Light propagation in atomic stratified media: breakdown of the transfer-matrix method at high density
Igor M. Sokolov, William Guerin
The transfer-matrix method is a standard approach to wave propagation in stratified media. With the advent of cold-atom-based quantum and photonic technologies, several experiments…

Temporal dynamics in the Bragg reflection of light by cold atoms: flash effect and superradiant decay
S. Asselie, J. -M. Nazon, R. Caldani +2
We study the temporal dynamics of light interacting with a one-dimensional lattice of cold atoms. In such a system, a photonic band gap opens up, yielding an efficient Bragg reflec…
