Abstract

This paper presents the Goos-Hänchen (GH) shifts of a probe light beam in a fixed cavity configuration containing the three level V-type atomic medium. We found that in the presence of decay-induced interference, the lateral shifts of both the reflected and transmitted probe light beam can easily be controlled just by the relative phase of applied fields. We also discuss the intensity of the applied field on GH shifts of the reflected and transmitted probe light beam.

The behavior of the Goos—Hänchen (GH) shifts of the reflected and transmitted probe light beams is theoretically investigated. In a fixed geometrical configuration, the effect of quantum interference induced by spontaneous emission on the phase control of the GH shifts is analyzed in this paper. It is found that in a four-level N-type atomic system as an intracavity medium, the GH shifts of the reflected and transmitted probe light beam are completely phase dependent.

Coherent control of the Goos-Hanchen shift

Ziauddin, Qamar S., Sajid Qamar, Muhammad Suhail Zubairy

The behavior of the Goos-Hanchen (GH) shifts in the reflected and transmitted light beam which is incident on a cavity containing an intracavity medium of three-level or four-level atoms with electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) is discussed. We report a coherent control of the GH shift in a fixed configuration or device via superluminal and subluminal wave propagation. For superluminal wave propagation, we observe negative GH shifts in the reflected part of the incident light whereas the shifts are positive in the transmitted light beam. This corresponds to the negative group index of the cavity in the former case and positive group index of the cavity in the latter. For subluminal wave propagation, the behavior of the GH shifts in the reflected light changes and positive shifts appear

Coherent control of the Goos-Hänchen shift

The behavior of the Goos-H\"anchen (GH) shifts in the reflected and transmitted light beam which is incident on a cavity containing an intracavity medium of three-level or four-level atoms with electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) is discussed. We report a coherent control of the GH shift in a fixed configuration or device via superluminal and subluminal wave propagation. For superluminal wave propagation, we observe negative GH shifts in the reflected part of the incident light whereas the shifts are positive in the transmitted light beam. This corresponds to the negative group index of the cavity in the former case and positive group index of the cavity in the latter. For subluminal wave propagation, the behavior of the GH shifts in the reflected light changes and positive shifts appear; however, the GH shifts in the transmitted light remains positive. The corresponding group index of the cavity is positive in both cases.

Control of the Goos-Hänchen shift of a light beam via a coherent driving field

Li‐Gang Wang, Manzoor Ikram, Muhammad Suhail Zubairy

We present a proposal to manipulate the Goos-H\"anchen shift of a light beam via a coherent control field, which is injected into a cavity configuration containing the two-level atomic medium. It is found that the lateral shifts of the reflected and transmitted probe beams can be easily controlled by adjusting the intensity and detuning of the control field. Using this scheme, the lateral shift at the fixed incident angle can be enhanced (positive or negative) under the suitable conditions on the control field, without changing the structure of the cavity.

Control of the Goos-Hänchen shift using a duplicated two-level atomic medium

Ziauddin Ziauddin, Sajid Qamar

Control of Goos-H$\stackrel{\ifmmode \ddot{}\else \"{}\fi{}}{\text{a}}$nchen (GH) shift in reflected and transmitted light is revisited for a Gaussian light incident on a cavity. The intracavity atomic medium follows duplicated two-level atomic configurations where two fields, i.e., a strong control field and a relatively weak probe field are employed [F. A. Hashmi and M. A. Bouchene, Phys. Rev. Lett. 101, 213601 (2008)]. The coherent control is achieved via phase shift $\ensuremath{\phi}$ between control and probe fields. The effect of incident light width on negative or positive GH shifts and distortion in the reflected and transmitted light is investigated.
