9789814307550: Controlling Steady-State and Dynamical Properties of Atomic Optical Bistability

Synopsis

This book provides a comprehensive introduction to the theoretical and experimental studies of atomic optical bistability and multistability, and their dynamical properties in systems with two- and three-level inhomogeneously-broadened atoms inside an optical cavity. By making use of the modified linear absorption and dispersion, as well as the greatly enhanced nonlinearity in the three-level electromagnetically induced transparency system, the optical bistablity and efficient all-optical switching can be achieved at relatively low laser powers, which can be well controlled and manipulated. Until now, the rapid rate of progress in appications of multilevel systems in cross-disciplinary field has made it difficult to newcomers to the field to obtain a broad overview of this topic. This monograph will serve the purpose.

Revue de presse

"The book combines an excellent overview of the researchers on two-level optical bistability with a presentation of the more recent investigations on three level optical bistability. This book will have a beneficial impact on the future researches in this field." --Luigi Lugiato, University of Insubria, Italy
