Delayed-dynamical optical bistability within and without the rotating wave approximation

Abstract

Optical bistability (OB) for a homogeneously broadened two-level atomic system in a ring cavity is investigated within and without the rotating wave approximation (RWA) using nonautonomous Maxwell–Bloch equations subject to a time delay. It is shown that the dynamics both within and without the RWA are susceptible to the introduction of time delays in the differential equations. A range of instability scenarios are found as certain parameters are ramped up and down and these can affect the bistable operation of the physical devices. However, the introduction of a time delay can also result in an important positive application; for the first time, as far as the authors are aware, it is shown that a type of butterfly hysteresis can occur in the fundamental component, which is a relatively strong output signal, and may be desired in optical signal processing.

Inhomogeneous and transverse field effects on time delayed optical bistability inside and outside the rotating wave approximation

Yasser Amoun Sharaby, Stephen Lynch, Sarah Hassan

This paper is concerned with non-autonomous Maxwell–Bloch equations when subject to a time delay. We investigate the dynamical behavior of an optical bistable system for inhomogeneous Lorentzian broadening and transverse Gaussian field effects interacting with a single mode ring cavity both inside and outside the rotating wave approximation. Results show that the known bistable behavior of the device can be affected by instabilities. However, in some cases, for instance, when the incident Gaussian laser beam waist is less than that of cylindrical atomic sample, a large butterfly hysteresis is demonstrated in the fundamental field component. As far as the authors are aware, this is the first time that such behavior has been demonstrated.

Optical bistability outside the rotating wave approximation in mixed species

Mona Ali

Optical bistable behavior for a system of inhomogeneously broadened two sorts of two-level atoms in a ring cavity is investigated outside the rotating wave approximation (RWA). The model Maxwell–Bloch equations are treated with Fourier decomposition up to first harmonic. The first harmonic output field component exhibits reversed or mushroom bistability simultaneously with bi- and double-bistability in the fundamental field component. Inhomogeneous broadening and transverse field effects are also considered.

Bistable dynamics beyond rotating wave approximation

Yasser Amoun Sharaby, Stephen Lynch, Amitabh Joshi +1 more

In this paper, we investigate the nonlinear dynamical behavior of dispersive optical bistability (OB) for a homogeneously broadened two-level atomic medium interacting with a single mode of the ring cavity without invoking the rotating wave approximation (RWA). The periodic oscillations (self-pulsing) and chaos of the unstable state of the OB curve is affected by the counter rotating terms through the appearance of spikes during its periods. Further, the bifurcation with atomic detuning, within and outside the RWA, shows that the OB system can be converted from a chaotic system to self-pulsing system and vice-versa.

Mesoscopic multistability outside the rotating wave approximation

Saad S. M. Hassan, Yasser Amoun Sharaby

The interaction of a mesoscopic system of two-level Rydberg atoms with a coherently driven single cavity mode is treated outside the rotating wave approximation (RWA). This yields a system of non-autonomous Maxwell–Bloch equations that can be solved using Fourier decomposition of both field and atomic variables up to first harmonics and to O ( Q −1 ), where Q is the cavity quality factor. For the absorber and amplifier regimes, the first harmonic component of the output field (outside the RWA) exhibits closed hysteresis loops compared with hysteresis cycles for the non-oscillatory (fundamental) component within the RWA. A cooperative switching diagram (output field versus cooperative atomic parameter) outside the RWA shows overlapping branches in the resonant case and closed loops in the non-resonant case.
