Optical nonlinearity in a strongly interacting Rydberg atom ensemble
Lu Qin, Zeyun Shi, Xingdong Zhao +2
Rydberg atoms, characterized by their giant polarizability and strong long-range interactions, provide an ideal platform for exploring optical nonlinearities. By coupling light to…
Shock wave generation and propagation in dissipative and nonlocal nonlinear Rydberg media
Lu Qin, Chao Hang, Guoxiang Huang +1
We investigate the generation of optical shock waves in strongly interacting Rydberg atomic gases with a spatially homogeneous dissipative potential. The Rydberg atom interaction i…
Accessing and Manipulating Dispersive Shock Waves in a Nonlinear and Nonlocal Rydberg Medium
Chao Hang, Zhengyang Bai, Weibin Li +2
Dispersive shock waves (DSWs) are fascinating wave phenomena occurring in media when nonlinearity overwhelms dispersion (or diffraction). Creating DSWs with low generation power an…
Stable high-dimensional weak-light soliton molecules and their active control
Lu Qin, Chao Hang, Boris A. Malomed +1
Bound states of solitons, alias soliton molecules (SMs), are well known in one-dimensional (1D) systems, while making stable bound states of multidimensional solitons is a challeng…
Experimental Observation of Partial Parity-Time Symmetry and Its Phase Transition with a Laser-Driven Cesium Atomic Gas
Yongmei Xue, Chao Hang, Yunhui He +5
Realization and manipulation of parity-time (PT) symmetry in multidimensional systems are highly desirable for exploring nontrivial physics and uncovering exotic phenomena in non-H…
Low-loss Airy Surface Plasmon Polaritons
Qi Zhang, Chaohua Tan, Chao Hang +1
We propose a scheme to obtain a low-loss propagation of Airy surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) along the interface between a dielectric and a negative-index metamaterial (NIMM). We…
