Using both analytic and numerical methods we show that the population transfer efficiency is sensitive to the ratio q_p/q_s of the transition oscillator strengths. We find that the case q_p>q_s is more detrimental for population transfer process as compared to the case where $q_p \\leq q_s$. For this case it is possible to increase medium dimensions while permitting efficient population transfer. A criterion determining the interaction adiabaticity in the course of propagation process is found. We also show that the mixing parameter characterizing the population transfer propagates superluminally.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2013-06-10T14:38:30.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "stimulated raman adiabatic passage", "unequal oscillator strengths", "lambda medium", "bright state", "population transfer process" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "journal": "European Physical Journal D", "year": 2012, "month": "Oct", "volume": 66, "number": 10, "pages": 256 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2012EPJD...66..256G" } } }
