Abstract

Electromagnetically-controlled precision is one of novel topics in the electromagnetics. To realize the precision controlling of the electromagnetically complicated phenomenon, the systematic characteristics of medium environment needs considering. Based on the cancellation of interference caused by quantum coherence in the systematic environment of material, the electromagnetically-induced transparency (EIT) can be achieved. For this nonlinear phenomenon, due to the advancement of quantum spot and well, the controlling of the bounded sate of quantum in various dimensions of semiconductor can be operated. So the solid system presents a clear superiority of controlling EIT. High power electromagnetic field excites the dynamic characteristics in solid material, which is the result of systematic reaction between field and material. Under the excitation of electromagnetic pulse, because of quantum coherence, the dual-well semiconductor has the ability to induce the dark state of solitons. In the study of the complicated system of multiple physical fields, two aspects need investigating further. Firstly, in the induction process of electromagnetic filed and solid material, the features of high dispersion and nonlinear reaction appear increasingly. Thus, due to the environmental restriction on dispersion and nonlinear reaction, electromagnetic dissipation is a crucial point, which needs considering in the electromagnetically-controlled precision of the EIT. Secondly, compared with the formation of soliton, the coupling reaction of solitons under co-sate is much complicated. The relation among these factors is necessary to be investigated in the formulation of soliton excitation. Therefore, a dual-well semiconductor is employed as solid environment to analyze the dynamic characteristics of dark solitons in the EIT. In order to achieve the controlling of precision and regulating of the effect, the environmental features of solid materials ought to be systematically considered. Accordingly, the variational method is utilized, through which the bounded action of dissipation and nonlinear coherence is effectively studied for the dark solitons under co-sate, and under the condition of exciting dark soliton in the system of EIT. Using the density matrix and electric polarization, the spectrum of dynamic transmission deviation of EIT is calculated in the solid environment. With the assistance of relevant action principle, the bounded relation of dark solitons under co-state is practically investigated in the dissipative environment of solid system. In addition, the space-time trajectory is analyzed in the applicable region of characteristic equations of dark solution. The deduced result indicates that the systematical balance between dissipative weakening and coherent coupling supports the valuable approach to controlling the space-time evolution of dark solitons in precision. The results also show that the special effect has the potential applications in electromagnetically-controlled precision in the quantum information, ray sensor, controllable environment, etc.

Dark soliton in the system of electromagnetically induced transparency

The formation environment and the evolution of dark soliton with environment parameters are investigated by using the electromagnetically induced transparency effect produced high dispersion and nonlinearity. To improve the stability and operability, a dual-well semiconductor is used. Combining the quantum theory and the classical field theory, we derive the nonlinear Schrodinger equation to describe the formations and evolutions of wave and soliton. It is demonstrated that the dark soliton can form and propagate in the medium when the medium is anomalously dispersive and cross phase modulation is negative simultaneously, and that in the evolution of the soliton, the width, gray scale and phase are related to each other, the smaller the pulse duration, the bigger the gray scale is and the faster the growth is. In addition, the modulation instability of the nonlinear system is analyzed, and the gain spectrum of the nonlinear system is also discussed.

Controlling of dark or bright soliton type in a cascade-type electromagnetically induced transparency semiconductor quantum well by the coupling longitudinal optical phonons

Hong Tang, Denglong Wang, Weixi Zhang +2 more

In the past few years, with developing the technology of electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) and improving the semiconductor technology, it has become possible to realize the application of optical soliton to communication device. Studies show the reduction of group velocity of the optical soliton in EIT medium under weak driving condition, which possibly realizes the storing of optical pulses in information storage. More importantly, semiconductor quantum wells have the inherent advantages such as large electric dipole moments of the transitions, high nonlinear optical coefficients, small size, easily operating and integrating. So it is considered to be the most potential EIT medium to realize the application of quantum devices. The optical soliton behavior in the semiconductor quantum well is studied, which can provide a certain reference value for the practical application of information transmission and processing together quantum devices. Although there has been a series of researches on both linear and nonlinear optical properties in semiconductor quantum wells structures, few publications report the effects of the cross-coupling longitude-optical phonon (CCLOP) relaxation on its linear and nonlinear optical properties. However, to our knowledge, the electron-longitude-optical phonon scattering rate can be realized experimentally by varying the sub-picosecond range to the order of a picosecond. According to this, we in the paper study the effects of the CCLOP relaxation on its linear and nonlinear optical properties in a cascade-type three-level EIT semiconductor quantum well. According to the current experimental conditions, we first propose a cascade-type three-level EIT semiconductor quantum well model. And in this model we consider the longitudinal optical phonons coupling between the bond state and anti-bond state. Subsequently, by using the multiple-scale method, we analytically study the dynamical properties of solitons in the cascade-type three-level EIT semiconductor quantum well with the CCRLOP. It is shown that when the CCRLOP strength is smaller, there exhibits the dark soliton in the EIT semiconductor quantum well. Only if the strength of the CCRLOP is larger, will in the system there exists bright soliton. That is to say, with increasing the strength of the CCRLOP, the soliton type of the system is converted from dark to bright soliton little by little. So, the temporal soliton type can be effectively controlled by the strength of the CCRLOP. In addition, we also find that the group velocity of the soliton can also be controlled by the strength of CCRLOP and the control light. These results may provide a theoretical basis for manipulating experimentally the dynamics of soliton in semiconductor quantum wells.

Effect of inter-dot tunneling coupling on soliton dynamical behaviors in four-level triple quantum dot EIT medium

Yin Wang, Ren-Ying Wang, Qiao Chen +1 more

Soliton, which can travel over long distance without attenuation or shape change due to the balance of the interplay between dispersion (or diffraction) and nonlinearity in nonlinear medium, becomes a good information carrier in quantum information processing and transmission. Up to now, the study on the optical solitons mainly focuses on ultra-cold atomic electromagnetic induction transparency (EIT) medium. This is mainly because ultra-cold atomic system can generate strong nonlinear effect under low light excitation. However, for the practical application, it is a big challenge to control accurately the optical soliton dynamics in the atomic EIT medium due to its low temperature (which approaches to absolute zero) and rarefaction. Fortunately, with the maturity of semiconductor quantum production technology, quantum dots have extensive application prospect in quantum information processing and transmission. So, in the paper, we study the optical soliton dynamics in a four-level asymmetric array-type three-quantum-dot EIT medium. Based on the current experimental results, we first propose a four-level asymmetric array-type three-quantum-dot EIT model. Subsequently, by using amplitude variable approach combined with multi-scale method, we study analytically the propagation of a probe pulse in this system. It is shown that when one (the another) inter-dot tunneling coupling is turned on (off), only a single transparency window appears in the center range of the probe field detuning. Only if two inter-dot tunneling couplings are turned on will two transparent windows be distributed on both sides of the central region of the probe field detuning. And the width of the single transparent window or the widths of two transparent windows become wider with the strength of the inter-dot tunneling coupling increasing. For the nonlinear case, by choosing appropriate parameters in the area of the transparency window, the stable propagation of soliton can be realized. Interestingly, we find that the strength of the inter-dot tunneling coupling has an important effect on the soliton dynamic behaviors. In the case that one (the another) inter-dot tunneling coupling is turned on (off), with the increase of strength of the inter-dot tunneling coupling, the velocity of the soliton exhibits a trend of first increasing and then decreasing, and the amplitude of the soliton presents a increasing trend for ever. For the case that two inter-dot tunneling couplings are turned on, with the strength of the two inter-dot tunneling coupling increasing, the velocity of the soliton presents a decreasing trend for ever, while the amplitude of the soliton exhibits a trend of first decreasing and then increasing. Thus, the amplitude modulation effect of optical soliton can be realized in semiconductor quantum dot devices.

Multi-Soliton Propagation and Interaction in Λ-Type EIT Media: An Integrable Approach

Vaduganathan Ramesh Kumar, Prasanta Kumar Panigrahi, Boris A. Malomed

Electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) is well known as a quantum optical phenomenon that permits a normally opaque medium to become transparent due to the quantum interference between transition pathways. This work addresses multi-soliton dynamics in an EIT system modeled by the integrable Maxwell–Bloch (MB) equations for a three-level Λ-type atomic configuration. By employing a generalized gauge transformation, we systematically construct explicit N-soliton solutions from the corresponding Lax pair. Explicit forms of one-, two-, three-, and four-soliton solutions are derived and analyzed. The resulting pulse structures reveal various nonlinear phenomena, such as temporal asymmetry, energy trapping, and soliton interactions. They also highlight coherent propagation, elastic collisions, and partial storage of pulses, which have potential implications for the design of quantum memory, slow light, and photonic data transport in EIT media. In addition, the conservation of fundamental physical quantities, such as the excitation norm and Hamiltonian, is used to provide direct evidence of the integrability and stability of the constructed soliton solutions.

APPLICATION OF ELECTROMAGNETICALLY INDUCED TRANSPARENCY (EIT) IN QUANTUM COMMUNICATION: A REVIEW

Electromagnetically induced transparency is a promising approach to implement quantumcommunication in quantum system. In this study, quantum coherence and interference in theexcitation pathways of a three-level Λ atomic system leads to the formation of new states of matter(i.e. the dark state). This state decouples itself from the excitation beams leading to phenomenasuch as coherent population trapping (CPT), electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT).Taking into account quantum coherence and interference in an optically dense electromagneticallyinducedtransparent medium, we investigate the non-destructive storage and retrieval of singlephotonquantum states in the dark state of this dense ensemble of gas phase medium. The storageand retrieval process is based on the intracavity electromagnetically induced transparency by whichproperties of a cavity filled with three-level Λ-type atoms are manipulated by an external control field.We demonstrate the peculiar case for the storage and retrieval of time-entangled periodic input pulses(a soliton train) in the dark state by adiabatic photon transfer under conditions of dynamicalimpedance matching. These multiplexed photon states are expected to allow sharing quantuminformation among many users, and are currently of very high demand for applications in longdistanceand multiplexed quantum communication.
