摘要：

We derive an analytic solution for pulsed frequency conversion based on electromagnetically induced transparency or maximum coherence in resonant atomic vapors. In particular, drive-field and coherence depletion are taken into account. The solutions are obtained with the help of a Hamiltonian approach, which in the adiabatic limit allows one to reduce the full set of Maxwell-Bloch equations to simple canonical equations of Hamiltonian mechanics for the field variables. Adiabatic integrals of motion can be obtained and general expressions for the spatiotemporal evolution of field intensities derived. Optimum conditions for maximum conversion efficiency are identified and the physical mechanism of nonlinear conversion in the limit of drive-field and coherence depletion discussed.
