Microwave electrometry with bichromatic electromagnetically induced transparency in Rydberg atoms

This study focuses on the Optomechanical bichromatic wavelength switching system as an indirect two-color up-conversion process that relies on optical force and nanorod scattering effects. This system is used to control light coupling between four parallel optical waveguides made of silicon nitride (Si3N4) which form two identical parts. The parallel waveguides with 0.5 µm × 0.5 µm cross-section and 220 µm lengths are suspended on a silica (SiO2) substrate embedded with the array of square silicon (Si) nanorods. By mid-IR plane wave illumination, as control light, with different intensities and different wavelengths on nanorods, scattering would increase and result in an improvement in attractive gradient optical force exerted on waveguides. Via bending waveguides toward each other, caused by optical gradient force, two different visible lights, as probe signals, propagating in the first waveguide of each section would couple to the adjacent waveguide. Simulation results reveal that when the distance between the parallel waveguides in the equilibrium position is 100 nm and the intensity of mid-IR light is 1.28 mW/µm2 total coupling would occur in two situations: 1- when the control light is 4.5 µm, the probe light with 713 nm wavelength is transmitted to the output, 2- when the control light is 3 µm, the probe light with 609 nm wavelength is transmitted to the output. In the first case 1.92 pN/µm optical force is needed to bend each waveguide by 9 nm and in the second one, 1.28 pN/µm optical force is needed to bend each waveguide by 6 nm for total coupling. The efficiency of the coupled waveguides system is %88.6 for 609 nm probe light injection and %96.5 for 713 nm probe light injection.
