Influence of spontaneously generated coherence on absorption, dispersion, and group index in a five-level cascade atomic system

Le Nguyen Mai Anh, Nguyen Huy Bang, Nguyen Van Phu +4 more

Abstract By solving the density matrix equations in the steady state, we have derived analytical expressions for the absorption, dispersion, and group index of a five-level cascade-type atomic system as functions of laser intensity and frequency, spontaneously generated coherence (SGC), and relative phase of applied fields. The influences of SGC and relative phase on absorption, dispersion, and group index of this system under electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) are studied. It is shown that the three EIT windows of system become deeper and narrower as the strength of SGC increases. These lead to an increase in the slope and the amplitude of the dispersion curves at three EIT windows. As a result, the amplitude of the group index at these three EIT windows also becomes larger when the strength of SGC increases. In particular, the group index can easily be switched between negative and positive values i.e., the light propagation can easily be converted between superluminal to subluminal modes by adjusting the strength of SGC, relative phase or the coupling laser intensity.

Control of Group Velocity via Spontaneous Generated Coherence and Kerr Nonlinearity

Hazrat Ali, Iftikhar Ahmad, Ziauddin Ziauddin

A four-level N-type atomic medium is considered to study the effect of spontaneous generated coherence (SGC) and Kerr nonlinearity on light pulse propagation. A light pulse is propagating inside the medium where each atom follows four-level N-type atom-field configuration of rubidium ( 85 Rb) atom. The atom-field interaction leads to electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) process. The atom-field interaction is accompanied by normal dispersion and in the presence of SGC and Kerr nonlinearity the dispersion property of the proposed atomic medium is modified, which leads to enhancement of positive group index of the medium. The enhancement of positive group index then leads to slow group velocity inside the medium. A more slow group velocity is also investigated by incorporated the collective effect of SGC and Kerr nonlinearity. The control of group velocity inside a four-level N-type atomic medium via collective effect of SGC and Kerr nonlinearity is the major part of this work.

Effects of Spontaneously Generated Coherence on Absorption in Probe Laser in Four-level Y-type Atomic System

Ketao Liu

This paper investigates the effects of spontaneously generated coherence(SGC) on the probe absorption in the Y-type four-level atomic system driven by three fields.It finds that the probe absorption at the resonance center shows the different phenomena with the SGC effects.When SGC produces the destructive interference on the probe absorption,the absorption at the resonance center is reduced with the SGC enhancement and the gain appears there.When SGC produces the constructive interference on the probe absorption,the absorption at the resonance center is enhanced with the SGC enhancement.That is electromagnetically induced absorption(being abbreviated EIA);the intensity of double electromagnetically induced transparency(being abbreviated EIT);at both sides of the resonance is increased,and the windows get wider.At the same time,the linewidth of the absorption at the resonance center becomes narrow and the transparent windows at both sides of the resonance get wider when the spontaneous decay rate of energy levels |3〉→|2〉 and 4〉→|2〉 is decreased at the ratio of the spontaneous decay rate of energy levels |3〉→|2〉 and |4〉→|2〉 being constant.
