摘要：
An all-optical transistor (AOT) is a device in which one light beam can efficiently manipulate another. It is the foundational component of an all-optical communication network. An AOT that can operate at ultralow light levels is especially attractive for its potential application in the quantum information field. Here, we demonstrate an AOT driven by a weak light beam with an energy density of 2.5 x 10(-5) photons/(lambda(2)/2 pi) (corresponding to 6 yJ/(lambda(2)/2 pi) and about 800 total photons) using the double-Lambda four-wave mixing process in hot rubidium vapor. This makes it a promising candidate for ultralow-light-level optical communication and quantum information science. (C) 2014 AIP Publishing LLC.
