Abstract

We present a coherent population trapping based scheme to attain sub-nanoscale resolution for microscopy using three-level atoms coupled to two optical fields---amplitude modulated probe field and a spatially dependent coupling field.

Subnanoscale resolution for microscopy via coherent population trapping

Kishore T. Kapale, G. S. Agarwal

We present a coherent-population-trapping-based scheme to attain subnanoscale resolution for microscopy. We use three-level atoms coupled to an amplitude modulated probe field and a spatially dependent (standing-wave or Laguerre-Gaussian) coupling field. The probe field modulation allows us to tap into the steep dispersion normally associated with electromagnetically induced transparency and offers subnanometer resolution using optical fields.

Sub-nanoscale Resolution for Atom Localization, Lithography and Microscopy via Coherent Population Trapping

Kishore T. Kapale, G. S. Agarwal

We present a coherent population trapping based scheme to attain sub-nanoscale resolution for atom localization, microscopy and lithography. Our method uses three-level atoms coupled to amplitude modulated probe field and spatially dependent drive field. The modulation of the probe field allows us to tap into the steep dispersion normally associated with electromagnetically induced transparency and offers an avenue to attain sub-nanometer resolution using just optical fields. We illustrate application of the techniques to the area of microscopy and lithography and show how multilevel schemes offer the possibility of improving resolution further.
