Ultraslow propagation of matched pulses by four-wave mixing in an atomic vapor
V. Boyer, C. F. McCormick, E. Arimondo +1
We have observed the ultraslow propagation of matched pulses in nondegenerate four-wave mixing in a hot atomic vapor. Probe pulses as short as 70 ns can be delayed by a tunable tim…
Strong low-frequency quantum correlations from a four-wave mixing amplifier
C. F. McCormick, A. M. Marino, V. Boyer +1
We show that a simple scheme based on nondegenerate four-wave mixing in a hot atomic vapor behaves like a near-perfect phase-insensitive optical amplifier, which can generate brigh…
Strong relative intensity squeezing by 4-wave mixing in Rb vapor
C. F. McCormick, V. Boyer, E. Arimondo +1
We have measured -3.5 dB (-8.1 dB corrected for losses) relative intensity squeezing between the probe and conjugate beams generated by stimulated, nondegenerate four-wave mixing i…
Fast light, slow light, and phase singularities: a connection to generalized weak values
D. R. Solli, C. F. McCormick, R. Y. Chiao +2
We demonstrate that Aharonov-Albert-Vaidman (AAV) weak values have a direct relationship with the response function of a system, and have a much wider range of applicability in bot…
Experimental observation of superluminal group velocities in bulk two-dimensional photonic bandgap crystals
D. R. Solli, C. F. McCormick, R. Y. Chiao +1
We have experimentally observed superluminal and infinite group velocities in bulk hexagonal two-dimensional photonic bandgap crystals with bandgaps in the microwave region. The gr…
Weak-wave advancement in nearly collinear four-wave mixing
C. F. McCormick, R. Y. Chiao, J. M. Hickmann
We identify a new four-wave mixing process in which two nearly collinear pump beams produce phase-dependent gain into a weak bisector signal beam in a self-defocusing Kerr medium.…
