Transient Dynamics of Light Propagation in A-Atom EIT Medium

Abstract

We investigate the transient phenomenon or property of the propagationof an optical probe field in a medium consisting of many A-type three-level atoms coupled to this probe field and a classical driven field. We observe a hidden symmetry and obtain an exact solution for this light propagation problem by means of the spectral generating method. This solution enlightens us to propose a practical protocol implementing the quantum memory robust for quantum decoherence in a crystal. As a transient dynamic process this solution also manifests an exotic result that a wave-packet of light will split into three packets propagating at different group velocities. It is argued that super-luminal group velocity and sub-luminal group velocity can be observed simultaneously in the same system. This interesting phenomenon is expected to be demonstrated experimentally.

Transient dynamics of light propagation in EIT medium and hidden symmetry of multi-bit quantum memory

We investigate the transient phenomenon or property of the propagation of an optical probe field in a medium consisting of many $Λ$-type three-level atoms coupled to this probe field and an classical driven field. We observe a hidden symmetry and obtain an exact solution for this light propagation problem by means of the spectral generating method. This solution enlightens us to propose a practical protocol implementing the quantum memory robust for quantum decoherence in a crystal. As an transient dynamic process this solution also manifests an exotic result that a wave-packet of light will split into three packets propagating at different group velocities. It is argued that "super-luminal group velocity" and "sub-luminal group velocity" can be observed simultaneously in the same system. This interesting phenomenon is expected to be demonstrated experimentally.

Absorption-Free Sub- and Super-Luminal Light Propagation via Quantum Interference

Jianchun Wu, Zhengdong Liu, Jun Zheng

We investigate the dispersive and absorptive properties of an N-type four-level atomic system in three coherent fields, and consider the susceptibility mathematically. It is shown that the group velocity of the probe field exhibits sub- and super-luminal under some conditions, meanwhile the absorption coefficient keeps zero during the occurrence and transition process of sub- and super-luminal pulses.

Propagation of Light in an Ensemble of

Yong Li, C. P. Sun

We study the propagation of a quantum probe light in an ensemble of 3+1-level atoms when the atoms are coupled to two other classical control fields. First we calculate the dispersion properties, such as susceptibility and group velocity, of the probe light within such an atomic medium under the case of three-photon resonance via the dynamical algebra method of collective atomic excitations. Then we calculate the dispersion of the probe light not only under the case that two classical control fields have the same detunings to the relative atomic transitions but also under the case that they have the different detunings. Our results show in both cases the phenomenon of electromagnetically induced transparency can accur. Especially use the second case, we can find two transparency windows for the probe light.

Superluminal and slow light in Λ -type three-level atoms via squeezed vacuum and spontaneously generated coherence

F. Carreño, Óscar G. Calderón, M. A. Antón +1 more

We study the dispersion and absorption spectra of a weak probe in a $\ensuremath{\Lambda}$-type three-level atomic system with closely ground sublevels driven by a strong field and damped by a broadband squeezed vacuum. We analyze the interplay between the spontaneous generated coherence and the squeezed field on the susceptibility of the atomic system. We find that by varying the intensity of the squeezed field the group velocity of a weak pulse can change from subluminal to superluminal. In addition we exploit the fact that the properties of the atomic medium can be dramatically modified by controlling the relative phase between the driving field and the squeezed field, allowing us to manipulate the group velocity at which light propagates. The physical origin of this phenomenon corresponds to a transfer of the atomic coherence from electromagnetically induced transparency to electromagnetically induced absorption. Besides, this phenomenon is achieved under nearly transparency conditions and with negligible distortion of the propagation pulse.
