Giant Kerr nonlinearity induced by interacting dark resonances

Abstract

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. We attribute this dramatic enhancement to the interaction of dark resonances. (c) 2005 Optical Society of America.

Enhancing Kerr Nonlinearity Via Interacting Dark Resonances

Jianping Song

A theoretical investigation was carried out into the program for enhancing the Kerr nonlinearity by interacting double dark states resonances.Using density-matrix equations and perturbative iterative method,the dependence of the real part of the third-order susceptibility on the variation of the additional coherent driving field detuning was derived.It is found that the maximal Kerr nonlinearity induced by interacting dark resonances increases with increment of the detuning and enters gradually the electromagnetically induced transparency window,in which the corresponding linear absorption vanishes,moreover,by utilizing the dressed state theory,physical mechanisms for the results were presented.The realization of the giant Kerr nonlinearity with vanishing absorption is possible in a generic four-level system with double dark resonances.

Giant Kerr nonlinearity induced by interacting quantum coherences from decays and incoherent pumping

A scheme for generating the giant enhancement of the Kerr nonlinearity in a four-level system with the quantum coherences from the decays and the incoherent pumping is proposed. Compared with that generated in a general four-level system, the Kerr nonlinearity can be enhanced by several orders of magnitude with vanishing linear absorption. By using the numerical results, we show that the remarkable enhancement should be attributed to the interaction of the quantum coherences from the decays and the incoherent pumping.

Enhancement of the nonlinearity via interacting dark resonances

Xiang-an Yan, Liqiang Wang

A scheme for large enhancement of the third-order nonlinearity in a four-level system with double dark resonances is proposed. We obtain an analytical expression for the linear susceptibility and nonlinear susceptibility of a weak probe field and show that the properties of double electromagnetically induced transparency and the Kerr nonlinearity can be modified significantly by changing the ratio of the two coupling fields. A physical understanding of our numerical results using the dressed-state approach is presented. The obtained large nonlinearity with vanishing absorption can be used to generate optical solitons, polarization phase gates and optical Kerr shutters.

Giant Kerr nonlinearity induced by tunneling in triple quantum dot molecules

Si-Cong Tian, Ren-Gang Wan, Cunzhu Tong +3 more

A scheme for giant enhancement of the Kerr nonlinearity in linear triple quantum dot molecules is proposed. In such a system, the tunneling-induced transparency window obtained in double quantum dot molecules splits into two windows, due to the coupling with the third quantum dot. And most important, the Kerr nonlinearity can be enhanced by several orders of magnitude, compared with that generated in double quantum dot molecules. With proper detuning of the tunneling, giant Kerr nonlinearity accompanied by vanishing absorption can be realized, which opens the possibility to enhance self-phase modulation in tunneling controllable semiconductor nanostructures under conditions of low light levels. Quantitative analysis shows that the giant Kerr nonlinearity is attributed to the interacting double dark resonances induced by the tunneling between the triple quantum dots, therefore no extra laser fields are required.

Enhancement of Kerr nonlinearity with vanishing absorption in a tripod scheme

Sun Hui, Niu Yue-Ping, Gong Shang-Qing

The giant enhancement of Kerr nonlinearity in a four-level tripod type system is investigated theoretically. By tuning the value of the Rabi frequency of the coherent control field, owing to the double dark resonances, the giant-enhanced Kerr nonlinearity can be achieved within the right transparency window. The influence of Doppler broadening is also discussed.
