Tunable double photonic bandgaps in a homogeneous atomic medium

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

Double photonic bandgaps (PBGs) can simultaneously appear when double dark resonances in uniform cold atoms are spatially modulated by a resonance standing-wave. Theoretical calculations show that variable and efficient coherent optical control of the PBGs can be achieved by modulating the coupling field and standing-wave. The structures of double PBGs induced by the atomic coherence effect are better than those obtained in the photonic crystal heterostructures. We anticipate that this scheme has potential applications in optical networks for dual-channel all-optical switching or a dual-frequency optical Bragg reflector.
