High-efficiency two-channel magneto-optical switching and Kerr nonlinearity control using a static magnetic field in a degenerate four-level atomic medium

Hoang Minh Dong, Dinh Xuan Khoa, Le Van Doai +2 more

We study control of the Kerr nonlinearity and two-channel magneto-optical switching based on optical bistability behavior in a degenerate Y-type four-level atom system under a static magnetic field. This excitation configuration can provide two transparent spectral regions on the probe absorption profile. It can be transitioned between the transparency and absorption regimes by turning on or off the magnetic field in different frequency domains. We can effortlessly transform single- to double-transparency windows, and vice versa, by adjusting the strength/direction of the magnetic field. The investigations showed the enhancement of the Kerr nonlinearity around single/double-EIT windows, thereby creating single/two-channel optical bistability in these frequency regions. Particularly, flexible high-efficiency two-channel magneto-optical switching can be made based on optical bistability behavior with fixed cavity input at different frequency regions. Additionally, the coupling field intensity and the probe frequency detuning have also significantly influenced the absorption spectrum, Kerr nonlinearity, and optical bistability. The proposed model is a representative application for optical switching, storage, and nonlinear logic gates in optical communications.

Kerr nonlinearity and optical multi-stability in a four-level Y-type atomic system

Mostafa Sahrai, Hamid Reza Hamedi, Meisam Memarzadeh

The nonlinear response to applied fields of a four-level Y-type atomic system is investigated. The effect of laser intensity and quantum interference induced by spontaneous emission on optical bistability, optical multi-stability and Kerr nonlinearity is then discussed. It is found that the threshold of the optical bistability can substantially be reduced by the quantum interference. So, an enhanced Kerr nonlinearity with reduced absorption can be achieved.

Controlling optical properties and optical bistability via an external magnetic field in a tripod-type atomic medium

Hoang Thi Huong, Le Nguyen Mai Anh, Le Thi Hoa Lai +5 more

We investigated control of optical bistability behavior based on the probe absorption and Kerr nonlinearity properties in a tripod-type degenerate four-level atom system under an external magnetic field. This excitation configuration can provide two transparent spectral regions on the probe absorption profile. It can be transitioned between the transparency and absorption regimes by turning on or off the magnetic field in different frequency domains. We can effortlessly transform one into two transparency windows, and vice versa, by modifying the intensity of the magnetic field. The investigations showed the enhancement of the Kerr nonlinearity around one/two-EIT windows, thereby forming one/two-channel optical bistability in these frequency regions. In addition, the coupling field intensity, the probe frequency detuning, and the atomic cooperation parameter have also significantly influenced the absorption spectrum, Kerr nonlinearity, and optical bistability. The proposed model has useful applications for storage and optical switching, and nonlinear logic gates in optical communications processing.
