In this paper we develop a microscopic analysis of the light scattering on a periodic two-level atomic array coupled to an optical nanofiber. We extend the scattering matrix approach for two-level system interaction with nanofiber…

We suggest that atoms undergoing Bragg deflection from a cavity field introduce entanglement between their external degrees of freedom. The atoms interact with an electromagnetic cavity field which is far detuned from atomic transition…

The coupling of atomic arrays and one-dimensional subwavelength waveguides gives rise to in- teresting photon transport properties, such as recent experimental demonstrations of large Bragg reflection and paves the way for a variety of…

Although crystals are usually quite stable, they are sensitive to a disordered environment: even an infinitesimal amount of impurities can lead to the destruction of the crystalline order. The resulting state of matter has been a…

When an X-ray area detector based on a single crystalline material, for instance, a state of the art hybrid pixel detector, is illuminated from a point source by monochromatic radiation, a pattern of lines appears which overlays the…

We study light scattering by a hedgehog-like and linear disclination topological defects in a nematic liquid crystal by a metric approach. Light propagating near such defects feels an effective metric equivalent to the spatial part of the…

In this theoretical study, the author firstly discusses the wave interference of Bragg diffraction inside 3D crystal, followed by quantum mechanical interpretation on the diffraction process, and proves that the interference fringe between…

We report on theoretical and numerical study of propagation of atomic beams crossing a detuned standing-wave laser beam in the geometric optics limit. The interplay between external and internal atomic degrees of freedom is used to…

The possibility is considered for the formation in optical lattices of a heterogeneous state characterized by a spontaneous mesoscopic separation of the system into the spatial regions with different atomic densities. It is shown that such…

We experimentally characterize the positions of the diffraction maxima of a phase grating on a screen, for laser light at oblique incidence (so-called off-plane diffraction or conical diffraction). We discuss the general case of off-plane…

Light transmission or diffraction from different quantum phases of cold atoms in an optical lattice has recently come up as a useful tool to probe such ultra cold atomic systems. The periodic nature of the optical lattice potential closely…

Theory of laser-assisted photoemission from solids is developed for a numerically exactly solvable model with full inclusion of band structure effects. The strong lattice scattering in the vicinity of band gaps leads to a distortion and a…

We present a method to determine the strain tensor and local lattice rotation with Dark Field X-ray Microscopy. Using a set of at least 3 non-coplanar, symmetry-equivalent Bragg reflections, the illuminated volume of the sample can be kept…

We show that discotics, lying deep in the columnar phase, can exhibit an x-ray scattering pattern which mimics that of a somewhat unusual smectic liquid crystal. This exotic, new glassy phase of columnar liquid crystals, which we call a…

We study a system of ultra-cold atoms possessing long range interaction (e.g. dipole-dipole interaction) in a one dimensional optical lattice in the presence of a confining harmonic trap. We have shown that for large enough on-site and…

Bloch oscillations (BO) in complex lattices with PT symmetry are theoretically investigated with specific reference to optical BO in photonic lattices with gain/loss regions. Novel dynamical phenomena with no counterpart in ordinary…

We consider the dynamics of a movable mirror (cantilever) of a cavity coupled through radiation pressure to the light scattered from ultracold atoms in an optical lattice. Scattering from different atomic quantum states creates different…

We study the dynamics of Bose-Einstein condensates in an optical lattice and harmonic trap. The condensates are set in motion by displacing the trap and initially follow simple semiclassical paths, shaped by the lowest energy band. Above a…

Louis deBroglie's connection between momentum and spatial-frequency vectors is perhaps most viscerally-experienced via the real-time access that electron-diffraction provides to transverse slices of a nano-crystal's reciprocal-lattice. The…

The time-dependence of the Bragg diffraction by one-dimensional photonic crystals and its influence on the short pulse reflection are studied in the framework of the coupled- wave theory. The indicial response of the photonic crystal is…
