Theory of Thermal Motion in Electromagnetically Induced Transparency: Diffusion, Doppler, Dicke and Ramsey
O. Firstenberg, M. Shuker, R. Pugatch +3
We present a theoretical model for electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) in vapor, that incorporates atomic motion and velocity-changing collisions into the dynamics of th…
Storing images in warm atomic vapor
M. Shuker, O. Firstenberg, R. Pugatch +2
Reversible and coherent storage of light in atomic medium is a key-stone of future quantum information applications. In this work, arbitrary two-dimensional images are slowed and s…
Slowing the Decay of an Excited Atom by the Presence of a Detector
D. R. Fredkin, Amiram Ron
The decay of an excited is shown to slow down in the presence of a photo detector. This is similar to the behavior of an atom in a mistuned cavity, and under the conditions of the…
Topological stability of stored optical vortices
R. Pugatch, M. Shuker, O. Firstenberg +2
We report an experiment in which an optical vortex is stored in a vapor of Rb atoms. Due to its 2πphase twist, this mode, also known as the Laguerre-Gauss mode, is topologically st…
