INFLUENCE OF UNEQUAL OSCILLATOR STRENGTHS ON STIMULATED RAMAN ADIABATIC PASSAGE THROUGH BRIGHT STATE

2012

In the present work an analytical and numerical analysis of the b -STIRAP process in a medium with unequal oscillator strengths is performed. It is shown that the length of population transfer can be considerably increased by an appropriate choice of the dipole transitions.

Superluminal pulse propagation in a non-linear Lambda -type atomic medium

2009

International audience; The propagation of two optical pulses in a non-linear -type atomic medium is considered. The analytical solution to the self-consistent Maxwell-Schrödinger equations in the adiabatic following condition is obtained. Superluminal effects during propagation of pulses in the medium are studied.

Stimulated Raman Adiabatic Passage via bright state in Lambda medium of unequal oscillator strengths

2012

International audience; We consider the population transfer process in a Lambda-type atomic medium of unequal oscillator strengths by stimulated Raman adiabatic passage via bright-state (b-STIRAP) taking into account propagation effects. Using both analytic and numerical methods we show that the population transfer efficiency is sensitive to the ratio q(p)/q(s) of the transition oscillator strengths. We find that the case q(p) > q(s) is more detrimental for population transfer process as compared to the case where q(p) <= q(s). For this case it is possible to increase medium dimensions while permitting efficient population transfer. A criterion determining the interaction adiabaticity in th…

Theory of the bright-state stimulated Raman adiabatic passage

2009

We describe analytically and numerically the process of population transfer by stimulated Raman adiabatic passage through a bright state when the pulses propagate in a medium. Limitations of the adiabaticity are analyzed and interpreted in terms of reshaping of the pulses. We find parameters for the pulses for which the population transfer is nearly complete over long distances.
