Resumen

The experimental realization of two-dimensional (2D) electromagnetically induced grating is explored by monitoring the Fraunhofer diffraction pattern in a microwave-driven four-level Y-type atomic medium under the action of two orthogonal standing-wave (SW) fields. Due to the position-dependent atom-field interaction, the information about the high diffraction order of the probe light can be obtained via the Fraunhofer diffraction pattern of the probe light. It is found that the diffraction behavior is significantly improved due to the joint quantum interference induced by the SW and microwave-driven cycling fields. Most importantly, the amplitude and phase diagram of the transmission function of the probe light can be modulated at a particular position and the probe energy may transfer to the high orders of the diffraction by properly adjusting the system parameters. The proposed scheme may provide a promising way to achieve highly sensitive diffraction patterns with applications in quantum information processing.
