Gain without inversion in a V-type system with low coherence decay rate for the upper levels

Abstract

Inversionless gain is observed in a V-type inhomogeneously broadened system without introducing any incoherent pumping and only by changing the collisional dephasing decay rate. In this system sub-Doppler linewidth is achieved with off-resonance pump detuning.

Role of incoherent pumping scheme on gain without population inversion in four-level systems

Bibhas Kumar Dutta, P.K. Mahapatra

We have studied gain without population inversion in two similar four-level systems by employing semiclassical density-matrix formalism. If the incoherent pumping process is not taken into account, both systems can be visualized as an ideal V-type system. Along with the application of strong pump and weak probe fields, an incoherent pump field is added to each of the systems in a different configuration. It has been shown that the different mechanisms of application of an incoherent pump to the system can appreciably change the population difference between the energy levels of the strongly driven transition and results in the evolution of inversionless gain either at the line center or at the sidebands on probe detuning. The effect of inhomogeneous broadening on the probe gain has also been studied.

Analysis of sub-Doppler linewidths in inversionless amplification

Gautam Vemuri, G. S. Agarwal, D. N. Rao

In a recent experiment Zhu and Lin [Phys. Rev. A 53, 1767 (1996)] reported gain linewidths, in a coherently pumped atomic system, which were much less than the Doppler width. We show that this observation is easily explained in terms of our work [Phys. Rev. A 53, 2842 (1996)], which is generalized to correspond to the experimental situation by inclusion of incoherent pumping, and pump and probe laser linewidths. \textcopyright{}1996 The American Physical Society.

Effect of Doppler broadening on gain in an open V-type inversionless lasing system

Xijun Fan, Hui Xu, Shufen Tian +1 more

Our study shows that for the copropagating probing and driving fields, the gain without inversion doesn't monotonously decrease or increase with the increasement of Doppler width. When the driving field is resonant, at a suitable Doppler width, we can get a maximum value of the gain without inversion, which is much larger than that obtained when Doppler broadening is absent.

A study of inversionless gain in mismatched, Doppler-broadened systems

J. R. Boon, E. Zekon, David McGloin +1 more

Summary form only given. We present the results of a comparative study of a matched and a mismatched system, in which all parameters are made equal except the transition wavelengths. Density matrix analysis demonstrated that the gain produced for a given incoherent pumping rate is spread out in frequency for the widely split mismatched system, and that while the peak gain is less, the total net gain is in fact greater than that predicted.

Lasing without inversion and origin of gain in a Λ system

Deng-Yu Zhang

A three-level Λ-type atomic system is pumped by an incoherent radiation field. The system lases without population inversion in the steady state. We analyze the inversionless gain and origin of the gain.

Inhomogeneous broadening-dependent spectral features in a four-level atomic system

W. H. Burkett, Yongqing Li, Min Xiao

New spectral features in an inhomogeneously broadened N-type four-level atomic system are analyzed and discussed. The atomic-level scheme uses an incoherent pumping rate in place of the incoherent recycling pump. We show that the gain profile includes an extra dip that appears only in the Doppler-broadened case. The dependence of this feature on various parameters, as well as consequences for the dispersion, are explored theoretically. For certain combinations of temperature and incoherent pump rate, this gain is shown to be independent of temperature fluctuations.
