Spatial distributions of the fields in guided normal modes of two coupled parallel optical nanofibers
Fam Le Kien, Lewis Ruks, Sile Nic Chormaic +1
We study the cross-sectional profiles and spatial distributions of the fields in guided normal modes of two coupled parallel optical nanofibers. We show that the distributions of t…
Plasmonic tweezers based on connected nanoring apertures
Theodoros D. Bouloumis, Domna G. Kotsifaki, Xue Han +2
The manipulation of microparticles using optical forces has led to many applications in the life and physical sciences. To extend optical trapping towards the nano-regime, in this…
Spin selection rule for {\it S} level transitions in atomic rubidium under paraxial and nonparaxial two-photon excitation
Krishnapriya Subramonian Rajasree, Ratnesh Kumar Gupta, Vandna Gokhroo +5
We report on an experimental test of the spin selection rule for two-photon transitions in atoms. In particular, we demonstrate that the transition rate in a…
Chiral excitation of a single atom by a single photon in a guided mode of a nanofiber
Fam Le Kien, Sile Nic Chormaic, Thomas Busch
We study the interaction between a single two-level atom and a single-photon probe pulse in a guided mode of a nanofiber. We examine the situation of chiral interaction, where the…
