Stationary Light Pulses in Cold Atomic Media
Stationary light pulses (SLPs), i.e., light pulses without motion, are formed via the retrieval of stored probe pulses with two counter-propagating coupling fields. We show that there exist nonnegligible hybrid Raman excitations in media of cold atoms that prohibit the SLP formation. We experimentally demonstrate a method to suppress these Raman excitations and realize SLPs in laser-cooled atom...
متن کاملCoherent Control of Stationary Light Pulses 1
We present a detailed analysis of the recently demonstrated technique to generate quasi-stationary pulses of light [M. Bajcsy et al., Nature (London) 426, 638 (2003)] based on electromagnetically induced transparency. We show that the use of counterpropagating control fields to retrieve a light pulse, previously stored in a collective atomic Raman excitation, leads to quasi-stationary light fie...
متن کاملEntangled light pulses from single cold atoms.
The coherent interaction between a laser-driven single trapped atom and an optical high-finesse resonator allows one to produce entangled multiphoton light pulses on demand. The mechanism is based on the mechanical effect of light. The degree of entanglement can be controlled through the parameters of the laser excitation. Experimental realization of the scheme is within reach of current techno...
متن کاملLight scattering from dense cold atomic media
We theoretically study the propagation of light through a cold atomic medium, where the effects of motion, laser intensity, atomic density, and polarization can all modify the properties of the scattered light. We present two different microscopic models: the “coherent dipole model” and the “random-walk model”, both suitable for modeling recent experimental work done in large atomic arrays in t...
متن کاملLight localization in cold and dense atomic ensemble
We report on results of theoretical analysis of possibilities of light strong (Anderson) localization in a cold atomic ensemble. We predict appearance of localization in dense atomic systems in strong magnetic field. We prove that in absence of the field the light localization is impossible. The analysis of possibilities of light strong (Anderson) localization in a cold atomic ensemble is based...
