Mr. Ziauddin,

Details of this week's seminar follow. Please note the changed day and time - THURSDAY, 02:30 PM - which will apply to all weekly seminars from now on, as notified last week.



Day, date and time: THURSDAY, Sep 20, 2012, 02:30 PM

Speaker: Mr. Ziauddin

Venue: Seminar Hall, Academic Block I

Control of the Goos-Hanchen shift using an Atomic Medium with Electromagnetically Induced Transparency


Abstract: The behavior of the Goos-Hanchen (GH) shifts in the reflected and transmitted light beam which is incident on a cavity containing an intracavity medium of three-level or four-level atoms with electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) is discussed. We report a control of the GH shift in a fixed configuration or device via superluminal and subluminal wave propagation. For superluminal wave propagation, we observe negative GH shifts in the reflected part of the incident light whereas the shifts are positive in the transmitted light beam. This corresponds to the negative group index of the cavity in the former case and positive group index of the cavity in the latter. For subluminal wave propagation, the behavior of the GH shifts in the reflected light changes and positive shifts appear; however, the GH shifts in the transmitted light remains positive. The corresponding group index of the cavity is positive in both cases.


Please ensure your and your students' attendance. Tea and cookies will be served at the end of the seminar, as usual.
