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 field generation via maximal atomic coherence prepared by fast adiabatic passage in Rb vapor
(American Physical Society, 2004)
We have experimentally demonstrated the enhancement of coherent Raman scattering in Rb atomic vapor by exciting maximal atomic coherence with fractional stimulated Raman adiabatic passage. Experimental results are in good ...
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 ...
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 ...
