Anomalous coherent backscattering of light from opal photonic crystals.
We studied coherent backscattering (CBS) of light from opal photonic crystals with incomplete band gaps. We observed a dramatic broadening of the CBS cone for incident angles close to the Bragg condition in the crystals. We modify the conventional CBS theory to incorporate Bragg attenuation resulting from the photonic band structure. By fitting the CBS data with the modified theory, we extract ...
متن کاملObservation of coherent backscattering of light by cold atoms
Coherent backscattering (CBS) of light waves by a random medium is a signature of interference effects in multiple scattering. This effect has been studied in many systems ranging from white paint to biological tissues. Recently, we have observed CBS from a sample of laser-cooled atoms, a scattering medium with interesting new properties. In this paper we discuss various effects which have to b...
متن کاملElectromagnetically induced coherent backscattering.
We demonstrate a strong coherent backward wave oscillation using forward propagating fields only. This is achieved by applying laser fields to an ultradispersive medium with proper chosen detunings to excite a molecular vibrational coherence that corresponds to a backward propagating wave. The physics then has much in common with the propagation of ultraslow light. Applications to coherent scat...
متن کاملCoherent backscattering spectroscopy.
Coherent backscattering (CBS) of light in random media has been previously investigated by use of coherent light sources. Here we report a novel method of CBS measurement that combines low spatial coherence, broadband illumination, and spectrally resolved detection. We show that low spatial coherence illumination leads to an anomalously broad CBS peak and a dramatic speckle reduction; the latte...
متن کاملBackscattering in silicon photonic devices
We report on the backscattering induced by sidewall roughness in silicon on insulator optical nanowires, its dependence on the waveguide geometrical and optical parameters and its impact on silicon photonic devices. In silicon ring resonators cavity-enhanced backscattering, increasing with the square of the resonator’s finesse, emerges as a severe
