Controllable Hartman effect by vortex beam in a one dimensional photonic crystal doped by graphene quantum dots.

The Hartman effect is studied in a one dimensional photonic crystal doped with graphene quantum dots. It is shown that the Hartman effect can be switched from negative to positive by increasing the Rabi-frequency of the controlling field and also by manipulating the relative phase of the applied fields. The effect of the vortex beam on the Hartman effect is also presented.

Polarized induced phase grating in a quantized four-level graphene monolayer system.

We discuss the electromagnetically induced grating (EIG) and electromagnetically induced phase grating (EIPG) in a four-level quantized graphene monolayer system. By using the density matrix technique and perturbation theory, we first obtain the self-Kerr nonlinear susceptibility of the graphene system; afterwards, we study the amplitude and phase modulations of the probe light. We discovered that the EIG and EIPG can be found by controlling the elliptically polarized coupling fields that interact with the monolayer graphene system.

Controllable atom-photon entanglement via quantum interference near plasmonic nanostructure.

A five-level atomic system is proposed in vicinity of a two-dimensional (2D) plasmonic nanostructure with application in atom-photon entanglement. The behavior of the atom-photon entanglement is discussed with and without a control laser field. The amount of atom-photon entanglement is controlled by the quantum interference created by the plasmonic nanostructure.

Azimuthal modulation of electromagnetically induced grating using structured light.

We propose a theoretical scheme for creating a two-dimensional Electromagnetically Induced Grating in a three-level [Formula: see text]-type atomic system interacting with a weak probe field and two simultaneous position-dependent coupling fields-a two dimensional standing wave and an optical vortex beam. Upon derivation of the Maxwell wave equation, describing the dynamic response of the probe light in the atomic medium, we perform numerical calculations of the amplitude, phase modulations and Fraunhofer diffraction pattern of the probe field under different system parameters. We show that due to the azimuthal modulation of the Laguerre-Gaussian field, a two-dimensional asymmetric grating is observed, giving an increase of the zeroth and high orders of diffraction, thus transferring the probe energy to the high orders of direction.

Optically induced diffraction gratings based on periodic modulation of linear and nonlinear effects for atom-light coupling quantum systems near plasmonic nanostructures.

We investigate the quantum linear and nonlinear effects in a novel five-level quantum system placed near a plasmonic nanostructure. Such a quantum scheme contains a double-V-type subsystem interacting with a weak probe field. The double-V-subsystem is then coupled to an excited state by a strong coupling field, which can be a position-dependent standing-wave field.

Strongly confined atomic localization by Rydberg coherent population trapping.

We investigate the possibility to attain strongly confined atomic localization using interacting Rydberg atoms in a coherent population trapping ladder configuration, where a standing-wave is used as a coupling field in the second leg of the ladder. Depending on the degree of compensation for the Rydberg level energy shift induced by the van der Waals interaction, by the coupling field detuning, we distinguish between two antiblockade regimes, i.e.

Tunneling induced two-dimensional phase grating in a quantum well nanostructure via third and fifth orders of susceptibility.

We study the nonlinear optical properties in an asymmetric double AlGaAs/GaAs quantum well nanostructure by using an external control field and resonant tunneling effects. It is found that the resonant tunneling can modulate the third-order and fifth-order of susceptibilities via detuning frequency of coupling light. In presence of the resonant tunneling and when the coupling light is in resonance with the corresponding transition, the real parts of third-order and fifth-order susceptibilities are enhanced which are accompanied by nonlinear absorption.

Enhancement of Goos-Hänchen shift due to a Rydberg state.

This paper hints at the Goos-Hänchen shift properties of a cavity containing an ensemble of atoms using a four-level atomic system involving a Rydberg state. By means of the stationary phase theory and density matrix formalism in quantum optics, we study theoretically the Goos-Hänchen shifts in both reflected and transmitted light beams. It is realized that as a result of the interaction between Rydberg and excited states in such a four-level atom-light coupling scheme the maximum positive and negative Goos-Hänchen shifts can be obtained in reflected and transmitted light beams owning to the effect of the Rydberg electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) or Rydberg electromagnetically induced absorption.

Goos-Hänchen shifts due to spin-orbit coupling in the carbon nanotube quantum dot nanostructures.

The properties of Goos-Hänchen (GH) shifts for transmitted and reflected light pulses in a cavity with an intracavity medium consist of carbon nanotube quantum dot nanostructures, which have been discussed theoretically by using the stationary phase theory. Our findings show that due to the presence of spin-orbit coupling, the maximum negative and positive shifts can be realized by modifying the absorption and dispersion properties of the intracavity medium. Moreover, the effect of the transverse magnetic field has been also considered as a new parameter for controlling the GH shifts in reflected and transmitted light beams.

Phase control of light transmission and reflection based biexciton coherence in a defect dielectric medium.

Phase control of two weak probe lights' transmission and reflection based biexciton coherence in a defect dielectric medium doped by four-level GaAs/AlGaAs multiple quantum wells with 15 periods of 17.5 nm GaAs wells and 15 nm AlGaAs barriers is theoretically investigated. The biexciton coherence in this scheme is set up by two continuous wave control fields that couple to a resonance of biexcitons.
