Abstract

The transmission and reflection properties of a pulse through a slab doped with quantum dots near a plasmonic nanostructure are investigated theoretically. It is found that by adjusting the distance between plasmonic nanostructure and dual quantum dots which is varied from 8.8 nanometer (nm) to 14.4 nanometer (nm) the transmission and reflection spectra for incident pulse through the slab can be modified. Furthermore, it is found that in the presence of plasmonic nanostructure, the reflected and transmitted pulses are completely phase dependent. Therefore, the group velocity of the reflected and transmitted pulses can be switched from slow to fast light by changing the phase difference of two laser fields.

Infrared control of slow light in a slab doped by InGaN / GaN quantum dot nanostructure

Hossein Jafarzadeh, Elnaz Ahmadi Sangachin, Seyyed Hossein Asadpour

In this paper, we proposed a model for controlling the group velocity of the transmitted and reflected pulses in a slab medium doped by four-level quantum dot nanostructure. Here, an infrared signal field interacted by quantum dot nanostructure can affect the behavior of reflected and transmitted pulses. We show that in the presence and absence of infrared pulses, the other controllable parameters have essential roles for controlling the slow and fast light propagation through the medium. Moreover, we found that the simultaneous slow and fast light can be obtained for the transmitted and reflected pulses by infrared signal field. Our proposed model may be useful for ultrahigh density optical memories in quantum communication systems or in various fields of all-optical systems.

Tunable phase control of slow and fast light propagation in a slab doped by four-level quantum dot nanostructure

Hossein Jafarzadeh, Elnaz Ahmadi Sangachin, Seyyed Hossein Asadpour

Tunable phase control of the slow and fast light propagation through a defect slab medium doped by four-level InGaN/GaN quantum dot structure is demonstrated. By solving the Schrödinger and Poisson’s equations self-consistently, a spherical InGaN quantum dot with GaN barrier shell which can interact by terahertz (THz) signal field is designed numerically. It is found that the phase variation of THz signal field imparts the tunability in the group velocity of the transmitted and reflected pulses through a dielectric slab.

Pulse propagation through a dielectric slab doped with a triple quantum dot nanostructure

Rajab Nasehi, Mohammad Mahmoudi, Mostafa Sahrai

Abstract The propagation of an electromagnetic pulse through a dielectric slab doped with a triple quantum dot (QD) nanostructure has been discussed in the presence of electron tunneling. We include the effect of an incoherent pump field in the transmission and reflection of a pulse in a triple QD. It is shown that the reflected and transmitted pulses can be switched from subluminal to superluminal light propagation by changing either the rate of the incoherent pump field or the inter-dot tunneling between QD1, QD2 and QD3 in a slab. Furthermore, it is demonstrated that the inter-dot tunnel coupling can significantly affect the behavior of optical bistability (OB) and optical multi-stability (OM) in a dielectric slab. The obtained results can be used for the development of new types of nanoelectronic devices for realizing the switching process.

Diffractionless transmission of optical beams through a four-level atomic system affected by a plasmonic nanostructure

A nondiffracting propagation of an optical beam through a four-level double-V-type quantum system near a plasmonic nanostructure is investigated. We study the linear absorption and dispersion properties of the quantum system as it interacts with two laser fields. We discuss the effect of the control beam with a Laguerre-Gaussian (LG) profile on the focusing of the probe beam in the presence of a plasmonic nanostructure. An appropriately selected control beam excites one transition of the atomic system and generates a spatially varying refraction index modulation for a weak probe beam that couples to the other transition. We demonstrate that placing a plasmonic nanostructure at a nanometer distance from the atomic system and using a control field with the spatial structure leads to the diffraction-less propagation of the probe beam through the atomic system. Also, it is shown that the optical properties and probe beam focusing can be controlled by adjusting the distance of the plasmonic nanostructure from the atomic system. The proposed all-optical waveguide with high contrast and transmission can be used to implement applications such as image transfer through the medium and image processing.

Controlling of group velocity via terahertz signal radiation in a defect medium doped by four-level InGaN/GaN quantum dot nanostructure

Hossein Jafarzadeh, Elnaz Ahmadi Sangachin, Seyyed Hossein Asadpour

In this paper, we propose a novel scheme for controlling the group velocity of transmitted and reflected pulse from defect medium doped with four-level InGaN/GaN quantum dot nanostructure. Quantum dot nanostructure is designed numerically by Schrödinger and Poisson equations which solve self consistently. By size control of quantum dot and external voltage, one can design a four-level quantum dot with appropriate energy levels which can be suitable for controlling the group velocity of pulse transmission and reflection from defect slab with terahertz signal field. It is found that in the presence and absence of terahertz signal field the behaviors of transmission and reflection pulses are completely different. Moreover, it is shown that for strong terahertz signal field, by changing the thickness of the slab, simultaneous peak and dip for transmission and reflection pulse are obtained.

Manipulating transmission and reflection properties of a photonic crystal doped with quantum dot nanostructures

Ghahraman Solookinejad, M. Panahi, Elnaz Ahmadi Sangachin +1 more

The transmission and reflection properties of incident light in a defect dielectric structure is studied theoretically. The defect structure consists of donor and acceptor quantum dot nanostructures embedded in a photonic crystal. It is shown that the transmission and reflection properties of incident light can be controlled by adjusting the corresponding parameters of the system. The role of dipole–dipole interaction is considered as a new parameter in our calculations. It is noted that the features of transmission and reflection curves can be adjusted in the presence of dipole–dipole interaction. It is found that the absorption of weak probe light can be converted to the probe amplification in the presence of dipole–dipole interaction. Moreover, the group velocity of transmitted and reflected probe light is discussed in detail in the absence and presence of dipole–dipole interaction. Our proposed model can be used as a new all-optical devices based on photonic materials doped with nanoparticles.
