Abstract
Abstract We investigated the evolution of spectral intensity of the composite signal (Stokes ( E S ) + fluorescence (FL)) by varying time delay in different phases (tetragonal (T), hexagonal (H), (T + H) and (H + T)) of Eu 3+ :YPO 4 and Pr 3+ :YPO 4 . In a composite signal, there exists a competition between FL and E S that can be modulated through dressing effect. We observed that dressing effect has strong dependence on dipole moment, transition probability and phase symmetry of atomic like media. The dressing suppression dip in H- and T-phase YPO 4 is relatively weaker than mixed (H + T)-phase YPO, while the dressing effect is weaker in Eu 3+ :YPO 4 as compared to Pr 3+ :YPO 4 . By adjusting the time delay, FL signal can be switched from suppression dip to enhancement peak and vice versa. Further, we explored intensity-difference squeezing and intensity-noise correlation between composite signal (FL + E S ) and anti-Stokes under nonlinear phase modulated by time delay. Based on our spectral intensity results, we realized the model of dressing based switch.
