A stationary Rydberg polariton
Annika Tebben, Clément Hainaut, Andre Salzinger +4
We propose a novel scheme for coupling a Rydberg state to a stationary light polariton, based on a dual-V level scheme. We investigate the properties of the resulting stationary Ry…

Nonlinear absorption in interacting Rydberg electromagnetically-induced-transparency spectra on two-photon resonance
Annika Tebben, Clément Hainaut, Andre Salzinger +6
We experimentally investigate the nonlinear transmission spectrum of coherent light fields propagating through a Rydberg EIT medium with strong atomic interactions. In contrast to…

Blockade-induced resonant enhancement of the optical nonlinearity in a Rydberg medium
Annika Tebben, Clément Hainaut, Valentin Walther +4
We predict a resonant enhancement of the nonlinear optical response of an interacting Rydberg gas under conditions of electromagnetically induced transparency. The enhancement orig…
