Numerical simulation of the quasi-resonance regime of a transient double resonance in a scheme with a common upper level at a large inhomogeneous broadening of quantum transitions

Abstract

The transient double resonance in the Λ scheme is numerically investigated in the case of a strong inhomogeneous spectral broadening of a medium and nonzero detunings of the frequencies of interacting pulses from the central frequencies of corresponding quantum transitions. It is shown that the signal pulse efficiently interacts with the pump pulse only when a certain condition imposed on the nonzero detunings is satisfied. If this condition is strongly violated at the input to the resonance medium, only a weak field of the rear edge of the input signal pulse mainly interacts with the pump field. In this case, two pulses with different frequencies are formed in the signal channel. This is explained by the specific interaction of radiation with Doppler-broadened quantum transitions.
