Spectral narrowing via quantum coherence
(American Physical Society, 2006)
We have studied the transmission through an optically thick Rb-87 vapor that is illuminated by monochromatic and noise-broadened laser fields in Lambda configuration. The spectral width of the beat signal between the two ...
Enhancement of magneto-optic effects via large atomic coherence in optically dense media RID B-9041-2008
(American Physical Society, 2000)
We utilize the generation of large atomic coherence in optically dense media to enhance the resonant nonlinear magneto-optic effect by several orders of magnitude, thereby eliminating power broadening and improving the ...
Vacuum squeezing in atomic media via self-rotation RID A-1272-2007 RID B-9041-2008
(American Physical Society, 2002)
When linearly polarized light propagates through a medium in which elliptically polarized light would undergo self-rotation, squeezed vacuum can appear in the orthogonal polarization. A simple relationship between self-rotation ...
Nonlinear magneto-optical rotation of elliptically polarized light RID A-1272-2007 RID B-9041-2008
(American Physical Society, 2003)
We predict theoretically and demonstrate experimentally an ellipticity-dependent nonlinear magneto-optic rotation of elliptically polarized light propagating in a medium with atomic coherence. We show that this effect ...
