Abstract
We study a five-level $\text{quasi}\ensuremath{-}\ensuremath{\Lambda}$ system of cold atoms for achieving high-order photonic band gaps (PBGs) probed by an ultraviolet field in two cases where either an infrared or a visible control field works in the standing-wave configuration to induce one atomic grating. Transfer-matrix calculations for appropriate rubidium levels demonstrate that three fifth-order band gaps or two second-order band gaps can be generated near the probe resonance when the standing-wave control field is modulated to satisfy relevant Bragg conditions in the regime of electromagnetically induced transparency. These high-order PBGs, as characterized by homogeneous high reflectivities, can be dynamically tuned in positions and widths on demand and may be extended to develop efficient devices (like diodes and reflectors) for manipulating weak high-frequency light with strong low-frequency light.
