Nonlinear-optical properties of a noninteracting Bose gas

Mark A. Kasevich, Stephen E. Harris

Published May 1, 1996• 6 citations
Publisher

Abstract

We show that the characteristic Rabi frequency and nonlinear susceptibility of atoms in a dilute Bose gas remain unchanged by the process of condensation. We neglect the effects of atomic dipole-dipole interactions and spontaneous emission.

Light incident on a Bose-condensed gas

H. David Politzer

The coherent interaction of light with a Bose-condensed gas via atomic electric dipole transitions produces strong mixing of photons and excited atoms. Consequent optical properties near resonance include substantial reflection from the edge of the gas.

Light—induced nonlinear effects of dispersion relation of ultracold Bose gas

HuZheng-Feng, DuChunGuang, LiShi-Qun

We have investigated the optical properties of A-configuration ultracold dense Bose gas interacting with two laser pulses, which usually result in electromagnetically induced transparency. With the nonrelativistic quantum electrodynamics and taking into account the atomic dipole-dipole interaction and local field effect, we have derived the Maxwell-Bloch equations of the system. The dispersion relation of an ultracold Bose gas has been obtained and the light-induced nonlinear effects have been analysed. The light-induced nonlinear effects are different from the effects induced by two-body collision of Bose-Einstein condensation atoms which have a frequency shift of transparent window.

Resonant Nonlinear Dielectric Response in a Photonic Band Gap Material

Sajeev John, Tran Quang

We study the dielectric response of impurity two-level atoms in a photonic band gap (PBG) to an applied laser field. In this system, the atoms may exchange energy coherently by resonance dipole-dipole interaction (RDDI) which is assumed to be strong compared to the spontaneous emission rate. When the applied Rabi frequency exceeds the RDDI energy scale, nonlinear saturation of the absorptive part of the susceptibility occurs while the real part of the nonlinear susceptibility remains large. This suggests that doped PBG materials may act as nearly lossless, but highly nonlinear dielectrics.
