Abstract

We report on the development of two all-fiber devices based on a hermetically sealed hollow-core-PCF filled with acetylene at sub-millibar pressure. One device is designed for the generation of electromagnetically-induced transparency and the other for saturable absorption. (2 pages)

We developed a system to investigate resonant nonlinear optical interactions in acetylene molecules, confined in a hollow-core photonic crystal fiber (HC-PCF), using light injection through a low-loss splice from one end of the fiber, allowing us to work at low power. Electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) was observed in the 1500 nm telecommunications window.

We report a set of experimental observations on electromagnetically induced transparency in acetylene filled hollow-core photonic crystal fiber, involving both Lambda-type and V-type interactions over several lines of the R-branch of the nu1 + nu3 ro-vibrational overtone band. Transparency as high as ~70% was achieved. A theoretical account of the sources of decoherence shows that collisions with the inner wall of the fiber core and laser frequency-jitter dominate the coherence decay.

EIT in hollow‐core fibers for optical communications devices

ABSTRACT We developed an experimental setup for electromagnetically induced transparency able to manufacture microcells, suitable for optical fiber communications technology. A hollow‐core photonic crystal fiber (HC‐PCF) is filled with acetylene, to work in the 1500 nm telecommunications window. We used a HC‐PCF with the mode‐field diameter compatible with standard single‐mode fibers, with the purpose of achieving low‐loss splicing and enabling us to work at low pumping powers. This allows to induce a narrow transparency window, which can be spectrally adjusted and dynamically controlled. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Microwave Opt Technol Lett 57:348–352, 2015

We report detailed experimental and theoretical results comparing electromagnetically- induced-transparency obtained in V and Lambda configurations in acetylene-filled-hollow-core PCF. For the same experimental conditions, the EIT in V-scheme shows a stronger peak but larger linewidth.
