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 کاملMimicking interacting relativistic theories with stationary pulses of light.
One of the most well known relativistic field theory models is the Thirring model. Its realization can demonstrate the famous prediction for the renormalization of mass due to interactions. However, experimental verification of the latter requires complex accelerator experiments whereas analytical solutions of the model can be extremely cumbersome to obtain. In this work, following Feynman's or...
متن کاملLight Pulses Could Improve
P urdue University researchers have developed a way to finely control ultrafast laser pulses’ spectral properties to create more powerful optical-communications technologies. The laser pulses last a trillionth to a quadrillionth of a second—a picosecond to a femtosecond. In essence, each pulse could serve as a data bit in future high-speed optical-communications systems, explained Purdue profes...
متن کاملStationary solitonlike pulses in birefringent optical fibers.
Propagation of solitonlike pulses in birefringent nonlinear fibers has attracted much attention in recent years [1—14]. The equations that describe pulse propagation in these fibers have been derived by Menyuk [1]. These equations are quite complicated and can be solved only in an approximate way for certain specific cases. Two main cases have been studied in depth: high and low birefringent fi...
