Amplitude and phase controlled absorption and dispersion of coherently driven five-level atom in double-band photonic crystal

Abstract

The absorption–dispersion properties of a microwave-driven five-level atom embedded in an isotropic photonic bandgap (PBG) have been studied. Due to the singular density of modes (DOM) in the isotropic PBG and the dynamically coherence induced by the coupling fields, modified reservoir-induced transparency and quantum interference-induced transparency emerge simultaneously. Their interaction leads to ultra-narrow spectral structure. As a result of closed-loop configuration, these features can be manipulated by the amplitudes and relative phase of the coherently driven fields. The position and width of PBG also have an influence on the spectra. The theoretical studies can provide us with more efficient methods to control the atomic absorption–dispersion properties, which have applications in optical switching and slow light.

Controllable Absorption and Dispersion Properties of an RF-driven Five-Level Atom in a Double-Band Photonic-Band-Gap Material

Chunling Ding, Jiahua Li, Xiaoxue Yang

The probe absorption-dispersion spectra of a radio-frequency (RF)-driven five-level atom embedded in a photonic crystal are investigated by considering the isotropic double-band photonic-band-gap (PBG) reservoir. In the model used, the two transitions are, respectively, coupled by the upper and lower bands in such a PBG material, thus leading to some curious phenomena. Numerical simulations are performed for the optical spectra. It is found that when one transition frequency is inside the band gap and the other is outside the gap, there emerge three peaks in the absorption spectra. However, for the case that two transition frequencies lie inside or outside the band gap, the spectra display four absorption profiles. Especially, there appear two sharp peaks in the spectra when both transition frequencies exist inside the band gap. The influences of the intensity and frequency of the RF-driven field on the absorptive and dispersive response are analyzed under different band-edge positions. It is found that a transparency window appears in the absorption spectra and is accompanied by a very steep variation of the dispersion profile by adjusting system parameters. These results show that the absorption-dispersion properties of the system depend strongly on the RF-induced quantum interference and the density of states (DOS) of the PBG reservoir.

Spontaneous emission from a microwave-driven four-level atom in an anisotropic photonic crystal

Jiang Li, Ren-Gang Wan, Zhihai Yao

The spontaneous emission from a microwave-driven four-level atom embedded in an anisotropic photonic crystal is studied. Due to the modified density of state (DOS) in the anisotropic photonic band gap (PBG) and the coherent control induced by the coupling fields, spontaneous emission can be significantly enhanced when the position of the spontaneous emission peak gets close to the band gap edge. As a result of the closed-loop interaction between the fields and the atom, the spontaneous emission depends on the dynamically induced Autler–Townes splitting and its position relative to the PBG. Interesting phenomena, such as spectral-line suppression, enhancement and narrowing, and fluorescence quenching, appear in the spontaneous emission spectra, which are modulated by amplitudes and phases of the coherently driven fields and the effect of PBG. This theoretical study can provide us with more efficient methods to manipulate the atomic spontaneous emission.

Slow Light by Modified Reservoir Induced Transparency with a Non-Singular Density of Modes

周博, 杜春光, 李师群

We investigate the dispersive property of a A-type atomic system embedded in photonic band gap structures. The atomic coherence is established by the structured reservoir which consists of a double-band photonic band gap (PBG) and defect modes. With an atomic density of 7×10^15 atoms/cm^3, the group velocity of a probe laser being detuned far away from the gap is shown to be reduced to 3×10^2 m/s near the transparency window associated with the PBG edges and 6×10^3 m/s at the transparency window associated with the defect modes, without using any deriving field. The influence of the smoothness of the density of modes and the decay rate of the second ground state of atoms are analysed.

Quantum interference in a probe spectrum of an atom embedded in a photonic crystal

Dong Fang Yang, Han Zhang, Ke Zhang +1 more

Quantum interference in the probe absorption spectrum of a four-level atom embedded in a double-band photonic crystal has been investigated. The double V-type transitions from the two upper levels to the two lower levels interact with the free vacuum modes and the PBG modes synchronously. We study the additional transparency and the elimination of the probe absorption line in this paper. The new features of two transparencies resulting from the singularity of the state density of PBG modes are also predicted.

Probe absorption–dispersion spectra of a driven three-level atom in a double-band photonic crystal

Samad Roshan Entezar, H. Tajalli

The probe absorption–dispersion spectra of a driven three-level atom in a double-band photonic crystal have been investigated. We use the model which assumes the upper levels of the atomic transitions coupled via a classical driving field. One of the transitions interacts with the free vacuum modes, and the other transition couples to the modes of the modified reservoir (photonic band gap). The effect of the classical driving field on the absorption–dispersion spectra of an atom is investigated in detail. Most interestingly, it is shown that the atom becomes transparent to a probe laser field coupled to the free space transition, and slow group velocities are obtained near the transparency window.

Quntum interference of four-level atomic system embedded in photonic band gap structure

Fang Yuan-Feng, Chunguang Du, Shiqun Li +1 more

We study the steady and transient optical properties of electromagnetically induced transparency(EIT), spontaneous emission, and the photonic switching for a four-level atomic system embedded in photonic band gap(PBG) structures. The theoretical analysis shows that a special density of modes (DOM) can induce abnormal spectrum of absorption, dispersion，spontaneous emission and transient gain without inversion, and they can be controlled by an externally applied coherent light. Furthermore, we discuss the effects of the nonsingular DOM on the EIT windows and on the photon switch in detail.
