Interplay between electromagnetically induced transparency(EIT), absorption (EIA) and Autler-Townes (AT) splitting in N-type atomic system: An experiment and theory


الملخص بالإنكليزية

In this article we have shown that the atomic states can be engineered by tunning the coupling Rabi frequency for a system with $mathcal{N}$-type configuration. Electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT), Electromagnetically induced absorption (EIA) and Autler-Townes (AT) splitting has been observed experimentally in a four level $mathcal{N}$-type atomic vapor of $^{85}Rb$ atoms in the hyperfine levels of $D_2$ transition. It has been shown that the response of the atomic medium can be tunned from highly transparent to highly absorptive in our case. The evolution of the atomic states from the dark state |D> to the non-coupled state |NC> has been studied with the partial dressed state approach which makes the backbone of the modification of the atomic response. In addition, transient solutions in the time domain and steady state solution in the frequency domain has been studied. The population dynamics and the coherence contribution in each case has been analyzed by the time dependent solutions. The experimentally observed steady line-shape profiles has been supported by the steady state solution of optical-Bloch equations considering the Maxwell Boltzmann velocity distributions of the atoms. It has been observed that the crossover between the EIT and the AT splitting has been replaced by the interference contribution of the EIA in this $mathcal{N}$-type system.
