Transformation of vector modes by the Faraday effect in strong magnetic fields
Sphinx J. Svensson, Craig J. A. Millar, Danielle Pizzey +2
Large Faraday rotations can be generated by circular birefringence of atomic samples in an axial magnetic field in the vicinity of atomic resonance lines. The Faraday angle is a fu…
Spatio-spectral vector light created by optical activity in rubidium vapor
Richard Aguiar Maduro, Riaan P. Schmidt, Mustafa A. Al Khafaji +5
We demonstrate a pump-probe scheme in which an atomic vapor is optically pumped with circularly polarized light and probed with a vector vortex beam. The pump induces a macroscopic…
Atomic state interferometry for complex vector light
Kuntal Samanta, Sphinx J. Svensson, Sonja Franke-Arnold +1
Features of complex vector light become important in any interference effects, including scattering, diffraction, and non-linear processes. Here we are investigating the role of po…
Visualizing strongly focused 3D light fields in an atomic vapor
Sphinx Svensson, Clare R. Higgins, Danielle Pizzey +2
Structured light, when strongly focused, generates highly confined vectorial electromagnetic field distributions which may feature a polarization component along the optical axis.…
Interaction of vector light beams with atoms exposed to a time-dependent magnetic field
Shreyas Ramakrishna, Riaan P. Schmidt, Anton A. Peshkov +3
During recent years interest has been rising for applications of vector light beams towards magnetic field sensing. In particular, a series of experiments were performed to extract…
