Abstract

Localization of the three-level Λ-type atomic system interacting with two orthogonal standing-wave fields is proposed. Two equal and tunable peaks in the 2D plane are obtained by the detunings corresponding to the two orthogonal standing-wave fields when the decreasing intensities of spontaneously generated coherence (SGC) arise in the three-level Λ-type atomic system, while one circular ring with shrinking radii in the 2D plane is obtained by the adjusted phases and wave vectors of the standing-wave fields when the increasing intensities of SGC occur in the three-level Λ-type atomic system. 2D atom localization with the single ring with shrinking radii realized by the multiple parametric manipulations demonstrated the flexibility for our scheme.

Highlights

  • Because precise position measurement of a single atom has some potential applications, such as laser cooling and trapping of neutral atoms [1] [2], atom nanolithography [3], Bose-Einstein condensation [4], and measurement of center-of-mass wave function of moving atoms [5] [6], etc., atomic localization has attracted considerable investigation

  • Our aim is to investigate the precise location of the 2D atom localization via χ ′′

  • On the basis of a three-level Λ-type atom model, we investigated its 2D atom localization via different parameters of the two orthogonal standing-wave fields with the decreasing or increasing intensities of spontaneously generated coherence (SGC)

Summary

Introduction

Because precise position measurement of a single atom has some potential applications, such as laser cooling and trapping of neutral atoms [1] [2], atom nanolithography [3], Bose-Einstein condensation [4], and measurement of center-of-mass wave function of moving atoms [5] [6], etc., atomic localization has attracted considerable investigation. Utilizing the interacting between an atom and the standing-wave field, one dimensional (1D) atom localization within the optical wavelength domain is realized by the measurement of the phase shift [7] [8], homodyne detection [9], quantum trajectories [10], the dual quadrature field [11], the upper level population [12].
