Strong chiral optical force for small chiral molecules based on electric-dipole interactions, inspired by the asymmetrical hydrozoan
Robert P. Cameron, Duncan McArthur, Alison M. Yao
Drawing inspiration from a remarkable chiral force found in nature, we show that a static electric field combined with an optical linlin polarization standing wave can exert…
Control of light-atom solitons and atomic transport by optical vortex beams propagating through a Bose-Einstein Condensate
Grant Henderson, Gordon R. M. Robb, Gian-Luca Oppo +1
We model propagation of far-red-detuned optical vortex beams through a Bose-Einstein Condensate using nonlinear Schrödinger and Gross-Pitaevskii equations. We show the formation of…
Rotating and spiralling spatial dissipative solitons of light and cold atoms
Giuseppe Baio, Thorsten Ackemann, Gian-Luca Oppo +2
Clouds of cold neutral atoms driven by a coherent light beam in a ring cavity exhibit self-structured states transversely with respect to the beam axis due to optomechanical forces…
Multiple self-organized phases and spatial solitons in cold atoms mediated by optical feedback
Giuseppe Baio, Gordon R. M. Robb, Alison M. Yao +2
We study the transverse self-structuring of a cloud of cold atoms with effective atomic interactions mediated by a coherent driving beam retro-reflected by means of a single mirror…
Free Electron Laser Generation of X-Ray Poincaré Beams
Jenny Morgan, Erik Hemsing, Brian W. J. McNeil +1
An optics-free method is proposed to generate X-ray radiation with spatially variant states of polarization via an afterburner extension to a Free Electron Laser (FEL). Control of…
Optomechanical transport of cold atoms induced by structured light
Giuseppe Baio, Gordon R. M. Robb, Alison M. Yao +1
Optomechanical pattern forming instabilities in a cloud of cold atoms lead to self-organized spatial structures of light and atoms. Here, we consider the optomechanical self-struct…
