Spectral narrowing via quantum coherence
(American Physical Society, 2006)
We have studied the transmission through an optically thick Rb-87 vapor that is illuminated by monochromatic and noise-broadened laser fields in Lambda configuration. The spectral width of the beat signal between the two ...
Quenching of spontaneous emission through interference of incoherent pump processes
(American Physical Society, 2003)
We investigate the steady-state spontaneous emission of a V-type three-level atom, with the coherence between the two upper levels modified and controlled via incoherent pumping to a fourth auxiliary level. The external ...
Measurement of ground-state decoherence via interruption of coherent population trapping
(American Physical Society, 2007)
We examine the role of ground-state coherence on the fluorescence from the excited state in a three-level Lambda system under continuous-wave excitation. When resonantly pumped, the fluorescence is strongly affected by any ...
Electromagnetically induced transparency in rubidium vapor prepared by a comb of short optical pulses
(American Physical Society, 2005)
It was shown by Kocharovskaya and Khanin [Sov. Phys. JETP 63, 945 (1986)] that a comb of optical pulses can induce a ground-state atomic coherence and change the optical response of an atomic medium. In our experiment, we ...
Three-terminal semiconductor laser for wave mixing
(American Physical Society, 2002)
We suggest and analyze the concept of a semiconductor laser device that incorporates two basic ideas: (i) dual-wavelength generation of two optical fields on the interband transitions with independent control of each field ...
Enhancement of magneto-optic effects via large atomic coherence in optically dense media RID B-9041-2008
(American Physical Society, 2000)
We utilize the generation of large atomic coherence in optically dense media to enhance the resonant nonlinear magneto-optic effect by several orders of magnitude, thereby eliminating power broadening and improving the ...
Correlation of photon pairs from the double Raman amplifier: Generalized analytical quantum Langevin theory
(American Physical Society, 2007)
We present a largely analytical theory for two-photon correlations G((2)) between Stokes (s) and anti-Stokes (a) photon pairs from an extended medium (amplifier) composed of double-Lambda atoms in counterpropagating geometry. ...
Improving engine efficiency by extracting laser energy from hot exhaust gas RID A-1272-2007
(American Physical Society, 2003)
We show that it is possible to improve the efficiency of a classical Otto-cycle heat engine by adding a high-Q microwave cavity and a laser system that can extract coherent laser energy from thermally excited "exhaust" ...
Cavity-QED-based quantum phase gate
(American Physical Society, 2003)
We describe a quantum phase gate in which the two qubits are represented by the photons in the two modes of the cavity field. The gate is implemented by passing a three-level atom in a cascade configuration through the ...
Quantum disentanglement eraser: A cavity QED implementation
(American Physical Society, 2004)
A possible experimental scheme of the Garisto-Hardy disentanglement eraser based on a cavity QED system is presented. This scheme can be used for a delayed choice quantum eraser. It also allows us to acquire single-qubit ...
