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 کاملDecoherence-induced geometric phase in a multilevel atomic system
We consider the STIRAP process in a three-level atom. Viewed as a closed system, no geometric phase is acquired. But in the presence of spontaneous emission and/or collisional relaxation we numerically show that a nonvanishing, purely real, geometric phase is acquired during STIRAP, whose magnitude grows with the decay rates. We speculate that rather than viewing this decoherence-induced geomet...
متن کاملInduction of Localized Hyperthermia by Millisecond Laser Pulses in the Presence of Gold-Gold Sulphide Nanoparticles in a Phantom
Introduction Application of near-infrared absorbing nanostructures can induce hyperthermia, in addition to providing more efficient photothermal effects. Gold-gold sulfide (GGS) is considered as one of these nanostructures. This study was performed on a tissue-equivalent optical-thermal phantom to determine the temperature profile in the presence and absence of GGS and millisecond pulses of a ...
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...
متن کاملIonization-induced self-compression of tightly focused femtosecond laser pulses.
As lasers become progressively higher in power, optical damage thresholds will become a limiting factor. Using the nonlinear optics of plasma may be a way to circumvent these limits. Here, we present a new self-compression mechanism for high-power, femtosecond laser pulses based on geometrical focusing and three dimensional spatiotemporal reshaping in an ionizing plasma. By propagating tightly ...
