Electromagnetically-Induced Phase Grating

Abstract

Exploiting the giant Kerr nonlinearity associated with electromagnetically induced transparency, an atomic phase grating created with arbitrarily weak fields is proposed. Almost 30% of a probe beam can be diffracted into the first diffraction order.

Electromagnetically induced phase grating

Luı́s E. E. de Araujo

I propose an electromagnetically induced phase grating based on the giant Kerr nonlinearity of an atomic medium under electromagnetically induced transparency. The atomic phase grating behaves similarly to an ideal sinusoidal phase grating, and it is capable of producing a pi phase excursion across a weak probe beam along with high transmissivity. The grating is created with arbitrarily weak fields, and diffraction efficiencies as high as 30% are predicted.

Electromagnetically-induced phase grating: A coupled-wave theory analysis

Silvânia A. Carvalho, Luı́s E. E. de Araujo

We use a coupled-wave theory analysis to describe an atomic phase grating based on the giant Kerr nonlinearity of an atomic medium under electromagnetically induced transparency. An analytical expression is found for the diffraction efficiency of the grating. Efficiencies greater than 70% are predicted for incidence at the Bragg angle.

Electromagnetically Induced Grating based on the Kerr Nonlinearity

BA Nu

We proposed a scheme for realizing electromagnetically induced grating via the giant Kerr nonlinearity in a coherently driven four-level system with spontaneously generated coherence. In the presence of spontaneously generated coherence,Kerr nonlinearity could be enhanced with vanishing linear absorption. Thus,with a standingwave coupling field,one could achieve a pure absorption grating,which led the probe field to gather the zero-order direction when the detuning of the coupling field was on resonance. Moreover,we could obtain a pure phase grating,which diffracted a weak probe light into the first-order direction and the second-order direction when the detuning of the coupling field was off resonance.

Electromagnetically induced blazed grating at low light levels

Silvânia A. Carvalho, Luı́s E. E. de Araujo

We propose a scheme for inducing a blazed transmission grating in a four-level, $N$-type atomic medium under electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT). The blazed grating relies on the giant Kerr nonlinearity that the atomic medium exhibits under EIT. The grating is created using an intensity mask in one of the driving optical fields and only weak fields with intensities below saturation level are involved. Diffraction efficiencies of a resonant probe beam close to $100%$ are predicted.
