Effects of decay-induced coherence and microwave-induced coherence on the index of refraction in a three-level Λ-type atomic system

Weihua Xu, Jin‐Hui Wu, Jin-Yue Gao

We study the dispersion-absorption properties in a three-level Λ-type atomic system with two closely lying lower levels. We consider two schemes: in the first, the two lower levels are coupled by decay-induced coherence, and in the second, quantum coherence is created by coupling the two lower levels to each other by a microwave field. We found that due to the decay-induced coherence or microwave-induced coherence, the dispersion-absorption properties can be controlled by the relative phase of applied fields, large index of refraction without absorption always can be obtained just by choosing proper values of the relative phase.

High refractive index without absorption via spontaneously generated coherence in a three-level ladder system

Sulagna Dutta

A large refractive index without absorption in a closed three-level ladder system with incoherent pumping in the presence of spontaneously generated coherence (SGC) is investigated. It has been found that a large refractive index without absorption can be obtained by choosing proper system parameters. The maximum value of refractive index at vanishing absorption depends on the strength of the SGC parameter.

ENHANCED INDEX OF REFRACTION IN AN UNDRIVEN SYSTEM

Xiangming Hu, PENG JIN-SHENG, (1)华中师范大学物理系; (2)华中师范大学应用物理研究所

In this paper we show that nondegenerate Λ three-level medium without external coherent driving can produce a large index of refraction at a point of vanishing absorption via the atomic coherence which is induced by the probe field itself.
