Competition between the modulation instability and stimulated Brillouin scattering in a broadband slow light device
(Journal of Optics, 2010-10-01)We observe competition between the modulation instability (MI) and stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) in a 9.2 GHz broadband SBS slow light device, in which a standard 20 km long single-mode LEAF fibre is used as the ... -
Controllable ultrabroadband slow light in a warm rubidium vapor
(Journal of the Optical Society of America B: Optical Physics, 2011-01-01)We study ultrabroadband slow light in a warm rubidium vapor cell. By working between the D1 and D2 transitions, we find a several-nanometer window centered at 788:4nm in which the group index is highly uniform and the absorption ... -
Enhancing light-atom interactions via atomic bunching
(Physical Review A - Atomic, Molecular, and Optical Physics, 2014-07-11)There is a broad interest in enhancing the strength of light-atom interactions to the point where injecting a single photon induces a nonlinear material response. Here we show theoretically that sub-Doppler-cooled two-level ... -
Information-theoretic analysis of a stimulated-Brillouin-scattering-based slow-light system.
(Appl Opt, 2011-11-10)We use an information-theoretic method developed by Neifeld and Lee [J. Opt. Soc. Am. A 25, C31 (2008)] to analyze the performance of a slow-light system. Slow-light is realized in this system via stimulated Brillouin scattering ... -

Pulse-train solutions and excitability in an optoelectronic oscillator
(EPL, 2011-11-01)We study an optoelectronic time-delay oscillator with bandpass filtering for different values of the filter bandwidth. Our experiments show novel pulse-train solutions with pulse widths that can be controlled over ... -
Strongly correlated photons generated by coupling a three- or four-level system to a waveguide
(Physical Review A - Atomic, Molecular, and Optical Physics, 2012-04-19)We study the generation of strongly correlated photons by coupling an atom to photonic quantum fields in a one-dimensional waveguide. Specifically, we consider a three-level or four-level system for the atom. Photon-photon ... -
Waveguide QED: Many-body bound-state effects in coherent and Fock-state scattering from a two-level system
(Physical Review A - Atomic, Molecular, and Optical Physics, 2010-12-14)Strong coupling between a two-level system (TLS) and bosonic modes produces dramatic quantum optics effects. We consider a one-dimensional continuum of bosons coupled to a single localized TLS, a system which may be realized ...
