Abstract

The influence of laser beam on the transmittance properties of anomalous dispersion photonic crystals （PCs） is investigated. Our calculations show that the pass band of anomalous dispersion PCs is tunable when altering the electron population in the atomic ground state of the anomalous dispersion material by the optical pumping method. With circularly polarized pump light, a huge Faraday rotation can be achieved under weak light intensity. Tunable pass band of anomalous dispersion PCs may lead to important technological applications in the optically controlled optical switch.

Tunable ultra-narrow band-gap of anomalous dispersion photonic crystals

Jiangtao Liu, Yun‐Song Zhou, Dongfeng Chen +1 more

We use the transfer-matrix method to research the band structures in one-dimensional photonic crystals composed of anomalous dispersion material (saturated atomic cesium vapor). Our calculations show that that type of photonic crystal possesses an ultra-narrow photonic band gap and this band gap is tunable when altering the electron population in the atomic ground state of the anomalous dispersion material by the optical pumping method.

Switching from normal to anomalous dispersion in photonic crystal with Raman gain defect

Vasily G. Arkhipkin, S. A. Myslivets

Propagation of a light through a one-dimensional photonic crystal containing a defect layer doped with a Raman gain medium is discussed. We demonstrate all-optically controlled switching from normal to anomalous dispersion in such a structure. A group delay for the transmitted probe (Raman) pulse is investigated. We show that the group velocity of a Raman pulse can be tuned from subluminal to superluminal by varying the intensity of the pump field.

Modification of the Electromagnetic Field in the Photonic Crystal Medium and New Ways of Applying the Photonic Band Gap Materials

R. Kh. Gainutdinov, Хамадеев Марат Актасович, A A Akhmadeev +1 more

Photonic crystals (PCs) are periodic systems that consist of dielectrics with different refractive indices. Photonic crystals have many potential technological applications. These applications are mainly based on the photonic bang gap effect. However the band gap is not only effect that follows from the periodic changing of the refractive index in the photonic crystal. The periodic change of the photon-matter interaction in photonic crystal medium gives rise to the fact that the mass of an electron in the photonic crystal must differ from its mass in vacuum. Anisotropy of a photonic crystal results in the dependence of the electromagnetic mass correction on the orientation of the electron momentum in a photonic crystal. This orientation dependence in turn gives rise to the significant correction to the transition frequencies in an atom placed in air voids of a photonic crystal. These corrections are shown to be comparable to the atomic optical frequencies. This effect allows one to control the structure of the atomic energy levels and hence to control resonance processes. It can serve as the basis for new line spectrum sources. The effect provides new ways of realization of quantum interference between decay channels that can be important for quantum information science.

A study of the ac Stark effect in doped photonic crystals

I. Haque, Mahi R. Singh

In this paper we present calculations of level populations and susceptibility for an ensemble of five-level atoms doped in a photonic crystal, using the master equation method. The atoms in the ensemble interact with the crystal which acts as a reservoir and are coupled with two strong pump fields and a weak probe field. It is found that, by manipulating the resonance energy associated with one of the decay channels of the atom, the system can be switched between an inverted and a non-inverted state. We have also observed the ac Stark effect in these atoms and have shown that due to the role played by the band structure of the photonic crystal, it is possible to switch between an absorption state and a non-absorption state of the atomic system. This is a very important finding as techniques of rendering material systems transparent to resonant laser radiation are very desirable in the fabrication of novel optical and photonic devices.

Laser control of the optical properties of a doped photonic crystal

A. J. GELMAN, Yevgeny V. Radeonychev

A method of dynamic control of absorption and dispersion of a two-level quantum system (atoms, ions or quantum dots) doping a photonic band gap (PBG) material via variation of the intensity and frequency of an external laser field is proposed. The frequency of an optical transition should be inside a PBG and located near or at a photonic band edge. In this case the laser field 'dresses' the quantum system (Mollow splitting) while the decay rates of the dressed states become very different due to a photonic band edge and depend on the form of spectral density of electromagnetic modes as well as intensity and frequency of the laser field. This enables us to control absorption and dispersion of a signal laser field, which is near resonant to the quantum transition of a dopant.

Theory of ultra-narrow bandwidth optical filter consisting of anomalous dispersion photonic crystal

Jiangtao Liu, Yun‐Song Zhou, Fu-He Wang +2 more

We propose a new theory of ultra-narrow bandwidth optical filter which consists of two-dimensional photonic crystal of an anomalous dispersion material. Based on our investigation of the anomalous dispersion of 6P1/2←6S1/2 tran sition of the cesium atom, we designed a photonic crystal anomalous dispersion o ptical filter (PCADOF) by use of the plane wave expansion method. The calculated result shows that the bandwidth of the filter can be less than 0.002nm.
