Influence of coherent Raman scattering on coherent population trapping in atomic sodium vapor
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 thus whether coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering or coherent Stokes Raman scattering is the dominant process.

Effect of atomic diffusion on the Raman-Ramsey CPT resonances
We experimentally investigated the characteristics of two-photon transmission resonances in Rb vapor cells with different amount of buffer gas under the conditions of steady-state coherent population trapping (CPT) and pulsed Raman-Ramsey (RR-) CPT interrogation scheme. We particularly focused on the influence of the Rb atoms diffusing in and out of the laser beam. We showed that this effect mo...

This paper presents a new approach to coherent population trapping in a A-type three level atomic configuration. This approach, which is based on scattering theory, applies when one of the two driving laser fields is much weaker than the other one. We show that the scattering amplitude of the weak field is the sum of 2 resonant amplitudes. The positions and the widths of these resonances are id...
متن کاملNondegenerate four-wave mixing in a double-Lambda system under the influence of coherent population trapping.
Nondegenerate four-wave mixing (NDFWM) in a double-L system of Rb atomic vapor was achieved for collinear pump fields. By comparison of different pump-probe configurations, direct experimental evidence of influence of coherent population trapping on the output power of the NDFWM signal was established. A maximal efficiency for generating the NDFWM signal exists for a moderate pump power in this...

During the past two decades, there have been tremendous developments in near-field imaging and local probing techniques. Examples are the Scanning Tunneling Microscope (STM), Atomic Force Microscope (AFM), Near-field Scanning Optical Microscope (NSOM), Photon Scanning Tunneling Microscope (PSTM), and Scanning Thermal Microscope (SThM).Results showed that the average reflectance for a dopant con...
