“…The probe and coupling beams have both the same circular polarization, which yields to complete EIT, since all Zeeman substates of the excited states are coupled to the metastable state [45,46]. In addition, both lasers are phase-locked together via standard phase-locking techniques [47] in order to fully exploit the coherence of the EIT process.…”

We experimentally study the photonic properties of a cold-atom sample trapped in a onedimensional optical lattice under the conditions of electromagnetically induced transparency. We show that such a medium has two photonic band gaps. One of them is in the transparency window and gives rise to a Bragg mirror, which is spectrally very narrow and dynamically tunable. We discuss the advantages and the limitations of this system. As an illustration of a possible application we demonstrate a two-port all-optical switch.

Abstract:In the initial part of the paper, the principles of the electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) in basic three-level schemes are sketched, and some applications of this phenomenon are described. Next a presentation follows of a five-level EIT model of Bloch equations, which was developed to reconstruct multipeak cascade-EIT spectra registered in a sample of cold 85 Rb atoms in MOT. The respective experiment is also described. The achieved good agreement between theory and performed experiment is documented and discussed.

“…CPT and EIT have also been demonstrated in Rubidium with extensions to different multilevel configurations, for instance, in a 3-level Λ-type and ladder-type atomic systems in 87 Rb atoms cooled and confined in a magnetooptical trap [27], in a three-level V-type system in a D 2 transition of 87 Rb [28], in a 4-level inverted-Y atomic system [29], and in a 4-level tripod atomic system in the 87 Rb D 1 line [30].…”

Control of rubidium low-lying Rydberg states with trichromatic femtosecond π pulses for ultrafast quantum information processing

We propose an ultrafast femtosecond time scale trichromatic π-pulse illumination scheme for coherent excitation and manipulation of low-lying Rydberg states in rubidium. Selective population of nP 3/2 levels with principal quantum numbers n 12 using 75 fs laser pulses is achieved. The density-matrix equations of a four-level ladder system beyond the rotating-wave approximation have to be solved to clarify the balance between the principal quantum numbers, the duration of the laser pulses and the associated ac-Stark effects for the fastest optimal excitation. The mechanism is robust for femtosecond control using different level configurations for applications in ultrafast quantum information processing and spectroscopy.
