Abstract

We report the precise characterization of the optical potential obtained by injecting a distributed-feedback erbium-doped fiber laser at 1560 nm to the transverse modes of a folded optical cavity. The optical potential was mapped in situ using cold rubidium atoms, whose potential energy was spectrally resolved thanks to the strong differential light shift induced by the 1560 nm laser on the two levels of the probe transition. The optical potential obtained in the cavity is suitable for trapping rubidium atoms and eventually to achieve all-optical Bose-Einstein condensation directly in the resonator.

Collective Spin-Light and Light-Mediated Spin-Spin Interactions in an Optical Cavity

Zeyang Li, Boris Braverman, Simone Colombo, Chi Shu, Akio Kawasaki, Albert F. Adiyatullin, Edwin Pedrozo-Penafiel, Enrique Mendez, Vladan Vuletic

Summary: In a high-finesse optical cavity, the interaction between an atomic ensemble and a light mode easily reaches the strong-coupling regime, where quantum effects dominate. This interaction can generate both atom-light and atom-atom entanglement, and conditions are determined to maximize the entanglement-induced gain in quantum sensors and atomic clocks.

Fast Control of Atom-Light Interaction in a Narrow Linewidth Cavity

A. Bertoldi, C-H Feng, D. S. Naik, B. Canuel, P. Bouyer, M. Prevedelli

Summary: We propose a method that utilizes high-finesse optical resonators for light-assisted coherent manipulation of atomic ensembles, overcoming the limit imposed by the finite response time of the cavity. The key element is to rapidly switch the interaction between atoms and the cavity field with an auxiliary control process, such as the light shift induced by an optical beam. This method is applicable to various atomic species in different configurations, and can be used to control both internal and/or external atomic degrees of freedom, opening up new possibilities in cavity-aided atom interferometry and the preparation of highly nonclassical atomic states.

A dual-use probe for nano-metric photoelectric characterization using a confined light field generated by photonic crystals in the cantilever

Yaoping Hou, Chengfu Ma, Wenting Wang, Yuhang Chen

Summary: A plasmonic atomic force microscopy (AFM) probe was proposed, utilizing a part of the laser beam to monitor cantilever deflection as the excitation light source. By integrating photonic crystal cavities near the cantilever's free end, a confined hot-spot at the metal-coated tip apex can be induced via transmitted light excitation. Numerical simulations showed that the plasmonic probe can efficiently couple a tilted, linearly polarized beam and achieve a significant local electromagnetic enhancement, making it a powerful tool for simultaneous optical, mechanical, and electrical characterizations.

Changbiao Li, Qingsong Yu, Yanpeng Zhang, Min Xiao, Zhaoyang Zhang

Summary: Optical isolation based on optical parametric amplification is demonstrated in a coherent three-level atomic configuration. By oppositely launching the probe beams to satisfy or not satisfy the phase-matching condition, the beams can pass through the medium experiencing parametric amplification or strong resonant absorption. This magnet- and cavity-free optical isolation exhibits a high isolation ratio and a broad bandwidth.

Quantitative absorption imaging: The role of incoherent multiple scattering in the saturating regime

Romain Veyron, Vincent Mancois, Jean-Baptiste Gerent, Guillaume Baclet, Philippe Bouyer, Simon Bernon

Summary: In this paper, we investigate the modification of coherent scattering processes in dense ensembles. The reduction of absorption cross section in dense Rb-87 cold atom ensembles is experimentally demonstrated and found to be linearly related to the optical density. A one-dimensional model of coherent field propagation in an ensemble of quantum two-level systems, which incorporates multiple scattering contribution, is proposed to explain this reduction. The role of incoherent scattering on the modification of the optical response of dense ensembles is highlighted, and a generalization of the Beer-Lambert law is presented. This result allows for quantitative and absolute in situ absorption imaging for any effective two-level system ensemble.

Summary: Numerical simulation of multiple scattering is commonly used to predict the optical response of dense ensembles, but current simulations are limited by computational complexity and ignore the internal structure of atoms. This study proposes a method to overcome these limitations by using an effective two-level system that accurately reproduces scattering properties in any saturation regime, and validates the model under various experimentally realistic conditions.
