Strongly localized polaritons in an array of trapped two-level atoms interacting with a light field

A. P. Alodjants, I. O. Barinov, S. M. Arakelian

We propose a new type of spatially periodic structure, i.e. polaritonic crystal (PolC), to observe a "slow"/"stopped" light phenomenon due to coupled atom-field states (polaritons)…
