electromagnetically-induced-transparency (EIT) medium at finite temperatures. Allowing for …

Stationary light pulses in cold thermal atomic clouds

JH Wu, M Artoni, GC La Rocca - Physical Review A—Atomic, Molecular, and …, 2010 - APS
Fourier-expanded Maxwell-Liouville equations are employed to study the light pulse
dynamics in atomic samples coherently driven by a standing-wave light field. Solutions are …

Matched optical vortices of slow light using a tripod coherently prepared scheme

HR Hamedi, IA Yu, E Paspalakis - Physical Review A, 2023 - APS
This paper explores the propagation of optical vortices of slow light inside a four-level tripod
atomic light-matter coupling system. Initially, the system is prepared in a coherent …

Controlled-phase Gate for Photons Based on Stationary Light

I Iakoupov, J Borregaard, AS Sørensen - Physical Review Letters, 2018 - APS
We propose a method to induce strong effective interactions between photons mediated by
an atomic ensemble. To achieve this, we use the so-called stationary light effect to enhance …
