Sommario/riassunto |
|
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.

Sommario/riassunto |
|
Should funding of political campaigns be regulated or just go to the highest bidder or those who can raise the largest amount of funds on the internet or from private sources? This work examines these issues. |
