Abstract

A fiber-optic analogue to an externally driven three-level quantum state is demonstrated by acousto-optic coupling of the spatial modes in a few-mode fiber. Under the condition analogous to electromagnetically induced transparency, a narrow-bandwidth transmission within an absorption band for the fundamental mode is demonstrated. The presented structure is an efficient converter between the fundamental mode and the higher-order modes that cannot be easily addressed by previous techniques, therefore can play a significant role in the next-generation space-division multiplexing communications as an arbitrarily mode-selectable router.

  22. Although our scheme is closer to the ladder-type configuration considering the order of the propagation constants, we relate the current scheme to the lambda-type configuration to avoid unnecessary confusion. Whereas the dark state in a ladder-type atomic configuration is not strictly stable, our implementation does not contain decaying processes and therefore has a steady dark state leading to an efficient induced transparency.

  25. The retained maximum transmission (83%) and the voltage (9.5 Vpp) of the next minimum transmission, however, deviate from 100% and 2 × 4 Vpp, respectively. These discrepancies arise mainly from an off-resonant coupling due to non-uniformity of the fibre and also from the saturation of the acoustic transducer efficiency.

The retained maximum transmission (83%) and the voltage (9.5 Vpp) of the next minimum transmission, however, deviate from 100% and 2 × 4 Vpp, respectively. These discrepancies arise mainly from an off-resonant coupling due to non-uniformity of the fibre and also from the saturation of the acoustic transducer efficiency.

Although our scheme is closer to the ladder-type configuration considering the order of the propagation constants, we relate the current scheme to the lambda-type configuration to avoid unnecessary confusion. Whereas the dark state in a ladder-type atomic configuration is not strictly stable, our implementation does not contain decaying processes and therefore has a steady dark state leading to an efficient induced transparency.
