  • This paper demonstrates theoretically that a Raman gain grating can be formed in an ultracold atomic medium driven by a standing wave and a probe field. Due to the spatial modulation of active Raman gain, the weak probe field propagating along the direction normal to the standing wave can be diffracted into the first-order direction effectively, and the zero-order diffracted beam is also amplified. Under manipulation by a microwave field, the first-order diffraction efficiency can be improved to be higher than that of electromagnetically induced phase grating. This system can be used as a highly efficient switch for an all-optical network.
