Transparency Effects Due To Single-photon Transport In Waveguide QED

Abstract

We analyze single-photon transport through a one-dimensional (1D) waveguide strongly coupled to a periodic array of two-level atoms. We demonstrate the possibility of achieving transparency without applying any coupling field.

Single-photon coherent transparency in a coupled atoms-waveguide system

Wei‐Bin Yan, Heng Fan

We investigate the single-photon propagation in the one-dimensional waveguide coupled to $N$ two-level atoms. For a waveguide coupled to $N$ distant atoms, the transparency can be induced by coherent interaction at resonance for an $even$ $number$ of $N$, while for an $odd$ $number$ of $N$, the photon can be fully reflected. We then can switch the photon transport by controlling the atomic number. For a waveguide coupled to a small atomic ensemble of $N$ atoms in the same position, the transparency disappears, and the photonic transport property displays a jump behavior near the resonance point.

Photonic transport in disordered multiqubit non-chiral waveguide QED

Single-photon Transport in a Waveguide-cavity-emitter System

Xue-jian Sun, WenXiao Liu, Hao Chen +3 more

Abstract We investigate the single-photon transport properties in a hybrid waveguide quantum electrodynamics system, in which a one-dimensional waveguide is simultaneously coupled to a cavity and a driven Λ-type three-level atom. The cavity and the atom are also coupled to each other. We show that when the waveguide is coupled to the cavity and the atom at the same point, double electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) can be observed from the system. The physical mechanism of the double EIT effect has been given by setting up the eigenstate structure for the whole system. When the waveguide is coupled to the cavity and the atom at different points, we demonstrate that the single-photon transmission spectra can be effectively controlled by adjusting the relative separation between the cavity and the atom. Moreover, this non-zero relative separation can lead to the occurrence of the controllable nonreciprocal scattering effect. These results have potential applications in realization of photonic coherent control.

Single-photon transport in an array of quantum emitters with long-range interactions

Yu Jiang

We investigate photon transport in a waveguide coupled to two-level quantum emitters with long-range interactions. We derive an exact solution for transmission and reflection amplitudes in the framwork of real-space Hamiltonian. Our explicit formula allows for a complete description of photon transport in the presence of N quantum emitters with arbitrary non-local interactions. We apply this approach to single-photon transport in an one-dimensional waveguide coupled to two atoms with dipole-dipole interaction (DDI). Our numerical results confirm the Fano spectrum line shapes as a result of strong DDI, and demonstrate how the split of perfect reflection spectrum and the resonance transmission can be achieved by tuning the photon-atom and the atom-atom interactions.

Dynamical theory of single-photon transport in a one-dimensional waveguide coupled to identical and nonidentical emitters

Zeyang Liao, Hyunchul Nha, Muhammad Suhail Zubairy

We develop a general dynamical theory for studying a single-photon transport in a one-dimensional (1D) waveguide coupled to multiple emitters which can be either identical or nonidentical. In this theory, both the effects of the waveguide and non-waveguide vacuum modes are included. This theory enables us to investigate the propagation of an emitter excitation or an arbitrary single-photon pulse along an array of emitters coupled to a 1D waveguide. The dipole-dipole interaction induced by the non-waveguide modes, which is usually neglected in the literature, can significantly modify the dynamics of the emitter system as well as the characteristics of the output field if the emitter separation is much smaller than the resonance wavelength. Nonidentical emitters can also strongly couple to each other if their energy difference is less than or of the order of the dipole-dipole energy shift. Interestingly, if their energy difference is close but nonzero, a very narrow transparency window around the resonance frequency can appear which does not occur for identical emitters. This phenomenon may find important applications in quantum waveguide devices such as optical switches and ultranarrow single-photon frequency comb generator.

Single-photon transport properties in a waveguide–cavity system

Xiaofei Zang, Chun Jiang

We study single-photon transmission spectra in a waveguide coupled to two cavities embedded with one(two) two-level atom(atoms). When only the left cavity contains a two-level atom, single-photon transmission spectra can be modulated by changing the distance between the two cavities. Phase separation-induced transparency is acquired in such a system when each cavity contains a two-level atom. The influence of the dissipation of cavities and atoms on single-photon transport properties is also analysed. In addition, the experimental design of such an optical system is discussed.
