Cavity-linewidth narrowing by means of electromagnetically induced transparency.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Cavity-linewidth narrowing in a ring cavity that is due to the high dispersion and reduced absorption produced by electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) in rubidium-atom vapor has been experimentally observed. The cavity linewidth with rubidium atoms under EIT conditions can be significantly narrowed. Cavity-linewidth narrowing was measured as a function of coupling beam power.

Effects of a highly dispersive atomic medium inside an optical ring cavity
Atomic media inside an optical cavity can significantly alter the spectral response of the cavity. Both theoretical and experimental examinations are made of the cavity transmission with a highly dispersive intracavity multilevel atomic medium. It is found, owing to the reduced absorption and steep dispersion change accompanying electromagnetically induced transparency in such a multi-level ato...
متن کاملCavity linewidth narrowing and broadening due to competing linear and nonlinear dispersions.
We experimentally demonstrate cavity linewidth control by manipulating dispersion of the intracavity medium. By making use of the dramatic change of Kerr nonlinearity near electromagnetically induced transparency resonance in a three-level atomic system, the cavity transmission linewidth can be greatly modified. As the cavity input intensity increases, the cavity linewidth changes from below to...
متن کاملIntracavity electromagnetically induced transparency.
The effect of intracavity electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) on the properties of optical resonators and active laser devices is discussed theoretically. Pronounced frequency pulling and cavity-linewidth narrowing are predicted. The EIT effect can be used to reduce classical and quantum-phase noise of the beat note of an optical oscillator substantially. Fundamental limits of this s...
متن کاملElectromagnetically induced transparency with Laguerre–Gaussian modes in ultracold rubidium
We demonstrate electromagnetically induced transparency with the control laser in a Laguerre–Gaussian mode. The transmission spectrum is studied in an ultracold gas for the D2 line in both Rb and Rb, where the decoherence due to diffusion of the atomic medium is negligible. We compare these results to a similar configuration, but with the control laser in the fundamental laser mode. We model th...
متن کاملElectromagnetically induced transparency line shapes for large probe fields and optically thick media
We calculate the line shape and linewidths for electromagnetically induced transparency EIT in optically thick, Doppler broadened media buffer gasses are also considered . In generalizing the definition of the EIT linewidth to optically thick media, we find two different linewidth definitions apply depending on whether the experiment is pulsed or continuous wave cw . Using the cw definition for...
