Abstract

We propose a scheme that provides controllable large delays for broadband optical pulses based on steep dispersion of coherently driven medium in which the narrow EIT band is overcame by using spatial and temporal processing.

Optically controlled delays for broadband pulses

Qingqing Sun, Yuri V. Rostovtsev, Jonathan P. Dowling +2 more

We propose a scheme that provides large controllable delays for broadband optical pulses. The system is based on the steep dispersion of a coherently driven medium, in which the narrow electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) band is overcome by using spatial and temporal processing.

Coherent Storage and Retrieval of Broadband Optical Pulses

Elizabeth Groves, Joseph H. Eberly

We conduct a theoretical investigation of broadband optical pulse control in coherent three-level media. We produce an exact soliton solution, probe its utility with numerical solutions and generate animations to highlight interesting features.

Effect of atomic coherence on temporal cloaking in atomic vapors

R. B. Li, L. Deng, E. W. Hagley +3 more

We discuss a different scheme to achieve temporal cloaking in warm atomic vapors. Instead of creating a temporal-spatial window in a patched broadband short optical pulse using static differential dispersion of an optical fiber, we create a temporal-spatial window by directly controlling the propagation velocities of a pair of correlated narrow-band long optical pulses. This method eliminates the phase noise introduced by the broadband short-pulse swapping technique. When the event medium has a fast relaxation rate this leads to a temporal-cloaking scheme similar to that reported in fibers. When the event-medium relaxation cannot be neglected, we discuss a matched-mode scheme that can eliminate the phase change caused by the event field. The advantages of the dynamically and actively controlled atomic system over previously reported work are discussed.

Tunable Subluminal Propagation of Narrow-band X-Ray Pulses

Kilian P. Heeg, Johann Haber, Daniel Schumacher +9 more

Group velocity control is demonstrated for x-ray photons of 14.4 keV energy via a direct measurement of the temporal delay imposed on spectrally narrow x-ray pulses. Subluminal light propagation is achieved by inducing a steep positive linear dispersion in the optical response of 57Fe Mössbauer nuclei embedded in a thin film planar x-ray cavity. The direct detection of the temporal pulse delay is enabled by generating frequency-tunable spectrally narrow x-ray pulses from broadband pulsed synchrotron radiation. Our theoretical model is in good agreement with the experimental data.

All optically controlled steering of light

Qingqing Sun, Yuri V. Rostovtsev, Muhammad Suhail Zubairy

We propose a scheme that provides all optically controlled steering of light beam. The system is based on steep dispersion of coherently driven medium. Using eikonal equation, we study the steering angle, the spread of optical beam, and the limits set by residual absorption of medium under conditions of electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT). Implementation of another scheme for ultra-short pulses is also discussed.
