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 ...
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 ...
Nonlinear optics via double dark resonances
(American Physical Society, 2003)
Double dark resonances originate from a coherent perturbation of a system displaying electromagnetically induced transparency. We experimentally show and theoretically confirm that this leads to the possibility of extremely ...
Propagation dynamics of controlled cross-talk via interplay between chi((1)) and chi((3)) processes
(American Physical Society, 2011)
We investigate theoretically and experimentally the propagation dynamics of a nonlinear cross-talk effect between two probe channels in a double-ladder system and show that an interplay between chi((1)) and chi((3)) processes ...
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 ...
Quantum search protocol for an atomic array
(American Physical Society, 2001)
Quantum computers can, in principle, exceed the speed of ordinary computers by taking advantage of quantum coherence and entanglement. It is possible to find a "needle in a haystack" of N-1 straws in only rootN searches ...
