Orbital angular momentum induced bistability in a quantum system

Abstract

Abstract In this article, we have proposed a unique approach to adjust optical bistability (OB) and optical multistability (OM) in a ring cavity inclusive of a three-level quantum system primarily based on quantum mean-field theory. The quantum system interacts with a weak probe light, an incoherent pumping field and a robust coupling light which carries an optical vortex that is an electromagnetic light with optical angular momentum. We confirmed that the real and imaginary parts of the susceptibility of the no-vortex probe light relies on the azimuthal angle and orbital angular momentum (OAM) of the vortex light whilst the quantum interference time period will become important. Moreover, we determined that because of the OAM number of vortex light, the switching from OB to OM is feasible for extraordinary azimuthal angle. These functions of such a three-level quantum system are not stated in any comparable studies.

Transition from optical bistability to multistability in a tunneling quantum dot via structure hybrid light

Qiang Li, Zhao Yang

In this paper, we proposed a new model based on the electron tunneling effect in a four-level quantum dot molecule (QDM) for studying the optical bistability (OB) and optical multistability (OM). The QDM interacts with a probe and two coupling and Laguerre–Gaussian (LG) fields. We found that by adjusting the electron tunneling effect and the parametric controlling of LG light, the transition from OB to OM or vice versa is possible. Moreover, due to the simultaneous interaction between coupling and LG lights with the same optical transition adjusting the threshold of OB and OM by orbital angular momentum (OAM) of the LG light becomes achievable. Our results show that by adjusting the simultaneous effect of electron tunneling and OAM state of the vortex light, the favorable OB and OM patterns with adjustable intensity thresholds are achievable. Our proposed model may have potential application in quantum information science based on quantum dot (QD) devices.

The effect of vortex beam on controlling the optical bistability in graphene quantum dots

Ali Hamrah Gharamaleki, Saeideh Kevin

Abstract We theoretically investigate optical bistability (OB) and optical multistability (OM) in a three-level cascade-type graphene quantum dot system placed in a Fabry-Perot cavity. The results obtained demonstrate that the OB intensity threshold can be controlled by the intensity and detuning of the driving field. Furthermore, since the three applied fields create a closed-loop system, their relative phase is utilized to manipulate OB and OM. The applied coupling field is assumed to be a vortex beam which provides two additional parameters for controlling OB. Our findings reveal that the OB intensity threshold is sensitive to the orbital angular momentum and azimuthal phase of the coupling vortex beam.

Optical bistability and multistability via both coherent and incoherent fields in a three-level system

Haifeng Xu

Abstract We have investigated the optical bistability and multistability behaviors in a three-level V-type system via both coherent and incoherent fields inside a unidirectional ring cavity. We find that the appearance and disappearance of optical bistability (OB)/optical multistability (OM) can easily be controlled by adjusting systemic parameters. Our scheme opens up a new possibility for realizing transition from OB to OM or vice versa for potential applications in information networks and processing with increased capacity.

Orbital angular momentum-dependent transmission in a hybrid optomechanical cavity with composite vortex light

Qiang Li, Zhao Yang

Abstract The theoretical investigation into spatially coherent control over electromagnetically induced transparency is carried out within a hybrid cavity system comprising a three-level atomic configuration, a mechanical resonator, and an optical cavity. The interaction involves driving a composite vortex light (CVL) with a three-level medium. Our findings reveal that the input-output cavity field can be systematically adjusted, resulting in changes to the transmission spectrum of the weak probe light. The transmission spectrum of the output light can be spatially controlled by manipulating the orbital angular momentum of the CVL and through parametric modulation of the system. Our simulations present a flexible approach for managing light-matter interactions in a hybrid optomechanical system.

Controlling the onset of OB/OM in a semiconductor quantum well system in an inverted Y-type configuration

Ali Raheli, Hamid Reza Hamedi, Mostafa Sahrai

Abstract The problem of optical bistability (OB) and optical multistability (OM) is numerically investigated in a four-level inverted Y-type semiconductor quantum well (SQW) structure immersed in a unidirectional ring cavity. In the four-level SQW system under consideration, a closed loop configuration is coupled to the upper level through a tunable probe field. We show that the OB threshold intensity can be controlled via the intensity of coupling fields which gives rise to the absorption variation of the probe field. In addition, due to the existence of the closed-loop configuration, the OB and OM behaviors of the proposed SQW medium are dependent on the relative phase of the applied fields. It is found that the OB can be switched to OM or vice versa by properly adjusting the relative phase of the applied fields. The results may provide new possibilities in real experiments for realizing an all-optical switching or coding element in a solid-state platform.

Optical bistability and multistability via electron injection rate in an imperfect cavity

Shavan K. Askar, Abdullah Hasan Jabbar, A. S. Prakaash +7 more

Abstract In this letter, we investigate the electron injection rate-based optical bistability (OB) and optical multistability (OM) features in an imperfect cavity. Coherent optical fields interact with the open four-level quantum system that makes up the ring cavity. We have discovered that the threshold of OB and OM as well as the length of the hysteresis loop can be changed by varying the length of the quantum system, reflection and transmission coefficient of cavity mirrors. Our findings further show that the electronic exit rate from the cavity and the electron injection rates have a significant impact on the threshold of OB and OM. It is discovered that transitioning from OB to OM or vice versa is achievable by adjusting the controllable parameters. The impact of the cooperation parameter on the properties of the OB and OM is then addressed. The findings demonstrate that the OB features are simple to manipulate. Our suggested model might be used to develop an all-optical device for use in upcoming quantum information processing.
