Nonequilibrium patterns in open systems are ubiquitous in nature, with examples as diverse
as desert sand dunes, animal coat patterns such as zebra stripes, or geographic patterns in …

We show all-optical switching of an input infrared laser beam at 1310 nm by controlling the
photoinduced retinal isomerization to tune the resonances in a silica microsphere coated …

We report a new nonlinear optical process that occurs in a cloud of cold atoms at low-light-
levels when the incident optical fields simultaneously polarize, cool, and spatially-organize …

We demonstrate steady-state, mirrorless superradiance in a cold vapor pumped by weak
optical fields. Beyond a critical pump intensity of 1 mW/cm 2, the vapor spontaneously …

We observe a nonlinear optical process in a gas of cold atoms that simultaneously displays
the largest reported fifth-order nonlinear susceptibility χ (5)= 1.9× 10− 12 (m/V) 4 and high …

The strong coupling between optical resonance microcavity and matter excitations provides
a practical path for controlling light-matter interactions. However, conventional microcavity …

Cold atom setups are now commonly employed in simulations of condensed matter
phenomena. We present an approach to induce strong magnetic interactions between …

We present a detailed theoretical study of transverse exciton-polariton patterns in
semiconductor quantum well microcavities. These patterns are initiated by directional …

Over the past decade, spontaneously emerging patterns in the density of polaritons in
semiconductor microcavities were found to be a promising candidate for all-optical …

The study of transverse optical pattern formation has been studied extensively in nonlinear
optics, with a recent experimental interest in studying the phenomenon using cold atoms …
