Spin-orbit-coupled fluids of light in bulk nonlinear media
Giovanni I. Martone, Tom Bienaimé, Nicolas Cherroret
We show that nonparaxial polarized light beams propagating in a bulk nonlinear Kerr medium naturally exhibit a coupling between the motional and the polarization degrees of freedom…
Dissipation-enhanced collapse singularity of a nonlocal fluid of light in a hot atomic vapor
Pierre Azam, Adrien Fusaro, Quentin Fontaine +6
We study the out-of-equilibrium dynamics of a two-dimensional paraxial fluid of light using a near-resonant laser propagating through a hot atomic vapor. We observe a double shock-…
Analogue cosmological particle creation in an ultracold quantum fluid of light
Jeff Steinhauer, Murad Abuzarli, Tangui Aladjidi +6
In inflationary cosmology, the rapid expansion of the early universe resulted in the spontaneous production of cosmological particles from vacuum fluctuations, observable today in…
Quantitative Analysis of Shock Wave Dynamics in a Fluid of Light
T. Bienaimé, M. Isoard, Q. Fontaine +4
We report on the formation of a dispersive shock wave in a nonlinear optical medium. We monitor the evolution of the shock by tuning the incoming beam power. The experimental obser…
Interferences between Bogoliubov excitations and their impact on the evidence of superfluidity in a paraxial fluid of light
Quentin Fontaine, Pierre-Elie Larré, Giovanni Lerario +7
Paraxial fluids of light represent an alternative platform to atomic Bose-Einstein condensates and superfluid liquids for the study of the quantum behaviour of collective excitatio…
Transmission of near-resonant light through a dense slab of cold atoms
Laura Corman, Jean-Loup Ville, Raphaël Saint-Jalm +5
The optical properties of randomly positioned, resonant scatterers is a fundamentally difficult problem to address across a wide range of densities and geometries. We investigate i…
