Optical forces are involved in many physical processes and are used routinely in the
laboratory for manipulating and cooling matter, from the micro down to the quantum scales. It …

Optical nanofiber cavity research has mainly focused on the fundamental mode. Here, a
Fabry–Pérot fiber cavity with an optical nanofiber supporting the higher-order modes (TE 01 …

When an emitter ensemble interacts with the electromagnetic field, dipole-dipole interactions
are induced between the emitters. The magnitude and shape of these interactions are fully …

Anisotropic nanophotonic structures can couple the levels of a quantum emitter through the
quantum interference effect. In this paper we study the coupling of quantum emitter excited …

We study the Casimir-Polder potential of a multilevel alkali-metal atom near an optical
nanofiber. We calculate the mean potential of the atom in a fine-structure state. We perform …

The photonic local density of states (PLDOS) determines the light-matter interaction strength
in nanophotonic devices. For standard dielectric devices, the PLDOS is fundamentally …

Recently developed field of all-dielectric nanophotonics allowed for the observation of the
Kerker effect, ie, unidirectional scattering of electromagnetic radiation by a dielectric particle …

We calculate analytically and numerically the axial orbital and spin torques of guided light
on a two-level atom near an optical nanofiber. We show that the generation of these torques …

Doppler cooling of 88 Sr atoms is studied in the presence of off-resonant red-detuned
fluctuating laser fields. Using a semi-classical approach, we show that the relevant physical …

We report on an experimental test of the spin selection rule for two-photon transitions in
atoms. In particular, we demonstrate that the $5 S_ {1/2}\to 6S_ {1/2} $ transition rate in a …
