The spectroscopy of hot atomic vapours is a hot topic. Many of the work-horse techniques of
contemporary atomic physics were first demonstrated in hot vapours. Alkali-metal atomic …

An atom in front of a surface is one of the simplest and fundamental problem in physics. Yet,
it allows testing quantum electrodynamics, while providing potential platforms and interfaces …

We present an experimental measurement of the cooperative Lamb shift and the Lorentz
shift using a nanothickness atomic vapor layer with tunable thickness and atomic density …

The possibility of combining atomic and plasmonic resonances opens new avenues for
tailoring the spectral properties of materials. Following the rapid progress in the field of …

Miniaturizing and integrating atomic vapor cells is widely investigated for the purposes of
fundamental measurements and technological applications such as quantum sensing …

In recent years, there has been marked increase in research aimed to introduce alkali
vapours into guided-wave configurations. Owing to the significant reduction in device …

We have investigated electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) in the spectrum of
selective reflection at the interface between Rb atomic vapor and a dielectric nanocell …

Atom-light interactions in micro-and nanoscale systems hold great promise for alternative
technologies based on integrated emitters and optical modes. We present the design …

We have studied the peculiarities of selective reflection from an Rb vapor cell with a
thickness L< 70 nm, which is smaller than the length scale of evanescent fields λ/2π and …

We present the first direct measurements of Casimir-Polder forces between solid surfaces
and atomic gases in the transition regime between the electrostatic short-distance and the …
