Abstract

Stochastic-resonance is experimentally demonstrated in optical bistability from an optical ring cavity containing three-level (A-type) rubidium atoms. The results obtained match well qualitatively with the theoretical predictions of the generic model for the SR phenomenon.

Stochastic resonance in atomic optical bistability

Amitabh Joshi, Min Xiao

Stochastic resonance (SR) is experimentally demonstrated in an atomic optical bistable system consisting of three-level atoms in $\ensuremath{\Lambda}$-type configuration confined in an optical ring cavity. The optical bistable system with enhanced Kerr nonlinearity due to atomic coherence is driven by a periodic signal and a Gaussian white noise source with variable amplitude, and displays an improved output signal-to-noise ratio, a characteristic signature of SR. The measured results match qualitatively with the theoretical predictions of the generic model for the SR phenomenon.

Experimentally controlled optical bistability and multistability in a three-level atomic system

Amitabh Joshi, Min Xiao

Optical bistability and multistability are experimentally demonstrated in an optical ring cavity containing three-level (Λ-type) rubidium atoms. They are sensitive to the induced atomic coherence and can be controlled by coupling field and atomic density.

Bistability and instability of three-level atoms inside an optical cavity

Hai Wang, David J. Goorskey, Min Xiao

Optical bistability and dynamic instability are experimentally observed and studied in a system consisting of three-level $\ensuremath{\Lambda}$-type rubidium atoms in an optical ring cavity. The bistable behavior and self-pulsing frequency are experimentally manipulated by changing the controlling and cavity field parameters (power and frequency). These nonlinear effects are influenced by the enhanced Kerr nonlinearity due to atomic coherence in such a system.

Controlling the dynamic instability of three-level atoms inside an optical ring cavity

Wenge Yang, Amitabh Joshi, Min Xiao

Dynamic instability in the transmission field of an optical ring cavity containing three-level A-type rubidium atoms is studied in detail both experimentally and theoretically. A generalized theoretical model is developed to describe the full dynamics of such system and good agreement was obtained between the theoretical calculations and experimental observations.

Optical Multistability in Three-Level Atoms inside an Optical Ring Cavity

Amitabh Joshi, Min Xiao

Optical multistability in an optical ring cavity filled with a collection of three-level Lambda-type rubidium atoms has been experimentally demonstrated. The observed multistability is very sensitive to the induced atomic coherence in the system and can evolve from a normal bistable behavior with the change of the coupling field as well as the atomic number density. The underlying mechanism for the formation of such multistability is also discussed.
