Abstract
A new scheme for investigating electromagnetically induced grating in four-level cascade-type of cold atoms is presented. The novel result indicates that the diffraction efficiency of phase grating is dramatically enhanced due to the presence of an RF-driven field and a diffraction efficiency up to 34% can be obtained. Furthermore, it is found that the frequency detuning of the applied laser fields with the corresponding atomic transition and the interaction length can improve the efficiency of the phase grating in the present atomic model. This work has potential applications in all-optical communication processes.
