by coupling field and atomic density.
