Abstract

In this thesis, quantum coherent control of dynamic properties of double-dark-resonance atomic systems is pursued in detail. First we show our scheme for creating atomic coherent superposition states via the technique of stimulated Raman adiabatic passage in a Lambda-type four-level system. With the application of a control field, it is found that the presence of double dark states leads to two arbitrary coherent superposition states with equal amplitude but inverse relative phases, even though the condition of multiphoton resonance is not met. The suitable manipulation of the control field and detunings enables the proposed scheme to create any coherent superposition states one desired. Then, in the above mentioned double-dark-resonant system, a scheme for giant enhancement of the Kerr nonlinearity is put forward. Compared with that generated in a single-dark-resonance system, the Kerr nonlinearity can be enhanced by several orders of magnitude with vanishing linear absorption. We attribute this dramatic enhancement to the interaction of dark resonances. As another possible means for enhancement of Kerr nonlinearity, spontaneously generated coherence is proposed. Meanwhile, a theoretical investigation is carried out in a five-level tripod system for obtaining a high efficiency double-channel four-wave-mixing process. By manipulating the intensity of the two coupling fields, the conversion efficiency of four-wave-mixing can be controlled.

Creation of atomic coherent superposition states via the technique of stimulated Raman adiabatic passage using a Λ -type system with a manifold of levels

We propose a scheme for creating atomic coherent superposition states via the technique of stimulated Raman adiabatic passage in a $\ensuremath{\Lambda}$-type system where the final state has twofold levels. With the application of a control field, it is found that the presence of double dark states leads to two arbitrary coherent superposition states with equal amplitude but inverse relative phases, even though the condition of multiphoton resonance is not met. In particular, two orthogonal maximal coherent superposition states are created when the control field is resonant with the transition of the twofold levels. This scheme can also be extended to manifold $\ensuremath{\Lambda}$-type systems.

We propose a scheme for creating atomic coherent superpositions via stimulated Raman adiabatic passage in a Lambda-type system where the final state has twofold levels. In the employ of a control field, the presence of double dark states leads to two arbitrary coherent superposition states with equal amplitude but inverse relative phase without the condition of multi-photon resonance. In particular, two orthogonal maximal coherent superposition states are created when the control field is resonant with the transition of the twofold levels.

Creation of arbitrary coherent superposition states in four-level systems

Shangqing Gong, Yueping Niu

Using the technique of stimulated Raman adiabatic passage, we propose schemes for creating arbitrary coherent superposition states of atoms in four-level systems: a Λ-type system with twofold final states and a four-level ladder system. With the use of a control field, arbitrary coherent superposition states are created without the condition of multiphoton resonance. Suitable manipulation of detunings and the control field can create either a single state or any superposition states desired.

A scheme for giant enhancement of the Kerr nonlinearity in a four-level system with double dark resonances is proposed. Compared with that generated in a single-dark-resonance system, the Kerr nonlinearity can be enhanced by several orders of magnitude with vanishing linear absorption.

Coherent control of Kerr nonlinearity via double dark resonances

A. Rahelia, M. Sahraib, A. Namdarc +1 more

A theoretical scheme for enhanced Kerr nonlinearity is proposed in a four-level ladder-type atomic system based on double dark resonances (DDRs). We solve the relevant density matrix equations in steady state and utilize the perturbation theory to obtain the analytical expressions for the third order susceptibility of the atomic system. The influence of system parameters on behavior of the first and third order susceptibilities is then discussed. In particular, it is found that an enhanced Kerr nonlinearity with reduced linear and nonlinear absorption is obtained around zero probe detuning under the slow light condition through proper adjusting the laser field intensity and frequency detuning of driving fields. The dressed state analysis is employed to explain the physical origin of the obtained result. The obtained results may be important for all-optical signal processing and quantum information technology.
