It is this enhancement of the atom-light interaction that this thesis deals with, though in a system without a cavity. Instead, the presence of another nearby atom can take the place of the …

We present a preliminary experimental study of optimized slow and stored light pulses in Rb vapor cells. We study the efficiency of light storage as a function of pulse duration, storage time, …

In this thesis, we study the hydrodynamical properties of light propagating close to resonance in hot rubidium vapors. Whereas photons in air are not interacting with each other, the situation …

transparency (EIT), slow, and stored light in warm atomic Rb vapor, employing a variety of vapor cells with the aim of both better understanding and optimizing slow and stored light, and …

May 7, 2025 · We derive a new light propagation formalism which takes into account the non-zero overlap of the two modes. We verify the theory using weak-probe spectroscopy of the Rb D 2 …

Mar 1, 2007 · We present a preliminary experimental study of the dependence on optical depth of slow and stored light pulses in Rb vapor.

apter is divided into four sections. The first two sections deal with spatial control of light using atomic vapor. Section 3.1 presents the control of vortex array by the use of EIT media
