Abstract

We investigate the four-wave mixing (FWM) phenomenon in a three-level bichromatic electromagnetically induced transparency system. Theoretical results predict that the FWM will exhibit a multipeak structure under bichromatic coupling fields. The stronger the coupling fields are, the more FWM the peaks should exhibit. Results of an experiment carried out with cold {sup 87}Rb atoms in a magneto-optical trap agree with the theoretical prediction.

Bichromatic electromagnetically induced transparency in cold rubidium atoms

Journal Article Wang, J; Jiang, K; Zhan, M; ... - Physical Review. A

In a three-level atomic system coupled by two equal-amplitude laser fields with a frequency separation 2{delta}, a weak probe field exhibits a multiple-peaked absorption spectrum with a constant peak separation {delta}. The corresponding probe dispersion exhibits steep normal dispersion near the minimum absorption between the multiple absorption peaks, which leads to simultaneous slow group velocities for probe photons at multiple frequencies separated by {delta}. We report an experimental study in such a bichromatically coupled three-level {lambda} system in cold {sup 87}Rb atoms. The multiple-peaked probe absorption spectra under various experimental conditions have been observed and compared with the theoretical calculations.

Light storage in an optically thick atomic ensemble under conditions of electromagnetically induced transparency and four-wave mixing

Journal Article Phillips, Nathaniel; Novikova, Irina; Gorshkov, Alexey - Physical Review. A

We study the modification of a traditional electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) stored-light technique that includes both EIT and four-wave mixing (FWM) in an ensemble of hot Rb atoms. The standard treatment of light storage involves the coherent and reversible mapping of one photonic mode onto a collective spin coherence. It has been shown that unwanted, competing processes such as four-wave mixing are enhanced by EIT and can significantly modify the signal optical pulse propagation. We present theoretical and experimental evidence to indicate that, while a Stokes field is indeed detected upon retrieval of the signal field, any information originally encodedmore »« less

Electromagnetically induced transparency in cold rubidium atoms

Journal Article Yan, Min; Rickey, Edward; Zhu, Yifu - Journal of the Optical Society of America B

We report experimental studies of electromagnetically induced transparency in {Lambda}-type and ladder-type atomic systems realized in {sup 87}Rb atoms cooled and confined in a magneto-optical trap. Complete transparency is observed in the {Lambda}-type system with a moderate coupling field. Comparison between the two systems reveals that at the line center of a weak probe transition, destructive interference occurs for the {Lambda}-type system, whereas constructive interference occurs for the ladder-type system. We discuss conditions of complete transparency in the {Lambda}-type system that contains hyperfine magnetic sublevels. Our experimental measurements for the two systems agree with theoretical calculations based on simple three-levelmore »« less

Enhanced cross-Kerr nonlinearity via electromagnetically induced transparency in a four-level tripod atomic system

Journal Article Xudong, Yang; Shujing, Li; Chunhong, Zhang; ... - Journal of the Optical Society of America. Part B, Optical Physics

We investigate, both theoretically and experimentally, the cross-Kerr nonlinearity generated in a four-level tripod system in the {sup 87}Rb D1 line. The system exhibits simultaneous electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) windows for two weak (probe and trigger) fields and the enhanced cross-Kerr nonlinearity by EIT. The cross-Kerr nonlinear phase shifts for probe (trigger) field are measured at several different intensities of trigger (probe) field. The results show that large cross-phase modulation (XPM) coefficients can be achieved at low light intensities.

Highly selective four-wave mixing of low-intensity radiation in a degenerate two-level atomic system

Journal Article Akulshin, A; Barreiro, S; Lezama, A - Quantum Electronics (Woodbury, N.Y.)

Quasi-degenerate four-wave mixing (FWM) of low-intensity radiation (with an intensity less than 1 mW cm{sup -2}) was observed for the 5S{sub 1/2}(F=2)-5P{sub 3/2} (F'=3) transition in an optically transparent {sup 87}Rb vapour under conditions of electromagnetically induced absorption. The efficiency of frequency conversion was no less than 1% with respect to the intensity of pump waves. Nonlinear FWM is highly selective relative to the frequency detuning of pump waves (the FWM full width at half maximum was less than 50 kHz). (letters to the editor)
