Self-Organization in Cold Atoms Mediated by Diffractive Coupling
Thorsten Ackemann, Guillaume Labeyrie, Giuseppe Baio +8
This article discusses self-organization in cold atoms via light-mediated interactions induced by feedback from a single retro-reflecting mirror. Diffractive dephasing between the…
Analytic instability thresholds in folded Kerr resonators of arbitrary finesse
William J. Firth, John B. Geddes, Nathaniel J. Karst +1
We present analytic threshold formulae applicable to both dispersive (time-domain) and diffractive (pattern-forming) instabilities in Fabry-Perot Kerr cavities of arbitrary finesse…
Thick-medium model of transverse pattern formation in optically excited cold two-level atoms with a feedback mirror
W. J. Firth, I. Kresic, G. Labeyrie +2
We study a pattern forming instability in a laser driven optically thick cloud of cold two-level atoms with a planar feedback mirror. A theoretical model is developed, enabling a f…
Observation of mode-locked spatial laser solitons
F. Gustave, N. Radwell, C. McIntyre +6
A stable nonlinear wave packet, self-localized in all three dimensions, is an intriguing and much sought after object in nonlinear science in general and in nonlinear photonics in…
Analysis of pattern forming instabilities in an ensemble of two-level atoms optically excited by counter-propagating fields
W. J. Firth, I. Krešić, G. Labeyrie +3
We explore various models for the pattern forming instability in a laser-driven cloud of cold two-level atoms with a plane feedback mirror. Focus is on the combined treatment of no…
Optomechanical self-structuring in cold atomic gases
Guillaume Labeyrie, Enrico Tesio, Pedro M. Gomes +6
The rapidly developing field of optomechanics aims at the combined control of optical and mechanical (solid-state or atomic) modes. In particular, laser cooled atoms have been used…
