Control of light collapse in magnetooptical Kerr media

Abstract

Theoretical and experimental demonstration of light collapse control in magnetooptical bulk Kerr media is presented. The tunable interplay between magnetically induced birefringences is achieved via a combination of the Cotton-Mouton and Faraday effects.

Analysis on the Control of Nonlinear Light Collapse in Magneto-optical Kerr Media

We demonstrate a novel approach to the nonlinear optical collapse control in magneto-optical Kerr media. A suitable and essential interplay between magnetically-induced birefringences is fully described via a superposition of the Cotton-Mouton and Faraday effects.

Light-induced Magnetization by Quantum Geometry

Hiroki Yoshida, Takehito Yokoyama

We propose a mechanism for the inverse Faraday and the inverse Cotton--Mouton effects arising from quantum geometry, characterized by the quantum metric quadrupole and the weighted quantum metric. Within a semiclassical framework based on the Boltzmann transport theory, we establish a general formalism describing light-induced magnetization in electronic systems as a second-order response to the electric field of light. Using continuum and tight-binding models, we discuss the symmetry constraints on these effects and estimate the magnitudes of the resulting magnetizations. Our results highlight a direct manifestation of quantum-geometric quantities in nonlinear magneto-optical responses and suggest a viable pathway for experimental detection.

Electromagnetically induced transparency versus nonlinear Faraday effect: Coherent control of light-beam polarization

Rafael Drampyan, Szymon Pustelny, Wojciech Gawlik

We report on experimental and theoretical study of the nonlinear Faraday effect under conditions of electromagnetically induced transparency at the $5{S}_{1/2}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}5{P}_{3/2}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}5{D}_{5/2}$ two-photon transition in rubidium vapor. These transitions realize the inverted $Y$ model which combines the $\ensuremath{\Lambda}$ and ladder systems. Strong nonlinearity allowing for large rotation angles of a probe beam tuned to the $S\ensuremath{\rightarrow}P$ transition was obtained by creation of quantum superpositions of magnetic sublevels (Zeeman coherences) in the rubidium ground state ($\ensuremath{\Lambda}$ scheme). Additionally, electromagnetically induced transparency was accomplished in a ladder scheme by acting with a second strong coupling laser on the $P\ensuremath{\rightarrow}D$ transition. Under conditions of a two-photon resonance the rotation was significantly reduced, which is interpreted as a competition between the coherent processes. The effect was observed in sub-Gauss magnetic fields and could be used for efficient coherent control of generation of the ground-state coherences, e.g., for controlling the polarization state of the probe light.
