A new scheme for investigating the EIG in a three-level ladder-configuration n-doped in 0.47Ga0.53As semiconductor quantum well is presented.
It is shown that the first-order diffraction intensity sensitively depends on the intensity of coupling fields, detuning of applied laser fields and interaction length.
A very novel result shows the considerable efficiency of higher order diffractions is significantly improved via relative phase between applied laser fields.
It is found that the intensity of the switching and coupling fields can increase the efficiency of the phase grating in the present model.
The present model may be instructive to design new photonic devices in optical switching and imaging
