A Novel Proposal for Ultra-High Resolution and Compact Optical Displacement Sensor Based on Electromagnetically Induced Transparency in Ring Resonator

Abstract

Abstract-In this paper a novel method for ultra-high-resolution, compact and tunable optical displacement sensor using ring resonator and electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) is proposed. The introduced technique uses ring resonator as an interesting element including high quality factor. We show that the proposed sensor can easily detect well below nanometer ranges. It is shown that the proposed idea of using EIT the resolution of the sensor is so high for displacement below mm range and for ranges larger than mm the sensitivity of the proposed sensor in both EIT and traditional cases is same approximately. Also, the proposed sensor is optically tunable. So, depends on required resolution optical control field can be used to tune the sensitivity of the proposed device.

Electromagnetically induced transparency-based gas detector design using Michelson interferometer

“…ω cb , ω ab , and ω ac are the corresponding frequencies of the transitions between the levels in the presented model. Based on the time development equation of the density matrix [19] with differential motion equations and assuming appropriate boundary conditions, the below matrix equation with the following matrices can be obtained:…”

“…where χ′, χ″, κ, and n are the real and imaginary parts of the optical susceptibility, wave number, and refractive index, respectively [18,19]. According to the basic concepts in classical optics and basic relations in homogeneous, linear, and isotropic media, the following relations are presented for the reflected part of the incident light.…”

Proposal for all-optical controllable double state switch using dipole induced transparency (DIT)

“…Information transportation is difficult by these systems, but it is solved by using photons. So, in recent years many valuable works has been done on EIT, specially on solid state atomic systems with few photon level, where multilevel nanocrystals are realized by quantum dots (QD) [5][6][7]. Theoretical and experimental research on QDs and multilevel atomic systems is on the frontier of research, which has seen rapid progress in the past several years.…”

Optimizing the Bowtie Nano-Antenna for Enhanced Purcell Factor and Electric Field

“…The SPPs can confine the electromagnetic energy in sub-wavelength space, which leads to a greatly enhanced localized surface electromagnetic near-field [5]. The physical property of SPPs makes it possible to integrate photonic devices and electronic devices in the nanometer scale [6], which can be applied in fields of new light sources [7], solar cells [8], highly sensitive biosensors [9,10], nanolithography [11], and nano-optical imaging [12,13].…”
