Experimental distinction of electromagnetically induced transparency and Autler-Townes splitting using mechanical systems

Abstract

Here we first experimentally demonstrated the electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) and Autler-Townes splitting (ATS) effects in mechanical coupled pendulums. Exploiting Akaike information criterion, these two effects could be discerned. The analogue of EIT and ATS is also discussed in mechanical systems.

Experimental distinction of Autler-Townes splitting from electromagnetically induced transparency using coupled mechanical oscillators system

Jingliang Liu, Hujiang Yang, Chuan Xi Wang +2 more

Here we experimentally demonstrated the electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) and Autler-Townes splitting (ATS) effects in mechanical coupled pendulums. The analogue of EIT and ATS has been studied in mechanical systems and the intrinsic physics between these two phenomena are also been discussed. Exploiting the Akaike Information Criterion, we discern the ATS effect from EIT effect in our experimental results.

Autler-Townes Splitting vs. Electromagnetically Induced Transparency: Objective Criterion to Discern Between Them in any Experiment

Petr M. Anisimov, Jonathan P. Dowling, Barry C. Sanders

Autler-Townes splitting (ATS) and electromagnetically-induced transparency (EIT) both yield transparency in an absorption profile, but only EIT yields strong transparency for a weak pump field due to Fano interference. Empirically discriminating EIT from ATS is important but so far has been subjective. We introduce an objective method, based on Akaike's information criterion, to test ATS vs. EIT from experimental data and determine which pertains. We apply our method to a recently reported induced-transparency experiment in superconducting circuit quantum electrodynamics.

Discerning electromagnetically induced transparency from Autler-Townes splitting in plasmonic waveguide and coupled resonators system

Lingyan He, Tie-Jun Wang, Yong‐Pan Gao +2 more

Electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) and Autler-Townes splitting (ATS) are two phenomena that can affect the transmission of a probe field in the presence of a stronger field, both yielding transparency in the absorption profile. Being able to discriminate these two similar but distinct phenomena is of vital importance. Here we propose a scheme to describe the EIT and ATS phenomena in a plasmonic system. The proposed system consists of one radiative resonator and one subradiant resonator in metal-insulator-metal waveguide, and the transition is observed from the ATS model to the EIT model through three qualitative regions as the coupling strength decreases. In addition, we apply the method proposed by Anisimov to the induced transparency spectrum in our model, and numerically discerning EIT from ATS based on the Akaike's information criterion in a clear way.

Objectively Discerning Autler-Townes Splitting from Electromagnetically Induced Transparency

Petr M. Anisimov, Jonathan P. Dowling, Barry C. Sanders

Autler-Townes splitting (ATS) and electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) both yield transparency in an absorption profile, but only EIT yields strong transparency for a weak pump field due to Fano interference. Empirically discriminating EIT from ATS is important but so far has been subjective. We introduce an objective method, based on Akaike's information criterion, to test ATS vs EIT from experimental data for three-level atomic systems and determine which pertains. We apply our method to a recently reported induced-transparency experiment in superconducting-circuit quantum electrodynamics.

Distinction of electromagnetically induced transparency and Autler-Towners splitting in a Rydberg-involved ladder-type cold atom system

Zhonghua Ji, Yuechun Jiao, Yongmei Xue +3 more

Electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) and Autler-Townes splitting (ATS) are two similar quantum coherent phenomena but have different mechanisms and applications. Akaike information criteria (AIC), an objective method to discriminate EIT and ATS from an experimental viewpoint, has been employed in a variety of systems. Here we use AIC method to quantitively discriminate a series of spectra of cold atoms in a Rydberg-involved upper-driving ladder-type. The derived weights of EIT and ATS reflect that our spectra change from EIT-ATS intermediate region to ATS-dominated region along Rabi frequency of coupling field increases. We find that there are two factors affecting EIT-ATS weights in a Rydberg-involved three-level system: dephasing rate, induced by the interactions among Rydberg atoms, makes the EIT-ATS crossover move to the direction of low Rabi frequency of coupling field and the experimental noise makes the difference between EIT and ATS weights reduce at elsewhere. Our investigation could provide a meaningful reference for the observations and applications of Rydberg-involved quantum coherent spectroscopy.

Crossover between electromagnetically induced transparency and Autler–Townes splitting with dispersion

Xiaogang Lu, Xingxu Miao, Jin-Hai Bai +5 more

Based on Akaike's information criterion (AIC) for a coherently driven ensemble of cold rubidium atoms, we study the crossover between electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) and Autler–Townes (AT) splitting from the dispersion as well as the absorption viewpoint. We find that the dispersion signal is more sensitive than the absorption signal, showing more pronounced features in the Akaike per-point weights spectrum, which provides a cleaner way of discerning EIT from AT splitting.
