Controllable optical mirror of cesium atoms with four-wave mixing

doi:10.1088/1674-1056/23/9/093204

Abstract The controllable optical mirror is experimentally accomplished in a Λ-type three-level atomic system coupled with standing wave. It is shown that the reflection of probe light results from electromagnetically-induced-transparency-based four-wave mixing, therefore the reflection efficiency is highly dependent on the angle for phase matching condition between the probe and coupling fields. The measured reflection spectra show good agreement with dispersion compensation theory.

Keywords: optical mirror four-wave mixing phase mismatching anomalous dispersion
