Abstract

The dispersive-absorptive optical properties of a weak probe field are investigated based on quantum coherence and interference in a Landau-quantized graphene structure. It is found that an enhanced refractive index with vanishing absorption can be obtained in this structure through proper adjusting the controlling parameters of the system. The switching between superluminal and subluminal light propagation is also discussed. Our scheme can be employed in real experiments to develop new types of nanoelectronic devices for realizing all-optical switching process and can have practical application in dispersion compensation and solid-state quantum communication.

Polarized control of probe absorption in a single-layer graphene nanostructure system

Abstract In this paper, we investigated the behaviors of the absorptive-dispersive properties of weak probe light based on quantum coherence and interference in a Landau-quantized graphene nanostructure driven by coherent pumping fields. The linear dynamical properties of the grapheme are discussed with reference to the density matrix method and the perturbation theory. It is found that under certain conditions and by an appropriate selection of the parameters of the medium, the absorption, dispersion and group index of the weak probe light can be controlled. Moreover, the superluminal light propagation in the system is accompanied by amplification to make sure that the probe field is amplified as it passes through the system via adjusting the corresponding controllable parameters such as the intensity, the detuning and the relative phase of the applied fields. Moreover, it is observed that the probe amplification can be obtained in the presence or absence of population inversion by properly choosing the system’s parameters. We hope that these results may have useful application in future quantum communicational systems and networks.

Phase controllable terahertz switch in a Landau-quantized graphene nanostructure

Jalil Shiri, Abdollah Malakzadeh

Abstract The optical properties of a weak probe light by applying coupling fields in Landau-quantized graphene nanostructure is investigated. In this structure the electromagnetic field of terahertz-infrared radiations interfere with the electromagnetic field of the short-wavelength probe field and this effect changes the absorption and dispersion characteristics of the probe field. The linear dynamical properties of the graphene by means of perturbation theory and density matrix method are discussed. We show that the group velocity of a light pulse can be switched from superluminal to subluminal or vice versa by controlling the coupling field’s intensities and relative phase of the applied fields. Therefore, this model can be used as an all-optical switch which is suitable for next generation of future all optical quantum communicational system and networks.

Absorption-free superluminal light propagation in a Landau-quantized graphene

Seyedeh Hamideh Kazemi, Mohammad Ali Maleki, Mohammad Mahmoudi

In recent years, control of group velocity of light has attracted enormous interest. One of the main challenges is to realize an absorption-free fast or slow light propagation. Here, we study dispersion and absorption properties of a weak probe field in a Landau-quantized graphene and report a gain-assisted superluminal light propagation. Moreover, an attempt is made to develop an analytical expression and necessary parameters for switching the group velocity of the probe field from subluminal to superluminal. It’s worth mentioning that large dephasing rate in graphene offers feasibility of superluminal propagation of ultrashort light pulses. Additionally, dynamical behavior of dispersion and absorption of a weak probe field in a closed-type graphene system is investigated, and it is found that the absorption and dispersion can be dramatically affected by both the relative phase of applied fields and the Rabi frequencies in such a way that a large transient gain can be achieved and a transient absorption can be completely eliminated.

The optical properties of a weak probe field in a graphene ensemble under Raman excitation

Ali Raheli, Hamid Reza Hamedi, Mostafa Sahrai

Abstract We investigate the coherent manipulation of certain optical properties in graphene under Raman excitation by using a density-matrix approach. It is shown that the absorption and dispersion, the group velocity, and the transmission coefficient of the probe field can be efficiently controlled through proper adjustment of the intensity and frequency detuning of the control field. In addition, the optical bistability (OB) behavior is explored for the proposed system. It is found that the bistable threshold intensity and related hysteresis loop of OB can be controlled by the parameters of the system. The results obtained may be used in real experiments for the development of new types of nanoelectronic devices used for the realization of all-optical switching processes.

Controllable optical bistability and multistability in a graphene structure under external magnetic field

Ali Raheli, Hamid Reza Hamedi, Mostafa Sahrai

Abstract We investigate the behavior of optical bistability (OB) and optical multistability (OM) based on quantum coherence in a Landau-quantized graphene structure. Such a tunable four-level system is driven coherently by two coherent fields and an incoherent pumping field inside the unidirectional ring cavity. The influence of system parameters on the threshold of the onset of OB and OM is studied. It is found that one can efficiently control the OB/OM threshold intensity and the hysteresis loop by using the system parameters. The results obtained may be used in real experiments for the development of new types of nanoelectronic devices for realizing an all-optical switching process.
