The Ground State Decoherence Effect on an Amplification of a Phase Sensitive Δ System

Abstract

The atomic decoherence effect (DE) on electromagnetically induced transparency(EIT) is studied in the phase-sensitive ∆ system. The DE forces the susceptibility of the medium into negative or positive depending upon the resultant phase and the microwave field strength. In general, the phase-sensitive amplification (PSA) on the probe resonance laser field is induced by the microwave field. The DE plays a major role in tuning the PSA in such a medium. Moreover, we show that the control of the ground state decoherence in a phase-sensitive ∆ system leads to the gain in the output of the probe field. The DE is of great interest in the field of quantum information science, and quantum optics.

Phase Controlled Electromagnetically Induced Transparency in a Closed Cyclic Lambda Atomic System

Monika Thakran, Yashika Aneja, Satya Kesh Dubey

In this work, Electromagnetically Induced Transparency (EIT) has been studied in a microwave driven closed cyclic Lambda atomic system. It is observed that in the absence of microwave field a normal transparency window is obtained, but when a microwave field is also applied between hyperfine levels along with the optical fields an amplification and attenuation in EIT signal is observed depending upon the relative phase between fields driving the atomic system. In fact, a new probe field is generated by microwave and coupling field which interfere constructively or destructively with incident probe field leading to either amplification, attenuation or asymmetricity in probe transmission signal. Also, dependency of phase sensitive amplification on ground state decoherence is also studied. This novel, controllable and amplified EIT signal can be potentially used for the transfer of coherent microwave analog or digital message signal over larger distance using optical fibers where amplification is preliminary requirement.

Effects of temperature and ground-state coherence decay on enhancement and amplification in a Δ atomic system

Manukumara Manjappa, U. Satya Sainadh, Asha Karigowda +2 more

We study phase-sensitive amplification of electromagnetically induced transparency in a warm $^{85}\mathrm{Rb}$ vapor wherein a microwave driving field couples the two lower-energy states of a $\ensuremath{\Lambda}$ energy-level system thereby transforming into a $\ensuremath{\Delta}$ system. Our theoretical description includes effects of ground-state coherence decay and temperature effects. In particular, we demonstrate that driving-field-enhanced electromagnetically induced transparency is robust against significant loss of coherence between ground states. We also show that for specific field intensities, a threshold rate of ground-state coherence decay exists at every temperature. This threshold separates the probe-transmittance behavior into two regimes: probe amplification vs probe attenuation. Thus, electromagnetically induced transparency plus amplification is possible at any temperature in a $\ensuremath{\Delta}$ system.

Anomalous to normal dispersion nonlinear optical dephasing switch in electromagnetically induced transparency using a Kerr effect

Ayyappan J, T. Beena

Abstract The atomic decoherence effect (DE) on a Kerr nonlinear (KNL) electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT)is studied in a Δ system. The DE between the ground state hyperfine levels is caused by the dephasing rate γ d which dramatically modifies the medium response. It controls the normal dispersive region which shows steep positive slopes for linear response at the line center while the nonlinear response experiences steep negative slopes for low γ d . The microwave field strength and γ d modify the nonlinear response from the anomalous dispersion to normal dispersion. The calculations show that room-temperature atoms are used to quantify the quantum interference (QI) on linear and nonlinear absorption with γ d . The EIT spectrum explores the understanding of the subluminal and superluminal wave propagation of probe signal and this study opens a new pathway for the understanding of the QI devices and their nonlinearities based on EIT.

Microwave controlled ground state coherence in an atom-based optical amplifier

K. V. Adwaith, K. N. Pradosh, J. K. Saaswath +2 more

We experimentally investigate and theoretically analyze the effect of microwave controlled atomic ground state coherence on the phase-dependent amplification (PDA) of an optical probe field. We use three hyperfine levels in room temperature 85Rb atoms, which are cyclically connected by two optical and one microwave electromagnetic field. We show that a simultaneous fulfilment of a two-photon resonance condition that creates ground state coherence and a three-photon resonance condition leads to a significantly higher amplification of 7.5 dB of the optical probe field with a visibility of 98.8 %. By selectively breaking the ground state coherence using microwaves, we show that the amplification reduces with a bandwidth of 5 MHz. Nevertheless, the system shows non-zero PDA for large two-photon detunings of 15 MHz with high visibility of 66.8 %. This novel, controllable hybrid-PDA can be potentially used to trade-off amplification for bandwidth during the transmission of phase coherent classical and quantum information.
