An efficient all-optical switch using a lambda atom in a cavity QED system
نویسندگان
چکیده
We propose an all-optical switch constructed from a two-mode optical resonator containing a strongly coupled, three-state system. The coupling allows a weak laser drive to incoherently control the transmission of a much stronger signal laser into (and through) the resonator. We demonstrate that in this simple setup the presence of a control drive with 1/10 the power of the signal drive can induce near complete reflection of the signal, while its absence allows for near complete transmission. The switch can also be operated as a set-reset relay with two control inputs that efficiently drive the switch into either the reflecting or the transmitting state.

We propose a novel two state and all-optical controllable switch using DIT, Kerr effect and interaction between quantum dots (QD) and quantum electrodynamics cavity (CQED). The two state and all-optical controllable switch is coupled to photonic waveguide from a rapid nonlinear environment (photonic crystal) and CQED. We consider the nano-crystal are doped to crystal photonic cavity as a 4-leve...
متن کاملSingle-photon all-optical switching using waveguide-cavity QED
This manuscript demonstrates switching of a single signal photon by a single gating photon of a different frequency, via a cross-phase modulation. This effect is mediated by materials exhibiting electromagnetically-induced transparency (EIT), which are embedded in photonic crystals (PhC’s). An analytical model based on waveguide-cavity QED is constructed for our system, which consists of a PhC ...

In the present paper, resonant frequencies and modes of a three-atom photonic molecule and a photonic crystal placed within a cavity are numerically calculated. First, governing formulation in transverse electric field mode (TE) is obtained using Maxwell equations. Then, an algorithm based on a finite difference scheme and matrix algebra is presented. The algorithm is then implemented in a comp...
متن کاملRaman Transitions in Cavity QED
In order to study quantum effects such as state superposition and entanglement, one would like to construct simple systems for which the damping rates are slow relative to the rate of coherent evolution. One such system is strong-coupling cavity quantum electrodynamics (QED), in which a single atom is coupled to a single mode of a high finesse optical cavity. In recent years, optical trapping t...
