Abstract

We report on the development of all-fiber devices based on a hermetically sealed hollow-core-PCF filled with acetylene at sub-millibar pressure and designed for the generation of electromagnetically-induced transparency and for saturable absorption.

We report on the development of two all-fiber devices based on a hermetically sealed hollow-core-PCF filled with acetylene at sub-millibar pressure. One device is designed for the generation of electromagnetically-induced transparency and the other for saturable absorption. (2 pages)

We developed a system to investigate resonant nonlinear optical interactions in acetylene molecules, confined in a hollow-core photonic crystal fiber (HC-PCF), using light injection through a low-loss splice from one end of the fiber, allowing us to work at low power. Electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) was observed in the 1500 nm telecommunications window.

Electromagnetically-induced transparency grid in acetylene-filled hollow-core PCF

We report a set of experimental observations on electromagnetically induced transparency in acetylene filled hollow-core photonic crystal fiber, involving both Lambda-type and V-type interactions over several lines of the R-branch of the nu1 + nu3 ro-vibrational overtone band. Transparency as high as ~70% was achieved. A theoretical account of the sources of decoherence shows that collisions with the inner wall of the fiber core and laser frequency-jitter dominate the coherence decay.

We present experimental results demonstrating for the first time to our knowledge the observation of electromagnetically-induced-transparency using a counter-propagating beam configuration in an acetylene filled hollow-core PCF gas-cell, in both V and Λ energy-level schemes.

We report detailed experimental and theoretical results comparing electromagnetically- induced-transparency obtained in V and Lambda configurations in acetylene-filled-hollow-core PCF. For the same experimental conditions, the EIT in V-scheme shows a stronger peak but larger linewidth.
