Abstract

We present a first-principles model for a non-volatile atomic memory based on recoil-induced resonances (RIR) and directly compare it to experimental data obtaining a good agreement on all phases of the experiment.

Atomic memory on the external degrees of freedom of an ensemble of two-level atoms

J. C. C. Capella, Álvaro Mitchell Galvão de Melo, Jesus P. Lopez +2 more

A theoretical and experimental analysis is developed for an atomic memory based on recoil-induced resonance. Control of such memories on external degrees of freedom is crucial to explore higher order nonlinearities for storage of information.

Comparison of recoil-induced resonances and the collective atomic recoil laser

P. R. Berman

The theories of recoil-induced resonances (RIR) [J. Guo, P. R. Berman, B. Dubetsky, and G. Grynberg, Phys. Rev. A 46, 1426 (1992)] and the collective atomic recoil laser (CARL) [R. Bonifacio and L. De Salvo, Nucl. Instrum. Methods Phys. Res. A 341, 360 (1994)] are compared. Both theories can be used to derive expressions for the gain experienced by a probe field interacting with an ensemble of two-level atoms that are simultaneously driven by a pump field. It is shown that the underlying formalisms of the RIR and CARL are equivalent. Differences between the RIR and CARL arise because the theories are typically applied for different ranges of the parameters appearing in the theory. The RIR limit is one in which the time derivative of the probe field amplitude, ${\mathrm{dE}}_{2}/dt,$ depends locally on ${E}_{2}(t)$ and the gain depends linearly on the atomic density, while the CARL limit is one in which ${\mathrm{dE}}_{2}/dt={\ensuremath{\int}}_{0}^{t}{f(t,t}^{\ensuremath{'}}{)E}_{2}{(t}^{\ensuremath{'}}{)dt}^{\ensuremath{'}},$ where f is a kernel, and the gain has a nonlinear dependence on the atomic density. Validity conditions for the RIR or CARL limits are established in terms of the various parameters characterizing the atom-field interaction. The probe gain for a probe-pump detuning equal to zero is analyzed in some detail, in order to understand how gain arises in a system which, at first glance, appears to have a symmetry that would preclude the possibility for gain. Moreover, it is shown that these calculations, carried out in perturbation theory, have a range of applicability beyond the recoil problem. Experimental possibilities for observing CARL are discussed.

Forward four-wave mixing via recoil-induced resonances in cold cesium atoms

Álvaro Mitchell Galvão de Melo

Recoil-induced resonances (RIR) can be detected in experiments involving light-atom interaction where atomic external degrees of freedom play an important role. In pump-probe experiments the recoil of atoms due to absorption and emission of radiation is responsible for the amplification and attenuation of the probe beam under certain circumstances, resulting in a disperse and narrow (of the order of 10 kHz) feature in the spectrum of the probe beam. Backward four-wave mixing (BFWM) signals, via recoil-induced resonances, using cold atoms as nonlinear medium were also extensively studied during the past years. In this work it will be presented a systematic study of forward four-wave mixing (FFWM) via RIR. It will be also presented a simple theoretical model that allowed us to predict the lineshapes of the observed signals and to better understand the phenomenon studied. The model is also compared with results that are already known in order to verify its validity and predict the possibility of measure the velocity distribution of the atomic cloud in a future experiment.

Nonlinear spectroscopy of cold atoms in diffuse laser light

Wenzhuo Zhang, Hua-Dong Cheng, Ling Xiao +2 more

The nonlinear spectroscopy of cold atoms in the diffuse laser cooling system is studied in this paper. We present the theoretical models of the recoil-induced resonances (RIR) and the electromagnetically-induced absorption (EIA) of cold atoms in diffuse laser light, and show their signals in an experiment of cooling (87)Rb atomic vapor in an integrating sphere. The theoretical results are in good agreement with the experimental ones when the light intensity distribution in the integrating sphere is considered. The differences between nonlinear spectra of cold atoms in the diffuse laser light and in the optical molasses are also discussed.
