1303.1602 (Lei Feng et al.)

Transition linewidth of cross-correlations in random intensity
fluctuations in EIT
   [PDF]

Lei Feng, Pengxiong Li, Tun Wang, Yanhong Xiao
It is known that cross-correlation between the random intensity fluctuations of two lasers forming electromagnetically-induced transparency (EIT) exhibits a transition from correlation to anticorrelation. We study the linewidth behavior of this transition and have found the linewidth is below the (effective) coherence lifetime limit and is only limited by competing noises. We established a numerical model which reveals the linewidth dependence on laser linewidth and laser power. Our experiments using lasers with different linewidth showed results in qualitative agreement with the model. This result is useful for quantum optics using EIT, and may also have applications in spectroscopy and precision measurements.
