Light-matter interaction in free space
نویسندگان
چکیده
We review recent experimental advances in the field of efficient coupling of single atoms and light in free space. Furthermore, a comparison of efficient free space coupling and strong coupling in cavity quantum electrodynamics (QED) is given. Free space coupling does not allow for observing oscillatory exchange between the light field and the atom which is the characteristic feature of strong coupling in cavity QED. Like cavity QED, free space QED does, however, offer full switching of the light field, a 180° phase shift conditional on the presence of a single atom as well as 100% absorption probability of a single photon by a single atom. Furthermore, free space cavity QED comprises the interaction with a continuum of modes.

Using mean-field and semi-classical approximation of Thomas-Fermi, within a statistical model, equation of state and critical properties of symmetric nuclear matter is studied. In this model, two body and phenomenological interaction of Myers and Swiatecki is used in phase space. By performing a functional variation of the total Helmholtz free energy of system with respect to the nucleonic di...
متن کاملSinglet scalar dark matter in noncommutative space
In this paper, we examine the singlet scalar dark matter annihilation to becoming the Standard Model particles in the non-commutative space. In the recent decades, many candidates of dark matter have been offered, but our information about the nature of dark matter is still limited. There are such particle candidates as scalar matetr, fermion, boson, gauge boson, etc.; however, they have nei...
متن کاملDirect Detection of Dark Matter with Space-based Laser Interferometers
Dark matter pervades the Solar System, free-streaming at the local Galactic orbital velocity of the halo with a space density of ∼ 9 × 10 gm cm. As these objects pass through the Solar system, they perturb gravitationally, and thus very weakly, all nearby inertial masses. Making use of this, we propose an approach to the direct detection of dark matter at previously inaccessible intermediate ma...
متن کاملDiffraction properties of optical localized structures.
The propagation properties of transverse localized structures are studied experimentally and numerically, showing that their free-space behavior is determined by the features acquired during the nonlinear light-matter interaction at their origin. For a Kerr-like nonlinearity in the optical loop, localized structures show a focalization followed by the formation of a local minimum of the intensi...
متن کامل1 3 O ct 2 00 3 Distortion - free tight confinement and step - like decay of fs pulses in free space
A method of formation of the tightly confined distortion-free fs pulses with the step-like decreasing of intensity under the finite-length propagation in free space is described. Such pulses are formed by the Fresnel source of a high refraction-index waveguide. The source reproduces in free space a propagation-invariant (distortion-free) pulse confined by the waveguide. Converse to the case of ...
