Shaped Microwave Field in a Three-Level Closed Loop Dense Atomic System

In this work, we investigate the atomic properties of a three-level system under the effect of a shaped microwave field. The system is simultaneously driven by a powerful laser pulse and a weak constant probe that drives the ground state to an upper level. Meanwhile, an external microwave field drives the upper state to the middle transition with shaped waveforms. Hence, two situations are considered: one in which the atomic system is controlled by a strong laser pump and a classical constant microwave field, and another in which both the microwave and pump laser fields are shaped. Finally, for sake of comparison, we investigate the tanh-hyperbolic, the Gaussian and the power of the exponential microwave form in the system. Our results reveal that shaping the external microwave field has a significant impact on the absorption and dispersion coefficient dynamics. In comparison with the classical scenario, where usually the strong pump laser is considered to have a major role in controlling the absorption spectrum, we show that shaping the microwave field leads to distinct results.
