Abstract

The solution for the equations of atomic density matrix is obtained, without resorting to any approximation, in the Ξ-type of three-level system with lower-level coherence. The conditions on pumping are analyzed in the strong-coherence case for lasing without inversion and the saturation term is derived.

Lasing without Inversion in Open Three-level System

Ping‐Xing Chen

The LWI operation condition for an open Λ-type three level atomic system is obtained by solving the steady-state density-matrix equation with the system being driven by a strong coherent field while the inherent pumping rate and decay rate being arbitrary.It is shown that the inversions of inherent pumping rate and spontaneous decay rate replace the inversion of population,and together help to realize lasing without population inversion.Furthermore,the LWI can be realized if just either one of the two inversions is fulfilled.A schrodinger equation of three-level atomic system with appropriate conditions is analytically solved to explain the quantum interference process that leads to LWI.

EXTERNAL-FIELD-INDUCED COHERENCE AND LASING WITHOUT INVERSION: THE V-TYPE SYSTEM

Zhenfei Luo, Zhizhan Xu, 中国科学院上海光学精密机械研究所,上海201800

The conditions for realizing lasing without inversion are investigated via density matrix method in bare and dressed states in the V-type closed lifetime-broadened system where atomic coherence is induced by an external electromagnetic field. It is shown that a proper choice of pumping rate may lead to the realization of lasing without inversion.

Realization of lasing without inversion in the system with lower-level coherence

Zhenfei Luo, Zhizhan Xu

It is shown that the ladder system with lower-level coherence may be used to obtain lasing without inversion. The present model system has several important features. (1) No requirement is placed on atomic decay rates. (2) The Rabi frequency of coherence-driving field must exceed a lower threshold. (3) An unidirectional pumping is indispensable. (4) A dressed-state-coherence origin of gain is proved without strong coherence-driving field approximation.

ATOMIC COHERENCE INDUCED BY TWO-PHOTON PROCESS——TRANSITION FROM LASING WITH INVERSION TO LASING WITHOUT INVERSION

Xiangming Hu, Wang Dexin, (1)华中师范大学物理系; (2)华中师范大学应用物理研究所

In this paper, the pumping mechanism in the closed Ξ-type three-level system can be simplified using the coherence induced by the two-photon process. The system exhibits either lasing with inversion or lasing without inversion so long as there exists the pumping field. The system exhibits the transition from lasing with inverson to lasing without inversion under certain conditions. Near the transition lasing without inversion may be as efficient as lasing with inversion.

Deng-Yu Zhang

A three-level Λ-type atomic system is pumped by an incoherent radiation field. The system lases without population inversion in the steady state. We analyze the inversionless gain and origin of the gain.
