As a light beam is produced by an amplification of modes of the zero point field in its source, this field cannot be distinguished; consequently a nonlinear optical effect is a function of the total field. However, we generally prefer to…

Pulse propagation is considered in an inhomogeneously broadened medium of three-level atoms in a V-configuration, dressed by a counter-propagating pump pulse. A significant signal slowdown is demonstrated in this of the three frequency…

We calculate the bi-photon state generated by spontaneous parametric down conversion in a thin crystal and under collinear phase matching conditions using a pump consisting of any superposition of Laguerre-Gauss modes. The result has no…

The extreme hypothesis that essentially all types of ultrarelativistic outflow -- specifically AGN jets, pulsar wind nebulae and GRB --are electromagnetic, rather than gas dynamical, phenomena is considered. Electromagnetic flows are…

We present a vectorial analysis of the behavior of the electromagnetic field in the presence of boundaries with parabolic geometry. The relevance of the use of symmetries to find explicit closed expressions for the electromagnetic fields is…

We develop a quantum field theory for parametrically pumped polaritons using Keldysh Green's function techniques. By considering the mean-field and Gaussian fluctuations, we find that the low energy physics of the highly non-equilibrium…

In this note we investigate a new type of non-commutative field theory based on a constant skew-symmetric three-form parameter. In 3+1 dimensions such a three-form parameter can be viewed as a short-distance regulator which nevertheless…

Third order parametric down-conversion describes a class of nonlinear processes in which a pump photon can be down-converted into triplets of photons. It has been identified as a source of non-classical light, with capabilities beyond those…

We analyze the process of simultaneous photon pair generation and quantum walks realized by spontaneous parametric down conversion of a pump beam in a quadratic nonlinear waveguide array. We demonstrate that this flexible platform allows…

A cascade of two-level superconducting artificial atoms -- a source and a probe -- strongly coupled to a semi-infinite waveguide is a promising tool for observing nontrivial phenomena in quantum nonlinear optics. The probe atom can scatter…

Null points in synthetically tunable molecular aggregates are predicted to generate flat energy bands analogous to those known in strongly correlated condensed-matter physics. For chemistry, null points provide a powerful design principle…

The state of the signal-idler photon pair of spontaneous parametric down conversion(SPDC) is a typical nonlocal entangled pure state with zero entropy. The precise correlation of the subsystems is completely described by the state. However,…

A number of physical processes show some form of bifurcation or periodic splintering of a single distribution into two new ones. Recently, it has been noted that cavity searches for interactions between photons and exotic fields may also…

This paper attempts a probe into negative refraction without absorption by means of an incoherent pump field and a strong coherent field coupling the dense four-level atomic system.With the application of the incoherent pump field to…

Spontaneous Parametric Down-Conversion (SPDC), also known as parametric fluorescence, parametric noise, parametric scattering and all various combinations of the abbreviation SPDC, is a non-linear optical process where a photon…

We present a study of 3D electromagnetic field zeros, uncovering their remarkable characteristic features and propose a classifying framework. These are a special case of general dark spots in optical fields, which sculpt light's spatial…

The need for a cutoff in the Lamb shift calculation suggests that high-energy virtual photons do not interact with real particles. In this paper, we assume that the creation of virtual photons follows a canonical distribution. As a result,…

This communication describes the observation of a new type of dark spontaneous-force optical trap (dark SPOT) obtained without the use of a mask blocking the central part of the repumper laser beam. We observe that loading a magneto-optical…

We report that the submerged microbubbles are an efficient source of diffuse radiance and may contribute to a rapid transition to the diffuse asymptotic regime. In this asymptotic regime an average cosine is easily predictable and…

This paper considers the problem of modeling the light polarization that emerges from an astrophysical plasma composed of atoms whose excitation state is significantly influenced by the anisotropy of the incident radiation field. In…
