摘要： We theoretically propose a method to realize optical nonreciprocity in rotating nano-diamond with a nitrogen-vacancy (NV) center. Because of the relative motion of the NV center with respect to the propagating fields, the frequencies of the fields are shifted due to the Doppler effect. When the control and probe fields are incident to the NV center from the same direction, the two-photon resonance still holds as the Doppler shifts of the two fields are the same. Thus, due to the electromagnetically-induced transparency (EIT), the probe light can pass through the NV center nearly without absorption. However, when the two fields propagate in opposite directions, the probe light can not effectively pass through the NV center as a result of the breakdown of two-photon resonance.

摘要： Coherent sources exploiting the stimulated emission of non-equilibrium quantum systems, i.e. gain media, have proven indispensable for advancing fundamental research and engineering. The operating electromagnetic bands of such coherent sources have been continuously enriched for increasing demands.Nevertheless, for a single bench top coherent source, simultaneous generation of radiation in multiple bands, especially when the bands are widely separated, present formidable challenges with a single gain medium. Here, we propose a mechanism of simultaneously realizing the stimulated emission of radiation in the visible and microwave bands, i.e. lasing and masing actions, at ambient conditions by utilizing photoexcited singlet and triplet states of the pentacene molecules that are doped in p-terphenyl. The possibility is validated by the observed amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) at 645 nm with a narrow linewidth around 1 nm from the pentacene-doped p-terphenyl crystal used for masing at 1.45 GHz and consolidated by a 20 fold lower threshold of ASE compared to the reported masing threshold. The overall threshold of the pentacene-based multiband coherent source can be optimized by appropriate alignment of the pump-light polarization with the pentacene's transition dipole moment. Our work not only shows a great promise on immediate realization of multiband coherent sources but also establishes an intriguing solid-state platform for fundamental research of quantum optics in multiple frequency domains.
