Coherent Scattering of Near-Resonant Light by a Dense, Microscopic Cloud of Cold Two-Level Atoms: Experiment versus Theory
Stephan Jennewein, Ludovic Brossard, Yvan R. P. Sortais +4
We measure the coherent scattering of low-intensity, near-resonant light by a cloud of laser-cooled two-level rubidium atoms with a size comparable to the wavelength of light. We i…
Collective resonance fluorescence in small and dense atom clouds: Comparison between theory and experiment
S. D. Jenkins, J. Ruostekoski, J. Javanainen +5
We study the emergence of a collective optical response of a cold and dense Rb atomic cloud to a near-resonant low-intensity light when the atom number is gradually increase…
Optical resonance shifts in the fluorescence of thermal and cold atomic gases
S. D. Jenkins, J. Ruostekoski, J. Javanainen +4
We show that the resonance shifts in the fluorescence of a cold gas of rubidium atoms substantially differ from those of thermal atomic ensembles that obey the standard continuous…
Propagation of light through small clouds of cold interacting atoms
S. Jennewein, Y. R. P. Sortais, J. -J. Greffet +1
We demonstrate experimentally that a cloud of cold atoms with a size comparable to the wavelength of light can induce large group delays on a laser pulse when the laser is tightly…
