Electromagnetically Induced Transparency in a Ladder-Type Three-Level Atom-Cavity System

Abstract

We discuss the features of the electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) in a ladder-type three-level atom-cavity system. It is shown that the presence of the strong pump field leads to the appearance of two additional windows. Meanwhile, the dispersion profiles are also modified. A steep dispersion appears in each reflection peak. The position of these windows depends on the values of the detuning Delta(2) of the control field. Moreover, it is viable to create the gain profiles when the cavity detuning Delta(c) not equal 0.

Electromagnetically induced transparency of single Λ-type three-level atoms in a high-finesse optical cavity

Yan-Fen Sun, Lei Tan, Yan Xu

We study the features of electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) in a single Λ-type three-level atom placed in a high-finesse cavity under the action of a coupling laser and a probe laser. Our calculations show that three transparency windows appear when the pump strength is large enough. This can be explained by the residual pump in the cavity mostly resulting in energy splitting. The level |3〉 is split into four slightly different energy levels, and interference takes place between the excitation pathways. Furthermore, it is also shown that the frequencies of the EIT windows can be tuned by changing the coupling field detuning Δ 2 , and that the reflection profile is very sensitive to the cavity field detuning Δ c .

Cavity electromagnetically induced transparency of driven-three-level atoms: A transparent window narrowing below a natural width

Cleo L. Bentley, Jiaren Liu, Yan Biao Liao

Steady-state dynamics of a \ensuremath{\Lambda} atom in a ring cavity driven by two coherent fields are studied for arbitrary detunings, arbitrary incoherent pumping, and coherent driving intensities. Effects of both cavity and effective atom number on electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) are pointed out. New physical pictures for cavity EIT are given in terms of collective cooperative coefficients and dispersion experienced by the probe. In the regime of smaller collective cooperative coefficients, an absorption-gain profile is reduced to that of a general EIT estimated by the imaginary part of a corresponding dipole moment, and its transparency window is directly proportional to power broadening, if the total Rabi frequency is large enough. But in the region of larger collective cooperative coefficients which means a dense atomic medium, longer optical path, or high-Q cavity, EIT is determined not only by the imaginary part but also by the real part of the corresponding dipole moment, which results in the possibility of observing an EIT central peak with a subnatural width, while there may be nearly no power broadening.

Multiple electromagnetically induced transparency in a quasi-Λ type four-level atomic system

Xiangwei Wang, Xiangyang Zhang

Using density matrix eqution, the absorption and dispersion properties of a A-type four-level system driven by coherent fields are investigated. The result obtained by means of numerical method indicates that by adjusting the intensity of Rabi frequencies of the coherent field in the steady state, three, double or single electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) can appear explicitly in this system. And the explanations of these phenomena are given by using the dressed states. In the three EIT, the location of transparent windows can be manipulated by controlling the detuning of the driving field. What's more, it is also found that the medium shows a large refractive index at each transparency window, and the group velocity of the probe laser can be enhanced.

Atomic coherence effects in four-level systems: Doppler-free absorption within an electromagnetically-induced-transparency window

S. N. Sandhya, K. K. Sharma

We report here an effect in a four-level ladderlike system, which is in contrast to the usual quantum interference effects such as electromagnetically induced transperency (EIT) or coherent population trapping: we predict the occurrence of a narrow absorption peak within the EIT window when an EIT atomic system interacts with an additional driving rf field. The Doppler-free-central absorption appears when the three-photon resonance condition is satisfied. In the limit of the rf field strength ${\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Omega}}}_{\mathrm{rf}}$\ensuremath{\rightarrow}0, the usual EIT profile is recovered.

Electromagnetically Induced Transparency Window in the System of Four-level Configuration

Wu Han-Hua

The absorption and dispersion properties of an N-type four-level system with Doppler(broadening) effect were investigated.In this system we considered two coherent fields and a probe field.When the second coherent field is absent,this system is a single three-level configuration,and the absorption line is just one clear electromagnetically induced transparency(EIT) window.While the second coherent field exists,there are two EIT windows which become wide and deep with the(coherent) intensity increasing.The position width and absorbance of the transparency windows can be manipulated by adjusting the detuning of the driving field.In addition,we also found that the medium shows a large refractive index at each transparency window,and the group velocity of the probe laser can be reduced.
