Following are EIT-related papers listed in several categories.

(A) Linear and Nonlinear Optical Properties of EIT Media:

Linear absorption and dispersion, as well as Kerr nonlinearity, of three-level atomic systems can be significantly modified due to light-induced atomic coherence. We have shown that one can effectively control the linear absorption and dispersion, and enhance Kerr nonlinearity in various three-level atomic systems in vapor cell via two-photon Doppler-free configurations. By placing such EIT atoms inside an optical ring cavity, the cavity transmission spectra can be greatly modified, either narrowed or broadened, depending on the total dispersion of the intracavity EIT medium. Such EIT atomic systems can be used as ideal optical media with many unique linear and nonlinear optical properties.

(B) Enhanced FWM and SWM Processes with Atomic Coherence (EIT):

Typically higher-order nonlinear optical processes are much weaker than the lower-order ones (by several orders of magnitude), so when lower-order nonlinear optical processes exist, one normally can ignore the higher-order processes. However, we have shown that by manipulating the atomic coherence between different atomic energy levels with additional laser light beams, high-order nonlinear indices (such as Chi_(5)) can be greatly enhanced, and even be made to be in the same order as the lower-order nonlinear optical processes (related to Chi_(3)). We have demonstrated co-existing and intermixing of four-wave mixing and six-wave mixing processes in the same multi-level atomic system, and observed interference between these different order nonlinear optical processes. Different systems and configurations for such enhanced higher-order nonlinear optical processes were studied, which can have applications in all-optical communications and quantum information processing.

(C) Optical Bistability and Multistability in Three-level Atomic Systems—Steady States and Dynamics:

When a nonlinear optical medium is placed inside an optical cavity, interesting steady-state behaviors, such as optical bistability and multi-stability, can be observed, i.e. more than one cavity output states can exist for a given cavity input intensity. With three-level EIT atoms as an intracavity medium, we can better manipulate the linear and nonlinear optical properties of the intracavity medium, and therefore better control the steady-state behaviors of this composite atom-cavity system. We have shown interesting bsitable and multistable hysterasis curves with controllable shape and rotating direction, which are quite different from the normal optical bistability in two-level atomic systems. Some of the observed phenomena (such as multi-stability and backward hysterasis loops) are still not well explained with simple theoretical calculations.
Many interesting dynamic behaviors, such as dynamic instability, dynamic hysterasis, from period-doubling to chaos, and stochastic resonance, have been experimentally observed in such double-well system. Other interesting effects including noise-induced transition, tunneling, and quantum statistical properties of the system are currently underway.
Due to the use of atomic vapor cell instead of cold atoms and atomic beam via the two-photon Doppler-free configurations (which we have proposed and demonstrated in three-level lambda- and ladder-type atomic systems, PRA 51, 576 (2005); PRA 51, R2703 (1995)) in our experimental setup, the experimental system is much simpler and easy to operate, and can achieve much higher atomic density, which is essential in observing some of the reported effects.

(D) Controlled All-Optical Switching with Enhanced Nonlinearity in EIT Media:

With controllable linear and nonlinear optical properties of the EIT media, we have designed and demonstrated several schemes of achieving all-optical switching with EIT atoms in and out of optical cavity. Such all-optical switching schemes can be used for all-optical communications and quantum information processing.

(E) EIT-Related Effects with Multi-Zeeman Sub-Levels or Hyperfine Energy Levels:

Although three-level or four-level atomic systems have been used as models to study atomic coherence and related effects, the real atoms have many complications including multi-Zeeman sub-levels for each energy level considered for the three- or four-level systems. To understand the effects of the multi-Zeeman sub-levels, we have studied how these Zeeman sub-levels affect the ground-state populations and atomic coherence between different energy levels. We also designed and implemented schemes(in collaboration with Prof. H. Wang’s group at Shanxi University, China) to achieve real four-level atomic systems by selecting appropriate polarizations of various laser beams. We even made use of the multi-Zeeman sub-levels to achieve optically induced and controlled polarization rotation in the atomic systems.
