ABSTRACT
In order to achieve the tunable unidirectional reflection amplification in a uniform atomic medium that is of vital importance to design high-quality nonreciprocal photonic devices, we propose a coherent closed three-level Δ-type atomic system by applying a microwave field, and a strong coupling field of linear variation along the x direction to control a probe field. In our scheme, the linearly increased coupling field destroys the spatial symmetry of probe susceptibility and effectively suppresses the reflection of one side; the microwave field constructs closed loop transitions to amplify the probe field and causes phase changes. The numerical simulation indicates that the unidirectional reflection amplification is sensitive to the relative phase Ï and the coupling detuning Δc. Our results will open a new route toward harnessing optical non-reciprocity, which can provide more convenience and possibilities in the experimental realization.
