Single-photon all-optical switching using waveguide-cavity QED
This manuscript demonstrates switching of a single signal photon by a single gating photon of a different frequency, via a cross-phase modulation. This effect is mediated by materials exhibiting electromagnetically-induced transparency (EIT), which are embedded in photonic crystals (PhC’s). An analytical model based on waveguide-cavity QED is constructed for our system, which consists of a PhC ...

متن کاملControlling of Absorption and Dispersion Spectrum via Electromagnetically Induced Transparency
In this paper we examine the absorption and dispersion properties of a weak probe field via Electromagnetically Induced Transparency (EIT) in a four-level system. It is shown that under certain condition, using this model, the absorption cancellation is appeared and the medium becomes transparent to the weak probe field. It will be shown that the controlling of absorption and dispersion spectru...
متن کاملShaping quantum pulses of light via coherent atomic memory.
We describe proof-of-principle experiments demonstrating a novel approach for generating pulses of light with controllable photon numbers, propagation direction, timing, and pulse shapes. The approach is based on preparation of an atomic ensemble in a state with a desired number of atomic spin excitations, which is later converted into a photon pulse. Spatiotemporal control over the pulses is o...
متن کاملA Stern-Gerlach experiment for slow light
Electromagnetically induced transparency allows for light transmission through dense atomic media by means of quantum interference1. Media exhibiting electromagnetically induced transparency have very interesting properties, such as extremely slow group velocities2-4. Associated with the slow light propagation are quasiparticles, the so-called dark polaritons, which are mixtures of a photonic a...
