Magnetically induced optical transparency (MIOT) is a technique to realize the narrow transmission spectrum in a cavity quantum electric dynamics (cavity QED) system, which is demonstrated in the recent experiment of cold 88Sr atoms in an optical cavity [Phys. Rev. Lett. 118, 263601 (2017)]. In this experiment, MIOT induces a new narrow transmission window for the probe beam, which is highly immune to the fluctuation of the cavity mode frequency. The linewidth of this transmission window approaches the decay rate of the electronic 3P1 state (about 2pi*7.5kHz) and is much less than the uncertainty of the cavity mode frequency (about 2pi*150kHz). In this work, we propose an approach to further reduce the linewidth of this MIOT-induced transmission window, with the help of two Raman beams which couples the electronic 3P1 state to the3S1state, and the3S1state to the 3P0 state, respectively. With this approach, one can reduce the transmission linewidth by orders of magnitude. Moreover, the peak value of the relative transmission power or the transmission rate of the probe beam is almost unchanged by the Raman beams. Our results are helpful for the study of precision measurement and other quantum optical processes based on cavity quantum electronic dynamics (cavity-QED).

We show that an alkali atom with a tripod electronic structure can yield rich electromagnetically induced transparency phenomena even at room temperature. In particular we introduce double-double electromagnetically induced transparency wherein signal and probe fields each have two transparency windows. Their group velocities can be matched in either the first or second pair of transparency windows. Moreover signal and probe fields can each experience coherent gain in the second transparency windows. We explain using a semi-classical-dressed-picture to connect the tripod electronic structure to a double-Lambda scheme.
Vector magnetometry was studied using the electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) with linear $perp$ linear ($lin perp lin$) polarization of the probe and the pump beams in $^{87}Rb$ - $D_2$ transition. The dependence of the EIT on the direction of the quantization axis and the relative orientation of the polarization of the applied electric fields was studied experimentally. We have shown that from the relative strengths of the $sigma$ and $pi$ EIT peaks, the direction of the magnetic field can be found. Moreover from the relative separation between the $sigma$ and $pi$ EIT peaks, the strengths of the magnetic field can be calculated. We have also demonstrated that the EIT peak amplitudes show oscillatory behaviour depending upon the orientation of the laser polarization relative to the magnetic field direction. Using the positions of the maxima and minima, the direction of the magnetic field can be calculated. To understand the experimental observation, a theoretical study has been done numerically considering all the thirteen Zeeman sub-levels. Apart from the numerical model, a toy model has also been considered to obtain an analytical response of the medium considering the velocity distribution. The dependencies of the magnetic field direction and the polarization direction of the electric fields have been explicitly derived in the analytical model. Further the direction of the magnetic field is calculated using the analytical solution. This study can be helpful in order to make an EIT based atomic vector magnetometer at room temperature.
We theoretically investigate a double-{Lambda} electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) system. The property of the double-{Lambda} medium with a closed-loop configuration depends on the relative phase of the applied laser fields. This phase-dependent mechanism differentiates the double-{Lambda} medium from the conventional Kerr-based nonlinear medium, e.g., EIT-based nonlinear medium discussed by Harris and Hau [Phys. Rev. Lett. 82, 4611 (1999)], which depends only on the intensities of the applied laser fields. Steady-state analytical solutions for the phase-dependent system are obtained by solving the Maxwell-Bloch equations. In addition, we discuss efficient all-optical phase modulation and coherent light amplification based on the proposed double-{Lambda} EIT scheme.
We explore the potential of direct spectroscopy of ultra-narrow optical transitions of atoms localized in an optical cavity. In contrast to stabilization against a reference cavity, which is the approach currently used for the most highly stabilized lasers, stabilization against an atomic transition does not suffer from Brownian thermal noise. Spectroscopy of ultra-narrow optical transitions in a cavity operates in a very highly saturated regime in which non-linear effects such as bistability play an important role. From the universal behavior of the Jaynes-Cummings model with dissipation, we derive the fundamental limits for laser stabilization using direct spectroscopy of ultra-narrow atomic lines. We find that with current lattice clock experiments, laser linewidths of about 1 mHz can be achieved in principle, and the ultimate limitations of this technique are at the 1 $mu$ Hz level.
Here we present a microscopic model that describes the Electromagnetically Induced Transparency (EIT) phenomenon in the multiple scattering regime. We consider an ensembles of cold three-level atoms, in a $Lambda$ configuration, scattering a probe and a control field to the vacuum modes of the electromagnetic field. By first considering a scalar description of the scattering, we show that the light-mediated long-range interactions that emerge between the dipoles narrow the EIT transparency window for increasing densities and sample sizes. For a vectorial description, we demonstrate that near-field interacting terms can critically affect the atomic population transfer in the Stimulated Raman Adiabatic Passage (STIRAP). This result points out that standard STIRAP-based quantum memories in dense and cold atomic ensembles would not reach efficiency high enough for quantum information processing applications.
