Double-Cascade Continuous-Wave Four-Wave Mixing Scheme in a Coherent Cold Atomic Medium

Jiahua Li, Ai-Xi Chen, Zhiming Zhan +1 more

We demonstrate the efficient generation of coherent light in a four-level double-cascade atomic medium by continuous-wave low-intensity laser radiation. We derive the corresponding explicit analytical expressions for the generated four-wave mixing (FWM) field. Dependencies of the intensity of the generate FWM field on the propagation distance, on the input-wave intensity, and on the photon detuning are investigated. To conclude, we also give a brief discussion on the experimental realization of the proposed scheme.

Resonantly enhanced continuous-wave four-wave mixing with spontaneously generated coherence in a five-state cold atomic medium

Jiahua Li, Luo Jin-Ming, Wen‐Xing Yang +1 more

Using Schrodinger–Maxwell formalism, we propose and analyse a continuous-wave four-wave mixing (FWM) scheme for the generation of coherent light in a five-state double-Λ atomic system with or without spontaneously generated coherence (SGC) based on electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT). We derive the corresponding explicit analytical expressions for the generated FWM field under the steady-state condition. The influence of hyperfine sublevel and SGC effect on the amplitude of the generated FWM field is predicted in detail via the derived analytical expressions. We also give a brief discussion on the experimental realization of the proposed scheme.

Reversible optical nonreciprocity and its scaling optimization in cold atoms via coherently induced four-wave mixing

Tian-Yun Chen, Jin‐Hui Wu

We present a further investigation on the optical nonreciprocity based on four-wave mixing (FWM) by leveraging coherently driven cold atoms, as a beneficial supplement to the usual cavity-waveguide solution in virtue of the on-demand tunability and broadband advantage. We consider two parameter regimes unexplored yet, where the probe and coupling fields are set with vanishing or large detunings while the dressing field is kept on resonance. Numerical results reveal that the forward (backward) probe exhibits a high transmittance (is strongly absorbed) in the resonant regime, but may be largely converted into an FWM field (propagate almost freely) in the far-detuned regime. The optimization of such a reversible unidirectional transmission featured by large isolation ratios and low insertion losses can be attained only when the coupling and dressing fields fulfill different scaling relations in amplitude, which has been well explained via analytical results. It is also viable to achieve reversible unidirectional transmission for a probe field of fixed large detunings by simply tuning the coupling field in a wide spectral range. Our findings provide additional insights into the FWM-based optical nonreciprocity and may enable more powerful unidirectional devices in quantum networks.
