Nonlinear magneto-optic polarization rotation with intense laser fields
(American Physical Society, 2008)
We have studied the nonlinear Faraday effect with intense linear polarized light in an optically thick atomic rubidium vapor. We demonstrate that the polarization rotation rate (rotation angle per unit magnetic field, in ...
Electromagnetically induced transparency in rubidium vapor prepared by a comb of short optical pulses
(American Physical Society, 2005)
It was shown by Kocharovskaya and Khanin [Sov. Phys. JETP 63, 945 (1986)] that a comb of optical pulses can induce a ground-state atomic coherence and change the optical response of an atomic medium. In our experiment, we ...
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 ...
