Microwave control of the interaction between two optical photons
D. Maxwell, D. J. Szwer, D. P. Barato +5
A microwave field is used to control the interaction between pairs of optical photons stored in highly excited collective states (Rydberg polaritons). We show that strong dipole-di…
Fast and Quasideterministic Single Ion Source from a Dipole-Blockaded Atomic Ensemble
C. Ates, I. Lesanovsky, C. S. Adams +1
We present a fast and Quasideterministic protocol for the production of single ions and electrons from a cloud of laser cooled atoms. The approach is based on a two-step process wh…
Sub-natural linewidths in excited-state spectroscopy
M. Tanasittikosol, C. Carr, C. S. Adams +1
We investigate, theoretically and experimentally, absorption on an excited-state atomic transition in a thermal vapor where the lower state is coherently pumped. We find that the t…
Optical non-linearity in a dynamical Rydberg gas
J D Pritchard, A Gauguet, K J Weatherill +1
We use the technique of electro-magnetically induced transparency (EIT) to probe the effect of attractive dipole-dipole interactions in a highly excited Rydberg gas. The transient…
Microwave dressing of Rydberg dark states
M. Tanasittikosol, J. D. Pritchard, D. Maxwell +4
We study electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) in the 5s5p46s ladder system of a cold Rb gas. We show that the resonant microwave coupling…
Magnetic merging of ultracold atomic gases of Rb and Rb
S Händel, T P Wiles, A L Marchant +3
We report on the magnetic merging of ultracold atomic gases of Rb and Rb by the controlled overlap of two initially spatially-separated magnetic traps. We present a d…
