Polarization squeezing by optical faraday rotation.
We show that it is possible to generate continuous-wave fields and pulses of polarization squeezed light by sending classical, linearly polarized laser light twice through an atomic sample which causes an optical Faraday rotation of the field polarization. We characterize the performance of the process and we show that an appreciable degree of squeezing can be obtained under realistic physical ...
متن کاملOptical Vortices, Faraday Rotation, Optical Activity
Characteristic solutions to Maxwell's equations, constrained to equivalence classes by constitutive equations that have certain crystal symmetries, are represented by phase 1-forms, k, such that both 3-forms vanish: k^F = 0 and k^G = 0: Simple examples are given which show the di®erences between Faraday rotation where the 3-form of Topological Torsion is not zero, A^F 6= 0, and Optical Activity...

1,+2.6XlO-“~X,2 I Ln,B,, dl. 0) rl in-phase components of the polarization angle modulation $. The method is insensitive to laser power variations and path length changes in the probe beam optical circuit and is robust to plasma refractive beam bending. Using a local oscillator derived from the Faraday rotated beam itself, the signals obtained at the two output ports can also be made proportion...
متن کاملNonlinear Faraday rotation for optical limitation.
The possible use of the nonlinear Faraday effect for optical limitation of the laser power is investigated in a resonant Faraday medium placed between two crossed polarizers. The results are comparable with those obtained at strong magnetic fields as a result of the linear Faraday effect. Advantages of the method are the narrow bandwidth and the wide field of view. The investigations are intere...
متن کاملFaraday rotation density measurements of optically thick alkali metal vapors
We investigate the measurement of alkali number densities using the Faraday rotation of linearly polarized light. We "nd that the alkali number density may be reliably extracted even in regimes of very high bu!er gas pressure, and very high alkali number density. We have directly veri"ed our results in potassium using absorption spectroscopy on the second resonance (4 SP5 P). 2001 Published by ...
