Improving engine efficiency by extracting laser energy from hot exhaust gas RID A-1272-2007
(American Physical Society, 2003)
We show that it is possible to improve the efficiency of a classical Otto-cycle heat engine by adding a high-Q microwave cavity and a laser system that can extract coherent laser energy from thermally excited "exhaust" ...
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 ...
Resonant enhancement of high-order optical nonlinearities based on atomic coherence RID A-1272-2007
(American Physical Society, 2002)
We show that the effect of coherent population trapping may result in resonant enhancement of chi((5)) or higher-order nonlinearities. The enhancement is accompanied by suppression of the other linear and nonlinear ...
Compensation of ac Stark shifts in optical magnetometry RID B-9041-2008 RID A-1272-2007
(American Physical Society, 2001)
The ac Stark shift of the resonance frequency of the nonlinear magneto-optic effect (NMOE) results in a fundamental broadening of this resonance which limits the precision of optical magnetometry based on NMOE. We have ...
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 ...
