Abstract

We have investigated the optical bistability and optical multistability behaviors in a unidirectional ring cavity filled with diamond nitrogen-vacancy (defect centers driven by an elliptically polarized probe field in the presence of magnetic field and compare its properties with the corresponding closed system. Our numerical result demonstrates that threshold of optical bistability and the width of hysteresis loop can be manipulated by adjusting the phase difference between the two circularly polarized components of a single coherent field and cavity parameters, i.e., the electronic exit rate from cavity and electron injection rates. It is also shown that optical bistability and optical multistability are very sensitive to the relative phase between applied fields and magnetic field. It can be realized that by tuning the parameters the transition from bistability to multistability or vice versa can be obtained.

Optical bistability and multistability induced by quantum coherence in diamond germanium-vacancy color centers

Zhang Hong-jun, Gaiying Wang, Dong Sun +2 more

Optical bistability (OB) and optical multistability (OM) behaviors are investigated theoretically in a four-level N-type diamond germanium-vacancy (GeV) color center scheme immersed in a unidirectional ring cavity based on electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT). It is found that OB behavior is very sensitive to the system parameters, such as the detunings of probe and coupling fields and the intensities of coupling fields as well as the density of GeV centers, and the thresholds of OB can be controlled via changing these parameters. In addition, we can switch OB to OM by adjusting the intensity of control field and the density of GeV centers or vice versa. Our results may provide some guidance for an all-optical switching, optical communications, and optical logic devices in a solid-state system.

Optical bistability and multistability via electron injection rate in an imperfect cavity

Shavan K. Askar, Abdullah Hasan Jabbar, A. S. Prakaash +7 more

Abstract In this letter, we investigate the electron injection rate-based optical bistability (OB) and optical multistability (OM) features in an imperfect cavity. Coherent optical fields interact with the open four-level quantum system that makes up the ring cavity. We have discovered that the threshold of OB and OM as well as the length of the hysteresis loop can be changed by varying the length of the quantum system, reflection and transmission coefficient of cavity mirrors. Our findings further show that the electronic exit rate from the cavity and the electron injection rates have a significant impact on the threshold of OB and OM. It is discovered that transitioning from OB to OM or vice versa is achievable by adjusting the controllable parameters. The impact of the cooperation parameter on the properties of the OB and OM is then addressed. The findings demonstrate that the OB features are simple to manipulate. Our suggested model might be used to develop an all-optical device for use in upcoming quantum information processing.

Control of the threshold intensity and hysteresis cycle of optical Bi(multi)stability via atomic injection and exit rates from cavity

Hamid Reza Hamedi, Ali Khaledi‐Nasab, Hossein Ghaforyan +1 more

The optical bistability (OB) and multistability (OM) in an open Λ-type three-level atomic system inside a ring cavity are investigated. It is found that the ratio of atomic injections β and the exit rates r 0 from cavity evidently affects the threshold intensity of OB and OM. The effect of incoherent pumping field on the OB and OM of a medium is discussed. We show that the bistable behavior of the open system significantly differs from that in a corresponding closed system, especially with an increase in the incoherent pump rate. The intensity threshold is reduced in an open system but increases in a closed system. In addition, the dependence of OB and OM in an open system on spontaneously generated coherence, the relative phase the between probe and coupling fields, the coupling-field intensity, and the cooperation parameter are briefly discussed.

Optical bistability through the cavity effect in a four-level open atomic medium

Hamid Reza Hamedi

The optical bistability and multistability behavior in a ring cavity for the four-level open atomic system, driven by two coupling fields has been analyzed. It is shown that the presence of exit rate from cavity is having a dominant effect on generating the optical bi(multi) stability on the system. It is found that the effects of the injection rates can be used to control the threshold intensity. It is also found that optical bistability can convert to optical multistability or vice versa via the effect of intensity and detuning of the coupling fields.

Controlling the Optical Bistability via External Magnetic Field in a Coherent Atomic Medium

H. Jafarzadeh

A four-level inverse Y-type atomic system with a microwave-driven field contained in a unidirectional ring cavity is proposed for controlling the optical bistability behavior with application on all-optical switching. Two circularly polarized components from a weak linearly-polarized probe beam are interacted separately by two transitions of this medium. A coherent coupling field derived another atomic transition. Under the steady state condition, we can control the occurrence of the optical bistability by modulating different parameters, such as the probe detuning ( ), the electronic cooperation parameter (C), the magnitude of electromagnetic field (B), and left- or right- handed circular polarized beams. Also, it is found that the stable output field of the optical cavity can be controlled by adjusting the intensity of the input field. It is demonstrated that the transmission coefficient of two orthogonally polarized beams at different frequencies can be achieved by adjusting the magnitude of the external magnetic field. It is found that the threshold of the optical bistability can be controlled by the magnitude of the external magnetic field. Also, it is shown that the optical bistability can be converted to optical multistability by switching the two orthogonally polarized beams. In this paper, in the case of the steady-state and transient response, we investigated the effect of external magnetic field on optical bistability of a four-level atomic system in the presence of strong coherent laser beam. Here, a laser probe signal consists of two left- and right- handed circular polarized beams which are interacted by two different transitions. The optical system provides a new experimental method to test optical bistability theory.

Phase knob for switching steady-state behaviors from bistability to multistability via spontaneously generated coherence

Zhonghu Zhu, Ai-Xi Chen, Wen‐Xing Yang +1 more

We conducted a theoretical investigation of the optical steady-state behavior in N four-level Y-type atoms driven coherently by a probe laser and a single elliptically polarized field (EPF) by means of a unidirectional ring cavity. It was found that the optical bistability can be observed for a wide regime of frequency detuning of the probe field, intensity of the EPF, and the atomic cooperation parameter. Interestingly, in principle the optical steady-state behavior can be switched from optical bistability to multistability or vice versa by adjusting the phase difference between two components of the polarized electric field of the EPF if the perfect spontaneously generated coherence of atoms is included. Our results illustrate the potential to utilize EPF for all-optical switching in atomic systems through the phase control, as well as provide guidance in the design for possible experimental implementations.
