Three-Colour Excitation of D1 Transition in Cold Rubidium Atoms
نویسنده
چکیده
We analyse the three-colour electromagnetically induced transparency for the D1 transition in cold Rb atoms. We report an enhancement of the electromagnetically induced emission of a drive field as an exclusive enhancement of the thirdand fourth-rank components of the density matrix. Moreover, the gain experienced by the drive field is attributed to the influence of the quantum switching effect on the increased absorption of the probe field. The electromagnetically induced emission effect is employed to generate slow light Gaussian-wave trains with shape preserving. These soliton trains were not only generated in the drive channel as has been designated but also in the switch channel which reveals multiple-light storage phenomenon.

Suppression of excitation and spectral broadening induced by interactions in a cold gas of Rydberg atoms.
We report on the observation of ultralong range interactions in a gas of cold rubidium Rydberg atoms. The van der Waals interaction between a pair of Rydberg atoms separated as far as 100,000 Bohr radii features two important effects: spectral broadening of the resonance lines and suppression of excitation with increasing density. The density dependence of these effects is investigated in detai...
متن کاملLight-induced collisions of ultracold rubidium atoms
In this dissertation I present a variety of experiments on collisions between ultra-cold rubidium atoms. These collisions take place in light-force atom traps, where temperatures below 1 mK are reached. At these low temperatures weak, long-range interactions between the atoms are important, and collision times are long. Consequently, the absorption and spontaneous emission of photons plays an i...
متن کاملExcitation of Rydberg states in rubidium with near infrared diode lasers.
A system of three external cavity diode lasers is used to excite Rydberg states in rubidium. The 5S→5P→5D transitions are driven using lasers with λ = 780 and 776 nm respectively. From the 5D state, atoms fluoresce down to the 6P state. The final transition to Rydberg levels is from the 6P state with laser light near λ = 1016 nm. The nS and nD Rydberg states are accessible directly and with the...

متن کاملMulti-dark-state resonances in cold multi-Zeeman-sublevel atoms.
We present our experimental and theoretical studies of multi-dark-state resonances (MDSRs) generated in a unique cold rubidium atomic system with only one coupling laser beam. Such MDSRs are caused by different transition strengths of the strong coupling beam connecting different Zeeman sublevels. Controlling the transparency windows in such an electromagnetically induced transparency system ca...
