Phase controlling of electromagnetically induced grating

Abstract

Abstract In this paper, we investigated electromagnetically induced grating in a three-level atomic system via relative phase between applied lights. The three-level atomic system interacts with a weak probe light, a signal light and a strong standing wave coupling light in two-dimensional directions. We realized that Fraunhofer diffraction pattern can be obtained by tuning the intensity and detuning’s of the coupling light. We also use of optical vortex light instead of optical plane wave and found that the asymmetric diffraction pattern can be obtained via orbital angular momentum (OAM), respectively. We also studied the different orders of the diffraction pattern versus relative phase of applied lights for different number of OAM.
