Abstract

The concept behind using a Gaussian-shaped probe beam to control the Goos-H\"anchen shift using a duplicated two-level atomic medium inside a cavity [Phys. Rev. A 85, 055804 (2012)] is presented. It is obvious from the analysis that by using certain approximations, the required conditions can be imposed on the probe field corresponding to the Gaussian-shaped incident beam and control field driving the intracavity atomic medium.

Comment on “Control of the Goos-Hänchen shift using a duplicated two-level atomic medium”

F. A. Hashmi, M. A. Bouchène

The recent paper by Ziauddin and Qamar [Phys. Rev. A 85, 055804 (2012)] proposes control of the Goos-H\"anchen shift of a Gaussian field incident on a cavity containing duplicated two-level atoms. This control relies on phase control of the optical response of the intracavity medium that has been demonstrated earlier [Phys. Rev. Lett. 101, 213601 (2008)]. We show that the authors make an incorrect use of the results of this latter paper.

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.

Gain-assisted control of the Goos-Hänchen shift

Ziauddin Ziauddin, Sajid Qamar

A gain-assisted model is considered to study the Goos-H$\stackrel{\ifmmode \ddot{}\else \"{}\fi{}}{\text{a}}$nchen (GH) shift behavior in the reflected and transmitted light. In this model, a probe light is incident on a cavity containing three-level dilute gaseous atomic medium. The atom-field interaction follows two-photon Raman transitions, and the dielectric susceptibility of the medium exhibits dispersion and gain properties [L. J. Wang, A. Kuzmich, and A. Dogariu, Nature (London) 406, 227 (2000)]. Under appropriate conditions, two gain peaks are observed with anomalous dispersion between the peaks, whereas normal dispersion can be observed at and around the gain maxima. The manipulation of the detuning associated with the probe light field which interacts with the intracavity medium during its propagation through the cavity can lead to a control over negative and positive GH shift in the reflected and transmitted light beam via the anomalous and normal dispersion of the medium.

Control of the Goos–Hänchen shifts of a probe light beam using phase tunability of the intracavity medium

Arash Radmehr, Mostafa Sahrai, Hamed Sattari

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.

Coherent control of the Goos-Hänchen shift

Ziauddin Ziauddin, Sajid Qamar, Muhammad Suhail Zubairy

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.

Coherent control of the Goos-Hnchen shift in four-level atomic medium

苏佳妮 Su Jiani, Wenwu Deng, Gao‐xiang Li

The manipulation of the Goos-Hnchen shifts in the reflected and transmitted light beam through a cavity containing four-level atomic medium is investigated by modifying the dispersion-absorption properties of the intracavity medium. Via two external coherent control fields, the Goos-Hnchen shifts of the reflected and transmitted beam can be easily controlled. It is found that around the transparent region of the medium, the Goos-Hnchen shifts are very sensitive and can be enhanced as compared with strong absorption and amplification.
