Abstract

The Hartman effect is studied in a one dimensional photonic crystal doped with graphene quantum dots. It is shown that the Hartman effect can be switched from negative to positive by increasing the Rabi-frequency of the controlling field and also by manipulating the relative phase of the applied fields. The effect of the vortex beam on the Hartman effect is also presented. We show that the orbital angular momentum (OAM) and the azimuthal phase of the vortex beam do not affect the probe filed transmission while they change the Hartman effect from positive to negative.

Hartman effect in a doped one-dimensional photonic crystal at normal and oblique incidences

The Hartman effect in a one-dimensional photonic crystal containing a defect layer doped by three-level ladder-type atoms is theoretically investigated for normal and oblique incidences. The influence of the relative phase of applied fields and the intensity of the coupling field on the Hartman effect is then discussed. We find that the Hartman effect can be switched from positive to negative (or vice versa) by adjusting the relative phase of applied fields and the intensity of the coupling field and by choosing the proper incident angle.

Phase time delay and Hartman effect in a one-dimensional photonic crystal with four-level atomic defect layer

The Hartman effect is revisited using a Gaussian beam incident on a one-dimensional photonic crystal (1DPC) having a defect layer doped with four-level atoms. It is considered that each atom of the defect layer interacts with three driving fields, whereas a Gaussian beam of width w is used as a probe light to study Hartman effect. The atom–field interaction inside the defect layer exhibits electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT). The 1DPC acts as positive index material (PIM) and negative index material (NIM) corresponding to the normal and anomalous dispersion of the defect layer, respectively, via control of the phase associated with the driving fields and probe detuning. The positive and negative Hartman effects are noticed for PIM and NIM, respectively, via control of the relative phase corresponding to the driving fields and probe detuning. The advantage of using four-level EIT system is that a much smaller absorption of the transmitted beam occurs as compared to three-level EIT system corresponding to the anomalous dispersion, leading to negative Hartman effect.

The effect of vortex beam on controlling the optical bistability in graphene quantum dots

Ali Hamrah Gharamaleki, Saeideh Kevin

Abstract We theoretically investigate optical bistability (OB) and optical multistability (OM) in a three-level cascade-type graphene quantum dot system placed in a Fabry-Perot cavity. The results obtained demonstrate that the OB intensity threshold can be controlled by the intensity and detuning of the driving field. Furthermore, since the three applied fields create a closed-loop system, their relative phase is utilized to manipulate OB and OM. The applied coupling field is assumed to be a vortex beam which provides two additional parameters for controlling OB. Our findings reveal that the OB intensity threshold is sensitive to the orbital angular momentum and azimuthal phase of the coupling vortex beam.

Coherent Control of the Hartman Effect through a Photonic Crystal with Four-Level Defect Layer*

Abstract In this paper, we examine the transmission of a probe field through a one dimensional photonic crystal (1DPC) when the sixth layer of the crystal is doped with four level atoms. We analyze effects of the external driving field on the passage of weak probe field across the photonic crystal. It is found that for the phase time delay of the probe photons, intensity of the driving field switches the Hartman effect from sub to superluminal character. It is interesting to note that in our model, the superluminal transmission of the probe pulse is accompanied by a negligibly small absorption of the incident beam. It ensures that the probe field does not attenuate while passing through the photonic crystal. A similar switching of the Hartman effect may be obtained by adjusting detuning of the probe field related to the excited states of the four-level doping atoms .

All-optical switch based on doped graphene quantum dots in a defect layer of a one-dimensional photonic crystal

Mostafa Sahrai, Majid Abbasabadi

We discuss the light pulse propagation in a one-dimensional photonic crystal doped by graphene quantum dots in a defect layer. The graphene quantum dots behave as a three-level quantum system and are driven by three coherent laser fields. It is shown that the group velocity of the transmitted and reflected pulses can be switched from subluminal to superluminal light propagation by adjusting the relative phase of the applied fields. Furthermore, it is found that by proper choice of the phase difference between applied fields, the weak probe field amplification is achieved through a one-dimensional photonic crystal. In this way, the result is simultaneous subluminal transmission and reflection.

Phase time delay caused by quantum effects in nearby plasmonic nanostructures of a one-dimensional photonic crystal

Abstract A one-dimensional photonic crystal (1DPC) incorporated with a defect layer containing a four-level double V-type quantum system adjacent to a plasmonic nanostructure is employed to investigate the Hartman effect. The study involves the interaction of two orthogonal circularly polarized laser beams with the defect layer, possessing identical frequencies but vary in phase and electric field amplitude. The defect layer exhibits quantum system adjacent to plasmonic nanostructure and field interaction phenomena like optical transparency, nonzero dispersion with zero absorption, gain without inversion, and others related effects. By manipulating the phase of the driving fields and probe detuning, the 1DPC can function as either a positive index material (PIM) or a negative index material (NIM), correlating to the normal and anomalous dispersion of the defect layer, respectively. The positive and negative Hartman effects for PIM and NIM, respectively, can be observed by adjusting the relative phase with respect to the driving fields. Our suggested approach might be used in optical memory, all-optical switching, all-optical routing, and interferometry.
