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 ...
Subwavelength atom localization via amplitude and phase control of the absorption spectrum
(American Physical Society, 2005)
We propose a scheme for subwavelength localization of an atom conditioned upon the absorption of a weak probe field at a particular frequency. Manipulating atom-field interaction on a certain transition by applying drive ...
Manipulation of the Raman process via incoherent pump, tunable intensity, and phase control
(American Physical Society, 2008)
We present a proposal to manipulate the Raman process via incoherent pump, tunable intensity, and phase control of the driving fields. It is found that Raman absorptive peaks can become Raman gain peaks by controlling the ...
Buffer-gas-induced absorption resonances in Rb vapor RID B-9041-2008
(American Physical Society, 2004)
We observe transformation of the electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) resonance into an absorption resonance in a Lambda interaction configuration in a cell filled with Rb-87 and a buffer gas. This transformation ...
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 ...
Optical imaging beyond the diffraction limit via dark states RID A-8711-2009
(American Physical Society, 2008)
We study the possibility of creating spatial patterns having subwavelength size by using the so-called dark states formed by the interaction between atoms and optical fields. These optical fields have a specified spatial ...
Coherence-induced entanglement
(American Physical Society, 2005)
We show how atomic coherence can lead to entanglement between two thermal fields at a temperature T. We first show that the passage of a three-level atom in V configuration without coherence cannot create entanglement. ...
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 ...
