Abstract

We recently discovered an error in the numerical evaluation of Eq. ( 6) relating the local field to the applied field and the susceptibility in the program we used to calculate our results.The figures in the original paper are therefore

Piezophotonic Switching Due to Local Field Effects in a Coherently Prepared Medium of Three-Level Atoms

Aaron S. Manka, Jonathan P. Dowling, Charles M. Bowden +1 more

We study the effect of near dipole-dipole interactions on the electric susceptibility of a coherently prepared three-level $\ensuremath{\Lambda}$ system. We discuss the influence of atomic nonlinearities on the recently predicted enhancement of the absorptionless index of refraction and inversionless gain due to local field effects [J.P. Dowling and C.M. Bowden, Phys. Rev. Lett. 70 1421 1993] and predict a density dependent, or piezophotonic, switching between absorption and amplification.

Optimal control of piezophotonic and magnetophotonic switching in a dense medium of three-level atoms

We apply optimal control techniques to maximize the absorptionless index of refraction, the density-dependent piezophotonic switching between absorption and amplification, and the ground-state energy-level-spacing-dependent magnetophotonic switching of susceptibility in a dense medium of coherently prepared three-level systems.
