Spontaneous Symmetry Breaking of an Optical Polarization State in a Polarization-Selective Nonlinear Resonator
K. S. Manannikov, E. I. Mironova, A. S. Poliakov +3
We exploit polarization self-rotation in atomic rubidium vapor to observe spontaneous symmetry breaking and bistability of polarization patterns. We pump the vapor cell with horizo…

Measuring fluorescence into a nanofiber by observing field quadrature noise
Shreyas Jalnapurkar, Paul Anderson, Eugene S. Moiseev +4
We perform balanced homodyne detection of the electromagnetic field in a single-mode tapered optical nanofiber surrounded by rubidium atoms in a magneto-optical trap. Resonant fluo…
