Double Lorentzian atomic prism
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present an atomic prism spectrometer that utilizes the steep linear dispersion between two strongly absorbing hyperfine resonances of rubidium. We resolve spectral lines 50 MHz apart and, utilizing a larger part of the available spectrum than only between the two resonances, we spatially separate collinear pump, signal, and idler beams resulting from a four-wave mixing process. Due to the high transparency possible between the resonances, these results have applications in the filtering of narrow-band entangled photons and interaction-free measurements.

Measurement of Lorentzian linewidths by pulse propagation delay.
Two related methods for determining the Lorentzian linewidth of oneand two-photon transitions in an atomic medium are presented. In each method, the linewidth is determined by the relationship between the energy transmission and propagation delay of a series of laser pulses sent through the medium; precise knowledge of the laser frequency, atom density, or matrix elements is not required. @S105...
متن کاملA Two-Dimensional Lorentzian Distribution for an Atomic Force Microscopy Simulator
Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM), a lithographic technique capable of manufacturing nanometer-sized devices, is a promising alternative to modern lithographic methods. Performing physical simulations to replicate the AFM process is not feasible for large surface simulations, therefore a Monte Carlo approach must be considered. Previous research showed that the physical shape of an oxide dot or wir...
متن کاملSpontaneous emission and lame shift in photonic crystals
Being motivated by the controversial results based on two dispersion models and Weisskopf–Wigner approximation (WWA), we introduce, for the first time to our knowledge, the position-dependent photon-atom interaction into the Green function method of the evolution operator and develop a universal theoretical approach to study spontaneous emission of atoms in photonic crystals (PCs). A position-s...
متن کاملHarmonicity and Minimality of Vector Fields on Lorentzian Lie Groups
We consider four-dimensional lie groups equipped with left-invariant Lorentzian Einstein metrics, and determine the harmonicity properties of vector fields on these spaces. In some cases, all these vector fields are critical points for the energy functional restricted to vector fields. We also classify vector fields defining harmonic maps, and calculate explicitly the energy of t...
متن کاملSpacelike hypersurfaces in Riemannian or Lorentzian space forms satisfying L_k(x)=Ax+b
We study connected orientable spacelike hypersurfaces $x:M^{n}rightarrowM_q^{n+1}(c)$, isometrically immersed into the Riemannian or Lorentzian space form of curvature $c=-1,0,1$, and index $q=0,1$, satisfying the condition $~L_kx=Ax+b$,~ where $L_k$ is the $textit{linearized operator}$ of the $(k+1)$-th mean curvature $H_{k+1}$ of the hypersurface for a fixed integer $0leq k
