Rydberg-induced optical nonlinearities from a cold atomic ensemble trapped inside a cavity
Rajiv Boddeda, Imam Usmani, Erwan Bimbard +4
We experimentally characterize the optical nonlinear response of a cold atomic medium placed inside an optical cavity, and excited to Rydberg states. The excitation to S and D Rydb…
Electromagnetically induced absorption in a non-degenerate three-level ladder system
Daniel J. Whiting, Erwan Bimbard, James Keaveney +3
We investigate, theoretically and experimentally, the transmission of light through a thermal vapour of three-level ladder-type atoms, in the presence of 2 counter-propagating cont…
Quantum statistics of light transmitted through an intracavity Rydberg medium
A. Grankin, E. Brion, E. Bimbard +4
We theoretically investigate the quantum statistical properties of light transmitted through an atomic medium with strong optical non-linearity induced by Rydberg-Rydberg van der W…
Homodyne tomography of a single photon retrieved on demand from a cavity-enhanced cold atom memory
Erwan Bimbard, Rajiv Boddeda, Nicolas Vitrant +5
We experimentally demonstrate that a non-classical state prepared in an atomic memory can be efficiently transferred to a single mode of free-propagating light. By retrieving on de…
Dispersive optical nonlinearities in an EIT-Rydberg medium
Jovica Stanojevic, Valentina Parigi, Erwan Bimbard +2
We investigate dispersive optical nonlinearities that arise from Rydberg excitation blockade in cold Rydberg gases. We consider a two-photon transition scheme and study the non-lin…
Observation and measurement of "giant" dispersive optical non-linearities in an ensemble of cold Rydberg atoms
Valentina Parigi, Erwan Bimbard, Jovica Stanojevic +5
We observe and measure dispersive optical non-linearities in an ensemble of cold Rydberg atoms placed inside an optical cavity. The experimental results are in agreement with a sim…
