Quantum Theory of Self-Induced Transparency
نویسنده
چکیده
It is known that classical electromagnetic radiation at a frequency in resonance with energy splittings of atoms in a dielectric medium can be described using the classical sineGordon theory. In this paper we quantize the electromagnetic field and compute some quantum effects by using known results from the sine-Gordon quantum field theory. In particular, we compute the intensity of spontaneously emitted radition using the thermodynamic Bethe ansatz with boundary interactions.

Controlling of Absorption and Dispersion Spectrum via Electromagnetically Induced Transparency
In this paper we examine the absorption and dispersion properties of a weak probe field via Electromagnetically Induced Transparency (EIT) in a four-level system. It is shown that under certain condition, using this model, the absorption cancellation is appeared and the medium becomes transparent to the weak probe field. It will be shown that the controlling of absorption and dispersion spectru...
متن کاملQuantum squeezing and correlation of self-induced transparency solitons
A general quantum theory of self-induced transparency SIT solitons is developed with nonlinear quantum effects of atoms taken into account. The quantization starts from the coarse-grain-averaged light-atom interaction Hamiltonian by which the quantum effects of ensemble atoms are modeled. The calculation of quantum properties is performed by the backpropagation method, which takes into account ...
متن کاملSelf-induced transparency modelocking of quantum cascade lasers.
The possibility of using the self-induced transparency effect to passively modelock lasers has been discussed since the late 1960s, but has never been observed. It is proposed that quantum cascade lasers are the ideal tool to create this modelocking, due to their rapid recovery times and relatively long coherence times and because it is possible to interleave gain and absorbing layers. Converse...
متن کاملQuantum Theory of Optical Solitons
A quantum theory of optical solitons is developed. Two kinds of optical soliton phenomena are studied : solitons in optical fibers and self-induced transparency (SIT) solitons. Quantum effects of optical soliton propagation are investigated. Among various quantum effects examined, two of them are of particular interest : the position spreading effect and the squeezing effect. The former places ...
متن کاملSelf-induced acoustic transparency in semiconductor quantum films.
We develop a quantum theory of the nonlinear interaction between intense surface acoustic waves and electrons in a quantum well in the regime of moving quantum wires and dots. In the quantum nonlinear regime, the sound attenuation exhibits quantum oscillations and dramatically decreases with increasing quantization. In the case of dynamically created electron dots formed by two acoustic waves, ...
