Good Agreement

The influence of Doppler broadening on a four-level N-type atomic system has been investigated in the presence of spontaneous generating coherence. The atomic system interacting with three electromagnetic fields and includes the nonradiative decay, the effect of co- and counter-propagation of the fields is considered. The probe susceptibility behaviors can be modified by Doppler broadening via nonperturbative treatments of the density matrix elements solution in the absence and presence of the spontaneous generating coherence. Some interesting features are enhanced for the spectral behaviors and controllability of electromagnetically induced transparency, which were found to be in good agreement to some experimental results without including Zeeman sublevels to the system.

Induced Transparency

Since a two-level resonant atomic system can be simulated by a simple circuit, three- and four-level electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) that occur due to light-atom interaction can find its classical counterpart in circuit analog. As the optical response of an EIT atomic medium (including atomic vapors and semiconductor-quantum-dot dielectrics) can be controlled via tunable quantum interference induced by applied external control fields, in the scheme of circuit analog, such a controllable manipulation is achieved via capacitor coupling, where two loops are coupled by a capacitor that can represent the applied control fields in atomic EIT. Both numerical simulation and experimental demonstration of three- and four-level EIT were performed based on such a scenario of circuit analog. The classical “coherence” relevant to quantum interference among transitions pathways driven by both probe and control fields in EIT atomic systems has been manifested in the present circuit analog of EIT.

Photon Resonance

Multi-level gaseous atomic systems showing electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) phenomenon also exhibit low light intensity nonlinear optical phenomena. This is primarily due to the supression of linear susceptibility for the probe light during EIT. Therefore under EIT, nonlinear interactions become appreciable even at very low light intensities. In particular, Kerr nonlinearity in N systems irradiated by three fields has been both experimentally and theoretically investigated. In this paper, we report an all optical observation of an absorptive three-photon resonance feature, of subnatural width, in a N level scheme of gaseous rubidium, at room temperature, in a novel geometry of three independent beams. The non-Doppler free configuration of the beam in which the absorption is seen is the first such feature reported in a beam that is not directly taking part in the transparency effect. We have demonstrated the velocity selective nature of this absorption and studied the contrast dependence on detuning from the fourth level. Density matrix calculations have been carried out for this geometry, the results of which are in qualitative agreement with the experiment.

Splitting Effect

We experimentally report that electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) in the nonlinear propagation of probe beam, four-wave mixing (FWM) images and in a cascade three-level atomic systems. It is shown that by changing the frequency between pumping fields or dressing fields, respectively, the properties of the measured signals including the intensity and spatial images are affected greatly, including the electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT), Aulter-Townes splitting. By changing the laser frequency we can control the four wave signal, Moreover, the AT splitting effect due to spontaneous emission was also observed under EIT conditions..
