It finds that negative refraction with little absorption may be achieved in the presence of local-field enhanced interaction and dynamically induced chirality. The complex refractive index governing the probe refraction and absorption depends critically on the atomic density, the steady population distribution, the coherence dephasings, and the frequency de- tunings, and is also sensitive to the phase of the driving field because the photonic transition paths form a close loop. Thus, it can periodically tune the refractive index at a fixed frequency from negative to positive values and vice versa just by modulating the driving phase. Moreover, the optimal negative refraction is found to be near the probe magnetic resonance, which then requires the electric fields of the probe and the drive being on two-photon resonance due to the dipole synchronisation.展开更多

It was demonstrated that if the weight ratio of the chiral dopant was fixed as 4.8wt%, an induced chiral nematic (N^(*)) phase existed in the ternary system when PS(4BC/DM) ratio was below 47.6 wt%. Moreover, smectic like long range ordering appeared in the induced N^(*) phase in a certain temperature range just above the smectic A(S_(A))-N^(*) phase transition when PS(4BC/DM) ratio was between 19.1wt% and 47.6wt%.展开更多
