Abstract

We discuss the electromagnetically induced grating (EIG) and electromagnetically induced phase grating (EIPG) in a four-level quantized graphene monolayer system. By using the density matrix technique and perturbation theory, we first obtain the self-Kerr nonlinear susceptibility of the graphene system; afterwards, we study the amplitude and phase modulations of the probe light. We discovered that the EIG and EIPG can be found by controlling the elliptically polarized coupling fields that interact with the monolayer graphene system. Owing to the phase modulation of the transmitted light beam, we recognized that the probe strength can also additionally switch from zeroth-order to high-order diffraction. Moreover, we found that the diffraction performance of the grating may be adjusted through tuning the polarization of the coupling light.

Two-dimensional electromagnetically induced grating via phase regulation in a closed-loop four-level atomic system

Yaqian Li, Duo Zhang, Hongming Xia +2 more

Abstract We proposed a theoretical scheme for two-dimensional (2D) electromagnetically induced grating (EIG) in a closed-loop four-level atomic system driven by a weak probe field, a traveling-wave control field, two orthogonal standing-wave fields and a microwave field. Due to low amplitude modulation accompanied with large phase modulation, EIG can be obtained and the probe energy can be diffracted into first-order and even high-order directions with high efficiency. The results show that the diffraction pattern and efficiency of the EIG could be adjusted effectively by the probe field detuning, the coherent field intensity, the interaction length. Meanwhile, the quantum interference between the amplitude modulation and phase modulation can be manipulated by the relative phase, which can be used to regulate the diffraction pattern and efficiency of the 2D EIG. Our scheme of 2D EIG may be useful in beam splitting and all-optical switching.

Electromagnetically induced phase grating via population trapping condition in a microwave-driven four-level atomic system

Tayebeh Naseri, Rasoul Sadighi‐Bonabi

An electromagnetically induced phase grating (EIG) controlled by coherent population trapping (CPT) in a four-level Y-type atomic system is studied. The CPT condition promotes significantly the dispersion of light into the first-order diffraction in constructing a phase modulation grating by transferring energy from zero-order to first-order diffraction. The diffraction efficiency of the phase grating is enhanced by up to 30% of the total probe intensity at the first-order diffraction. The present atomic scheme takes full advantage of the microwave-driven field for generating the EIG, which induces the quantum coherence and controls linear and nonlinear behaviors of the present system. Furthermore, it is noticed that the higher-order diffraction intensities are improved via a microwave-driven field and the phase and amplitude of the microwave field can improve the efficiency of the phase grating. These novel results could find potential applications in developing new photonic devices, such as all-optical switching at low light levels.

Enhanced Kerr nonlinearity in a quantized four-level graphene nanostructure

Ghahraman Solookinejad, M. Panahi, E Ahmadi +1 more

In this paper, a new model is proposed for manipulating the Kerr nonlinearity of right-hand circular probe light in a monolayer of graphene nanostructure. By using the density matrix equations and quantum optical approach, the third-order susceptibility of probe light is explored numerically. It is realized that the enhanced Kerr nonlinearity with zero linear absorption can be provided by selecting the appropriate quantities of controllable parameters, such as Rabi frequency and elliptical parameter of elliptical polarized coupling field. Our results may be useful applications in future all-optical system devices in nanostructures.

Phase modulation of electromagnetically induced grating in a four-level system

Zhihong Xiao, Sung-Guk Shin, Kisik Kim

Electromagnetically induced phase grating (EIPG) is investigated in a microwave-coupled four-level atomic system, where the two closely spaced lower levels are driven by a microwave field. In the presence of a microwave field, the diffraction efficiency of grating is improved greatly by phase modulation. For this case, one can properly tune the interaction length of the atomic sample, modulate detuning of the microwave and the probe fields, and obtain the high diffraction efficiency of 32% approximately.

Influence of third-order susceptibility on electromagnetically induced grating in a three-level V-type atomic system

Bang Nguyen Huy, Khoa Dinh Xuan, Nga Luong Thi Yen +3 more

In addition to the suppressed absorption in the atomic resonance region, an electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) medium also possess giant nonlinear dispersion which significantly affects the optical properties of the medium. In this work, we study the influence of third-order nonlinear susceptibility on electromagnetically induced grating (EIG) in a three-level V-type atomic medium. By applying stationary perturbation theory to the density matrix equations describing the time evolution of the quantum states of the system, we have found density matrix solutions to the third-order perturbation corresponding to the third-order susceptibility, and found the transmission function for the probe light. Using the Fourier transform of the transmission function, we can obtain the intensity distribution function of the EIG diffraction spectrum as a function of laser parameters and the atomic medium. To see the influence of third-order susceptibility on EIG diffraction spectrum, we have simulated EIG spectra in two cases with and without third-order susceptibility. We found that the first-order diffraction efficiency was significantly enhanced when third-order susceptibility was introduced.

Switching from electromagnetically induced absorption grating to electromagnetically induced phase grating in a closed-loop atomic system

Azar Vafafard, Mohammad Mahmoudi

The electromagnetically induced grating is investigated in a four-level double V-type quantum system. It is shown that the electromagnetically induced transparency established by the cross-Kerr nonlinear effect can be canceled by the four-wave mixing in a closed-loop atomic system and that the diffraction of the probe beam depends on the relative phase of the applied fields and can be controlled by this parameter. We find that an additional nonlinear contribution is established in the medium response by applying a microwave field to the system and that the electromagnetically induced absorption grating turns to the electromagnetically induced phase grating. This contribution leads to 100% diffraction efficiency in the first-order direction, so we can say that the proposed grating could be considered as a special candidate for the optical networking and communication.
