Electromagnetically induced transparency and second-order sideband Effects in a Laguerre-Gaussian cavity optorotational system with Kerr medium

Abstract In this paper, we investigate the phenomena of electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) and the generation of second-order sideband in a Laguerre-Gaussian (LG) cavity optorotational sys tem with a Kerr nonlinear medium. Using the perturbation method, we analyze the first- and second order sideband generations in the output field from the system under the actions of a strong control
field and a weak probe field. Numerical simulations show that the Kerr nonlinearity can lead to the occurrence of the asymmetric line shape in the transmission of the probe field and the efficiency of second-order sideband generation, and the Kerr nonlinearity can enhance the efficiency of the second order sideband generation. Comparing with traditional scheme for generating the second-order sideband, our spectral shape of the second-order sideband is amplified and becomes asymmetric, which has potential applications in precision measurement, high-sensitivity devices, and frequency conversion.
