Multipole blackbody radiation shift in Rydberg atoms

R. M. Potvliege

We study the role of retardation in the energy shift of Rydberg states induced by thermal radiation, focusing on the case of temperatures higher than those for which the electric-d…

Light propagation through an atomic vapor with non-orthogonal electric field modes

Jack D. Briscoe, Danielle Pizzey, Robert M. Potvliege +2

Alkali-metal atomic vapors are the foundation of an ever-growing range of applications, driven by a comprehensive understanding of their interaction with light. In particular, many…

Self-induced transparency and optical transients in atomic vapors

B. S. Cartwright, S. A. Wrathmall, R. M. Potvliege

The rapid turn-on of a strong, resonant, continuous wave laser field may trigger the formation of a transient oscillation akin to a train of damped solitons, before the vapor-field…

Spectroscopy of light atoms and bounds on physics beyond the standard model

R M Potvliege

Newly calculated bounds on the strength of the coupling of an electron to a proton or a neutron by a fifth force are presented. These results are derived from the high precision sp…

CoOMBE: A suite of open-source programs for the integration of the optical Bloch equations and Maxwell-Bloch equations

R M Potvliege, S A Wrathmall

The programs described in this article and distributed with it aim (1) at integrating the optical Bloch equations governing the time evolution of the density matrix representing th…

Microwave-optical spectroscopy of Rydberg excitons in the ultrastrong driving regime

Alistair Brewin, Liam A P Gallagher, Jon D Pritchett +4

We study the ultrastrong driving of Rydberg excitons in CuO by a microwave field. The effect of the field is studied using optical absorption spectroscopy, and through the obse…

Non-Hermitian Floquet dynamics in absorption spectroscopy

R M Potvliege

A theory of the absorption of a laser field by an atomic or condensed matter medium is presented for the case where the medium is also interacting with a strong electromagnetic fie…

mqdtfit: A collection of Python functions for empirical multichannel quantum defect calculations

R. M. Potvliege

The Python functions distributed with this article can be used for calculating the parameters of multichannel quantum defect theory models describing excited bound states of comple…
