Low-Power Cross-Phase Modulation in a Metastable Xenon-Filled Cavity for Quantum Information Applications
G. T. Hickman, T. B. Pittman, J. D. Franson
Weak single-photon nonlinearities have many potential applications in quantum computing and quantum information. Here we demonstrate a relatively simple system for producing low-po…
Ladder-type electromagnetically induced transparency using nanofiber-guided light in a warm atomic vapor
D. E. Jones, J. D. Franson, T. B. Pittman
We demonstrate ladder-type electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) using an optical nanofiber suspended in a warm rubidium vapor. The signal and control fields are both guid…
The role of pump coherence in two-photon interferometry
J. Liang, S. M. Hendrickson, T. B. Pittman
We use a parametric down-conversion source pumped by a short coherence-length continuous-wave (CW) diode laser to perform two-photon interferometry in an intermediate regime betwee…
Observation of two-photon absorption at low power levels using tapered optical fibers in rubidium vapor
S. M. Hendrickson, M. M. Lai, T. B. Pittman +1
Nonlinear optical effects can be enhanced in tapered optical fibers with diameters less than the wavelength of the propagating light. Here we report on the observation of two-photo…
Nonlinear transmission through a tapered fiber in rubidium vapor
S. M. Hendrickson, T. B. Pittman, J. D. Franson
Sub-wavelength diameter tapered optical fibers surrounded by rubidium vapor can undergo a substantial decrease in transmission at high atomic densities due to the accumulation of r…
