Abstract

Abstract In this letter, controllable optical bistability (OB) and optical multistability (OM) in a defect slab doped with a single-layer graphene nanostructure are proposed. Our numerical results show that it is easy to control OB by Rabi frequencies of coupling fields, detuning of coherent fields, and relative phase of applied fields. Moreover, the thickness effect of the slab is considered as a new parameter for controlling the OB behaviors. It is found that the transition from OB to OM or vice versa can be made possible by the thickness of the slab and relative phase of the applied fields. We hope that our results will have potential applications in quantum information science and technology based nanoscale devices.

Controlling of optical bistability and multistability in a defect slab

Masoud Jabbari

Abstract Optical bistability (OB) and optical multistability (OM) due to wide applications in all-optical switching and transistors is studied in this paper. Here, we study the OB and OM properties of incident light in a defect slab doped by a GaAs quantum well (QW) nanostructure. It is shown that OB and OM features can be manipulated by spin coherence created by circular polarized laser fields in GaAs QWs. The impacts of laser field features, such as intensity, frequency detuning, and relative phase, on OB and OM are simulated. Moreover, the dependence of OB and OM features of a probe light on the thickness of the slab, then, are analyzed. It is found that the thickness of the slab can provide a new way to optimize the intensity threshold of OB and OM. We hope that our proposed model may be useful for developing all-optical devices on nanoscales.

Optical bistability and multistability in a defect slab doped by GaAs/AlGaAs multiple quantum wells

Seyyed Hossein Asadpour, Ghahraman Solookinejad, M. Panahi +1 more

We proposed a new model for controlling the optical bistability (OB) and optical multistability (OM) in a defect slab doped with four-level GaAs/AlGaAs multiple quantum wells with 15 periods of 17.5 nm GaAs wells and 15-nm Al 0.3 Ga 0.7 As barriers. The effects of biexciton energy renormalization, exciton spin relaxation, and thickness of the slab on the OB and OM properties of the defect slab were theoretically investigated. We found that the transition from OB to OM or vice versa is possible by adjusting the controllable parameters in a lab. Moreover, the transmission, reflection, and absorption properties of the weak probe light through the slab were also discussed in detail.

All-optical switching between optical bistability and multistability in a defect dielectric medium doped with a multiple quantum well nanostructure

Seyyed Hossein Asadpour, Ghahraman Solookinejad, M. Panahi +1 more

In this paper, optical bistability (OB) and multistability (OM) properties of a defect dielectric slab are studied. A GsAs multiple quantum well nanostructure (MQW) with 17.5 nm GaAs wells and 15 nm Al(0.3) Ga(0.7) barriers is used in the dielectric medium as a defect layer. Therefore, properties of the refractive index of the slab can be changed in the presence of MQWs. It is observed that switching from OB to OM can be obtained by controlling some external parameters. We find that the exciton spin relaxation and thickness of the slab have essential roles in adjusting the OB and OM properties of the probe light through the slab. Moreover, transmission, reflection, and absorption properties of the propagating pulse through the slab are also discussed. We show that the subluminal and superluminal light transmission or reflection can be obtained via amplification of the probe pulse through the medium. We hope that our proposed model may be suitable for the development of nanoscale devices in all-optical quantum information technology.

Optical bistability in a defect slab with a negative refractive quantum dot nanostructure

M. Jamshidnejad, E. Asadi Amirabadi, Sedigheh Miraboutalebi +1 more

We demonstrate optical bistability (OB) in a defect slab doped V-type four-level InGaN/GaN quantum dot nanostructure in the negative refraction frequency band. It has been shown that the OB behavior of such a quantum dot nanostructure system can be controlled by the amplitude of the driving fields and a new parameter for controlling the OB behavior as thickness of the slab medium in the negative refraction band. Meanwhile, we show that the negative refraction frequency band can be controlled by tuning electric permittivity and magnetic permeability by the amplitude of the driving fields and electron concentration in the defect slab doped. Under the numerical simulations, due to the effect of quantum coherence and interference, it is possible to switch bistability by adjusting the optimal conditions in the negative refraction frequency band, which is more practical in all-optical switching or coding elements, and technology based nanoscale devices.

Phase control of optical bistability and multistability in closed-type Landau-quantized graphene

Duo Zhang, Rong Yu, Chunling Ding +3 more

Abstract We investigate the dynamic characteristics of a Landau-quantized graphene monolayer system interacting with three infrared laser probe fields in a monodirectional ring cavity, and analyse the input–output properties of the infrared laser probe field under a steady-state condition. The results show that we can effectively control the appearance or disappearance of optical bistability (OB) or optical multistability (OM) by adjusting the relative phase of three coherent fields, the coupling field intensity, as well as the frequency detunings of the probe field and the control field. In addition, we discuss in detail the influences of the left-hand and right-hand circularly polarized component intensity of the control field on the behaviors of OB and OM. Our investigation may be used to build more efficient logic-gate devices to realize an all-optic switching process.

Optical multistability in 1D photonic crystal doped with carbon-nanotube quantum dot nanostructures

Ghahraman Solookinejad, Mohammad Payravi, Masoud Jabbari +2 more

Abstract The optical bistability (OB) and multistability (OM) in one-dimensional photonic crystals doped with carbon-nanotube quantum dots (CNT QDs) is theoretically investigated. Our investigations show that due to spin–orbit coupling in CNT QDs the threshold of optical bistability can be adjusted. Also, the switching from OB to OM, or vice versa, can be achieved by controlling the transverse magnetic field. Our proposed model can be used as a suitable structure based on CNT QDs for realizing all-optical switching devices. Moreover, we realize that the controlling of OB and OM can be done without changing the thickness of the layers.
