Phase-dependent interaction in a four-level atomic configuration
نویسندگان
چکیده
We study a four-level atomic scheme interacting with four lasers in a closed-loop configuration with a L ~diamond! geometry. We investigate the influence of the laser phases on the steady state. We show that, depending on the phases and the decay characteristic, the system can exhibit a variety of behaviors, including population inversion and complete depletion of an atomic state. We explain the phenomena in terms of multiphoton interference, and compare our results with the phase-dependent phenomena in the double-L scheme. This investigation may be useful for developing nonlinear optical devices, and for the spectroscopy and laser cooling of alkali-earth atoms.

Localizing of a Four-Level Atom via Absorption Spectrum
We propose a scheme for localizing an atom in a four-level configuration inside a classical standing wave field, conditioned upon the measurement of frequency of a weak probe field. In the classical standing wave field, the interaction between the atom and the field is position dependent due to the Rabi-frequency of the driving field. Hence, as the absorption frequency of the probe field is mea...
متن کاملCoherent Control of Quantum Entropy via Quantum Interference in a Four-Level Atomic System
The time evaluation of quantum entropy in a four-level double- type atomic system is theoretically investigated. Quantum entanglement of the atom and its spontaneous emission fields is then discussed via quantum entropy. It is found that the degree of entanglement can be increased by the quantum interference induced by spontaneous emission. The phase dependence of the atom-field entanglement is...
متن کاملPhase gate with a four-level inverted-Y system
An all-optical quantum computation has been proposed but a realization of two-qubit quantum gates, which are required for universal quantum computation, is not so straightforward due to lack of significant photon-photon interaction 1 . Many proposals have come up in recent years for efficiently implementing all-optical quantum computation. The linear optics quantum computation scheme is based o...
متن کاملThe Relationship between Cation-Induced Substrate Configuration and Enzymatic Activity of Phosphatidate Phosphohydrolase from Human Liver
The mechanism by which bi-and trivalent cations affect human liver phosphatidatephosphohydrolase (PAP) activity was investigated. Bivalent cations up to 1 mM increased PAP activity whereas at higher concentrations the activity of the enzyme decreased. The stimulatory concentration for trivalent cations such as Al3+ and Cr3+, however, was much lower being 2 m M and 1 m M, respectively. All catio...
متن کاملThe interaction of lead acetate and morphine in analgesia during the formalin test in mice
In this study, the effects of lead acetate on two types of pain (nociception and inflammation) induced by formalin and its interaction with the opioid system and morphine-induced analgesia were examined. Male albino mice weighing 22-27 g were used in the experiments. Morphine was administered subcutaneously 30 minutes before formalin injection. Lead acetate was intraperitoneally administered ...
