Quantum control of an optically dense atomic medium: Pulse shaping in a V-type three-level system

In this paper, we suggest a straight-forward technique to control the atomic population inversion in a three-level dense medium based on the pulse shaping with a phase-jump. A strong stokes field and two weak probe fields excite the atomic medium via the V-type configuration. First, we reveal that t...

Description
Summary:In this paper, we suggest a straight-forward technique to control the atomic population inversion in a three-level dense medium based on the pulse shaping with a phase-jump. A strong stokes field and two weak probe fields excite the atomic medium via the V-type configuration. First, we reveal that the atomic population inversion is accomplished under a shaped pulse. Second, we show that this is significantly improved by including a phase-jump in the pulse profile. Finally, we suggest a typical combined shape and phase in order to control the dynamics of the atomic population inversion.
