Optically bistable cavity driven by the output of another optically bistable cavity

Abstract

The canonical optically bistable system of two-level atoms inside a cavity can produce non-classical light.1 We investigate a more complex system formed by two of them. The output of the first cavity drives the second, but otherwise the two cavities are uncoupled.

Squeezing via optical bistability

M. D. Reid, Daniel F. Walls

The spectrum of squeezing in the output field for the optically bistable system of an atomic medium in a coherently driven cavity is analyzed. Good squeezing is attainable only in certain limits of atomic parameters and cavity detuning.

Double-cavity optical bistability and all-optical switching in four-level N-type atomic system

Yu-Yuan Chen, Yanan Li, Ren-Gang Wan

We analyze the absorptive and hybrid absorptive–dispersive double-cavity optical bistability behavior in a four-level N-type atomic system driven by two optical fields circulating inside two independently unidirectional ring cavities and a trigger field outside the cavities. In this system, the two-photon absorption and cross Kerr nonlinearity play significant roles in the formation of bistability and can be controlled efficiently due to the quantum interference effect, and then the resulting nonlinear behavior exhibits different features from the two/three-level schemes. It is shown that the threshold values and hysteresis cycle width of the bistable curve can be manipulated via the adjustment of the system parameters. Meanwhile, we also obtain double-beam optical multistability. When adding positive and negative pulses to the cavity input, all-optical steady-state switching for the two cavity outputs can be achieved simultaneously. Therefore, the proposed scheme may have potential applications in all-optical communication and computing.

Two Mode Cavity QED Beyond The Weak Field Limit

We consider multilevel atoms in a cavity supporting two orthogonally polarized modes, one driven and one undriven. For weak driving, the system has a quasi steady state, with bistability and interesting dynamics at larger drives.

Nonclassical intensity correlations in cavity QED

Joe Leach, Perry R. Rice

We consider two systems in the weak driving field limit. The first is an optical parametric oscillator, the transmitted field of which is highly bunched. We discuss a conditioned measurement of the second order intensity correlation function that yields antibunching. The second system we consider is a single two level atom inside a weakly driven cavity. Here we consider cross correlations between the transmitted and fluorescent fields. A strong asymmetry in delay time has been noted by Denisov et. al., here we find strong violations of a classical inequality for the cross correlation.
