Frequency mixing using electromagnetically induced transparency in cold atoms.

چکیده
We report the first experimental demonstration of four-wave mixing using electromagnetically induced transparency in cold atoms. Backward-wave, phase-matched difference-frequency conversion is achieved at optical powers of a few nanowatts and at energies of less than a picojoule.

Increasing development of nano-technology in optics and photonics by using modern methods of light control in waveguide devices and requiring miniaturization and electromagnetic devices such as antennas, transmission and storage as well as improvement in the electromagnetic tool, have led researchers to use the phenomenon of electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) and similar phenomena i...
متن کاملElectromagnetically induced transparency in multi-level cascade scheme of cold rubidium atoms
We report an experimental investigation of electromagnetically induced transparency in a multilevel cascade system of cold atoms. The absorption spectral profiles of the probe light in the multi-level cascade system were observed in cold Rb atoms confined in a magneto-optical trap, and the dependence of the spectral profile on the intensity of the coupling laser was investigated. The experiment...
متن کاملThree-Colour Excitation of D1 Transition in Cold Rubidium Atoms
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...
متن کاملGravitational field measurement with an equilibrium ensemble of cold atoms
A new approach to the measurement of gravitational fields with an equilibrium ensemble of ultra-cold alkali atoms confined in a cell of volume V is investigated. The proposed model of the gravitational sensor is based on a variation of the density profile of the ensemble due to changing of the gravitational field. For measurement the atomic density variations of the ensemble the electromagnetic...
متن کاملElectromagnetically induced transparency: Optics in coherent media
Coherent preparation by laser light of quantum states of atoms and molecules can lead to quantum interference in the amplitudes of optical transitions. In this way the optical properties of a medium can be dramatically modified, leading to electromagnetically induced transparency and related effects, which have placed gas-phase systems at the center of recent advances in the development of medi...
