“…The detunings ∆ 1(2) = ω 23(31) − ω 1(2) are defined as the differences between the frequencies of the exciton-biexciton transitions ω 23 (31) , and the central frequencies of the probe beams ω 1 (2) . We have neglected the diffraction terms from the Maxwell equations in this study [45][46][47][48]. The specific values chosen for the parameters in this paper are…”

In this paper, we study the spatially structured optical effects that occur when weak laser lights interact with coherently prepared semiconductor quantum dots (SQDs). Initially, the SQD is prepared in a coherent superposition of the lower exciton states. By utilizing two weak optical vortex fields that couple to a biexciton state, we observe spatially dependent effects of the absorption of probe fields. Using the well-established Maxwell–Bloch equations, we analyze the generation of composite optical vortex beams within this system. Our investigation revolves around the formation of different types of spatially dependent beams, exploring their properties and characteristics. Additionally, the transfer of optical vortices through the parametric generation process is examined, for the case where only one vortex beam is present at the beginning of the medium. This study provides insights into the spatially structured optical phenomena in coherently prepared SQDs and contributes to the understanding of light–matter interactions in such systems.

“…In essence, these EIT-enhanced nonlinear effects benefit from a destructive interference in linear absorption as well as a constructive interference in nonlinear susceptibility. [9] As a significant way to generate new light waves, nonlinear multi-wave mixing [10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17] has been a research focus in cavity quantum electrodynamics (QED). [18] For instance, numerous FWM schemes assisted by EIT have been demonstrated in various DOI: 10.1002/qute.202300300 atomic configurations.…”

Electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) plays an important role in enhancing nonlinear optical processes at the quantum level. This paper proposes an accessible scheme for realizing high‐efficiency second‐order nonlinear difference‐frequency generation beyond the conventional EIT technique in superconducting circuits. By designing two subsystems to create two transparency windows from Autler–Townes splitting (ATS), a dual‐ATS mechanism is triggered in the scheme. This mechanism leads to an efficient difference‐frequency generation, and the efficiency obtained here can be four orders of magnitude larger than that of the EIT scheme. This study may pave a way for exploring ATS‐enhanced nonlinear optics.

“…Many groups have researched the refractive index of multi-level atomic systems or semiconductor nanostructures using quantum coherence and interference [27,28]. Due to the most essential applications in quantum information science, the optical characteristics of multi-level atomic systems and diverse configurations have also been addressed in detail [29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38]. Quantum coherence and interference have been shown in certain articles to cause the refractive index of a material to increase or even become negative [39][40][41][42].…”

We proposed a model for adjusting Goos–Hänchen (GH) shifts in a cavity with quantum dot (QD) nanostructure in this letter. The actual component of the susceptibility was studied by analytical solution of the coherence term of the density matrix elements, and the refractive index of the QD nanostructure was explored. We discovered that the intracavity medium became phase sensitive because of the electron tunneling action. As a result, the relative phase of applied lights may be used to manipulate the medium’s refraction index. The GH shifts in reflected and transmitted light beams in high refractive index QD nanostructures with diminishing probe absorption were next examined. We discovered that the GH shifts of reflected and transmitted lights are greatly influenced by the applied lights’ relative phase. We established that greater negative or positive GH shifts in reflected and transmitted photons are conceivable in the presence of electron tunneling.
