Abstract

Quantum enhancement of the optical behavior for V −type open atomic system is examined analytically. With consideration of the system which contain N number of atoms, it is derived that the evolution of the atomic variable evolution with respect to time. At steady state, the optical properties of the system have been analyzed. The phase between the upper doublet levels is influencing the optical parameters change in the system. It is observed that for small values of the phase between the upper doublet energy states, the better refractive index of the atomic medium. The refractive index gets the peak value near to the resonance frequency of the probe field. The properties of the re-emitted light from ensemble of three-level atoms have been analyzed in details. In this regard, it is observed that the height of the power spectrum increased while the number of atoms are large in the sample.
