Resonance Flourescence in Atomic Coherent Systems: Spectral Features
نویسنده
چکیده
We study resonance flourescence in a four level ladder system and illustrate some novel features due to quantum interference and atomic coherence effects. We find that under three photon resonant conditions, in some region of the parameter space of the rabi frequencies Ω 1 , Ω 2 , Ω 3 , emission is dominantly by the level 4 at the line center even though there is an almost equal distribution of populations in all the levels. As one increases Ω 3 with Ω 1 andΩ 2 held fixed, the four level system 'dynamically collapses' to a two level system. The steady state populations and the the resonance flourescence from all the levels provide adequate evidence to this effect.

Demystifying EPR: A Rookie Guide to the Application of Electron Paramagnetic Resonance Spectroscopy on Biomolecules
Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) spectroscopy, also known as Electron Spin Resonance(ESR) especially among physicists, is a strong and versatile spectroscopic method forinvestigation of paramagnetic systems, i.e. systems like free radicals and most transition metalions, which have unpaired electrons. The sensitivity and selectivity of EPR are notable andintriguing as compared to other spec...
متن کاملPhase-dependent spectra in a driven two-level atom
One of the most striking features of the interaction of a monochromatically driven two-level atom interacting with a squeezed vacuum is the existence of phasedependent features in resonance fluorescence. The relative heights and widths of the spectrum triplet vary greatly with the phase of the squeezed vacuum [1,2]. In addition, some peaks may show subnatural linewidths. Although these effects ...
متن کاملInfluence of coherent Raman scattering on coherent population trapping in atomic sodium vapor
We study how coherent Stokes and anti-Stokes Raman scattering influence coherent population trapping. In an experiment using an atomic sodium vapor cell we observe induced transparency, induced absorption, and gain features, all of subnatural linewidth. The electromagnetically induced resonance is a peak or a dip depending on which side of the optical transition the fields are tuned to, and thu...
