Group Delay-NLO Ultra-Slow Light and Enhanced Nonlinear Optical Effects in a Coherently Driven Hot Atomic Gas
We report the observation of small group velocities of order 90 meters per second, and large group delays of greater than 0.26 ms, in an optically dense hot rubidium gas (≈ 360 K). Media of this kind yield strong nonlinear interactions between very weak optical fields, and very sharp spectral features. The result is in agreement with previous studies on nonlinear spectroscopy of dense coherent ...

متن کاملNonlinear optics and quantum entanglement of ultraslow single photons
Two light pulses propagating with slow group velocities in a coherently prepared atomic gas exhibit dissipation-free nonlinear coupling of an unprecedented strength. This enables a single-photon pulse to coherently control or manipulate the quantum state of the other. Processes of this kind result in generation of entangled states of radiation field and open up new prospectives for quantum info...
متن کاملFormation and propagation of coupled ultraslow optical soliton pairs in a cold three-state double- system.
We investigate the simultaneous formation and propagation of coupled ultraslow optical soliton pairs in a cold, lifetime-broadened three-state double-Lambda atomic system. Starting from the equations of motion of atomic response and two-mode probe-control electromagnetic fields, we derive coupled nonlinear Schrödinger equations that govern the nonlinear evolution of the envelopes of the probe f...
متن کاملCoupled atomic coherences induced by a standing wave
Atomic coherence effects with a strong standing-wave coupling field on a four-level system of hot Rb atoms are investigated. Amplitude modulation and phase modulation of the strong standing-wave field are coherently coupled in linear and nonlinear atomic polarizations in various multi-wave mixing processes. Such coupled atomic coherence effect leads to one-photon triple-bandpass filters in an e...
