Direction-dependent coupling between a nanofiber-guided light field and a two-level atom with an electric quadrupole transition

Fam Le Kien, Sile Nic Chormaic, Thomas Busch

We study the directional dependence of the coupling between a nanofiber-guided light field and a two-level atom with an electric quadrupole transition. We examine the situation whe…

Transfer of angular momentum of guided light to an atom with an electric quadrupole transition near an optical nanofiber

Fam Le Kien, Sile Nic Chormaic, Thomas Busch

We study the transfer of angular momentum of guided photons to a two-level atom with an electric quadrupole transition near an optical nanofiber. We show that the generation of the…

Rubidium atom spectral lineshapes in high intensity electric fields near an optical nanofibre

Vandna Gokhroo, Fam Le Kien, Síle Nic Chormaic

The integration of cold atomic systems with optical nanofibres is an increasingly important experimental platform. Here, we report on the spectra observed during a strongly driven,…

Repulsive Casimir-Polder potentials of low-lying excited states of a multilevel alkali-metal atom near an optical nanofiber

Fam Le Kien, D. F. Kornovan, Sile Nic Chormaic +1

We study the Casimir-Polder potential of a multilevel alkali-metal atom near an optical nanofiber. We calculate the mean potential of the atom in a fine-structure level. We perform…

Optical trap for an atom around the midpoint between two coupled identical parallel optical nanofibers

Fam Le Kien, Sile Nic Chormaic, Thomas Busch

We study the trapping of a ground-state cesium atom in a small region around the midpoint between two coupled identical parallel optical nanofibers. We suggest to use a blue-detune…

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…
