We experimentally observe coherent generation of a near-infrared optical field through three-wave mixing phenomenon in an atomic energy level scheme Rb85 atoms.

Dual-cavity optoelectromechanical systems (OEMS) are those where two electromagnetic cavities connected by a common mechanical spring. These have been shown to facilitate high-fidelity quantum-state transfer from one cavity another. In this paper, we explicitly calculate the effect on fidelity of state when an additional spring is attached only cavities. Our quantitative estimates loss highlight sensitivity dual-cavity OEMS it couples modes. We show that can be used design effective switch...

A cyclic atomic level scheme interacting with an optical and a microwave field is proposed for the generation group-delay control of few-photon pulses. Our analysis exploits hybrid second order-nonlinearity under conditions electromagnetically induced transparency to generate pulse. The generated pulse can be delayed or advanced through intensity absolute phase second-order-nonlinearity. Importantly, this handle on group delay number density-independent. thus ideally suited pulses using...

When jointly measurable set fuzzy POVMs is employed first measurement every pair sequential measurements, chained do not violate classical bound imposed by matrix positivity. We identify that incompatibility measurements only necessary, but sufficient, general, for violation inequality. On other hand, there exists...
The diversity order and coding gain are crucial for the performance of a multiple antenna communication system. It is known that space-time trellis codes (STTC) can be used to achieve these objectives. In particular, we use STTCs obtain large gains.

Multi-level gaseous atomic systems showing electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) phenomenon also exhibit low light intensity nonlinear optical phenomena. This is primarily due to the supression of linear susceptibility for probe during EIT. Therefore under EIT, interactions become appreciable even at very intensities. In particular, Kerr nonlinearity in N irradiated by three fields has been both experimentally and theoretically investigated. this paper, we report an all observation...
