Experimental demonstration of spinor slow light
Slow light based on the effect of electromagnetically induced transparency is of great interest due to its applications in low-light-level nonlinear optics and quantum information manipulation. The previous experiments all dealt with the single-component slow light. Here, we report the experimental demonstration of two-component or spinor slow light using a double-tripod atom-light coupling sch...
متن کاملDemonstration of a slow-light laser radar.
We propose and demonstrate a proof-of-concept system for a coherently combined multi-aperture slow-light laser radar. By employing slow-light delay elements in short-pulse-emitting systems to ensure synchronized pulse arrival at the target, we show that it is possible to simultaneously achieve high resolution in the transverse and the lateral dimensions with a wide steering angle.
متن کاملSpinor slow-light and dirac particles with variable mass.
We consider the interaction of two weak probe fields of light with an atomic ensemble coherently driven by two pairs of standing wave laser fields in a tripod-type linkage scheme. The system is shown to exhibit a Dirac-like spectrum for light-matter quasiparticles with multiple dark states, termed spinor slow-light polaritons. They posses an "effective speed of light" given by the group velocit...
متن کاملExperimental demonstration of wideband dispersion-compensated slow light by a chirped photonic crystal directional coupler.
We report on the fabrication and evaluation of a directional coupler consisting of two different chirped photonic crystal (PC) waveguides that can generate wideband, low dispersion slow light. The directional coupler was fabricated from a silicon-on-insulator PC slab with airhole diameter chirping. For both waveguides, we observed a group index of 60-80 near the photonic band edge and opposite ...
متن کاملExperimental demonstration of slow and superluminal light in semiconductor optical amplifiers.
Tunable delays in semiconductor optical amplifiers are achieved via four wave mixing between a strong pump beam and a modulated probe beam. The delay of the probe beam can be controlled both electrically, by changing the SOA bias, and optically, by varying the pump power or the pump-probe detuning. For sinusoidal modulated signal at 0.5 GHz, a tunable delay of 1.6 ns is achieved. This correspon...
