The Cross-Phase Kerr Nolinearity Via Quantum Interference in Four-level Tripod-type Atomic System

Abstract

The susceptibility of the probe field in a four-level tripod-type atomic system as a function of the probe detuning is calculated.The results show that the absorption and dispersion of probe field near EIT resonance can be significantly changed while a trigger beam interacting with a transition in this system.With the increase of Rabi frequency of trigger beam,the absorption of probe beam at EIT window becomes smaller,and its dispersion becomes larger.Such changes of susceptibility of probe beam caused by a trigger beam are corresponding to the third Kerr nonlinearity,which have an application in polarization phase gate.

Enhanced cross-Kerr nonlinearity via electromagnetically induced transparency in a four-level tripod atomic system

Xudong Yang, Shujing Li, Chun-Hong Zhang +1 more

We investigate, both theoretically and experimentally, the cross-Kerr nonlinearity generated in a four-level tripod system in the 87Rb D1 line. The system exhibits simultaneous electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) windows for two weak (probe and trigger) fields and the enhanced cross-Kerr nonlinearity by EIT. The cross-Kerr nonlinear phase shifts for probe (trigger) field are measured at several different intensities of trigger (probe) field. The results show that large cross-phase modulation (XPM) coefficients can be achieved at low light intensities.

Large Cross-phase Modulation Based on Double EIT in a Four-level Tripod Atomic System

Shujing Li, Xudong Yang, Xuemin Cao +3 more

We report the experimental observations on the simultaneous EIT effects for probe and trigger fields (double EIT) as well as the large cross-phase modulation (XPM) between the two fields in a four-level tripod EIT system of the D1 line of 87Rb atoms. The XPM coefficients (larger than 2*10-5cm2/W) and the accompanying transmissions (higher than 60%) are measured at slightly detuning of the probe field from the exact EIT resonance condition. The presented system can be applied in the recently proposed quantum information processing with weak cross-Kerr nonlinearities.

The Influence of Dephasing Rate on Nonlinearity in a Four-Level EIT System

Hai Wang

We theoretically investigates the influences of dephasing rate on cross-Kerr nonlinearity(XPM) in the Four-level Tripod system.The results show that cross-Kerr nonlinearity become larger with the decreasing of the atomic dephasing rate.When the dephasing rate changes from 2.5 MHz to 0.2 MHz,the probe and trigger XPM coefficients will increase by one order of magnitude.

The system and enhanced cross-Kerr nonlinearities presented here can be applied to quantum information processes.

The EIT Effects and Optical Switch of Tripod-type Four-level Atom System

Jun Zheng

The quantum effects of a tripod-type four-level atom system interacting with three light fileds are studied.Under certain conditions,our calculations show that along with the change of Rabi frequencies of the driving field,the curve of dispersion changes from abnormal chromatic dispersion to normal chromatic dispersion,thus the optical switching effect has appeared.When the parameter is certain,there is a phenomenon of electromagnetic induction transparency in resonance near resonance case.
