We consider the fundamental problem of high temperature phase transitions in the system of high density two-level atoms off-resonantly interacting with a pump field in the presence of optical collisions (OCs) and placed in the cavity. OCs…
We consider the motion of the end mirror of a cavity in whose standing wave mode pattern atoms are trapped. The atoms and the light field strongly couple to each other because the atoms form a distributed Bragg mirror with a reflectivity…
Cavity-mediated cooling of the center--of--mass motion of a transversally, coherently pumped atom along the axis of a high--Q cavity is studied. The internal dynamics of the atomic dipole strongly coupled to the cavity field is treated by a…
Aging is a hallmark of disordered materials such as glasses, plastics, and pharmaceuticals, where it often limits long-term stability and performance. In practice, aging is controlled through global parameters like temperature or pressure,…
We obtain optical instabilities in all-optical bistable systems arising from competing cooperative pathways at low input light levels. In particular for three-level atomic systems in the lambda and V configuration interacting with two…
We study, numerically and experimentally, the momentum distribution of atoms cooled in optical lattices. Using semi-classical simulations, we show that this distribution is bimodal, made up of a central feature corresponding to "cold",…
When placing an ultracold atomic gas inside a cavity, the light-matter coupling is enhanced and nonlinear atomic dynamics are generated, offering a promising platform for quantum simulation of models with short- and long-range interactions.…
The propagation of a probe field in an N-type four level cold atomic system is investigated under the influence of multiple coherent fields. Coherent control of quantum interference enables switching of the probe field between transparency…
This work models the propagation of an optical pulse in a 4-level atomic system in the electromagnetic induced transparency regime. By demonstrating that linear and nonlinear optical properties can be externally controlled and tailored by a…
Nonlinear optical processes are vital for fields including telecommunications, signal processing, data storage, spectroscopy, sensing, and imaging. As an independent research area, nonlinear optics began with the invention of the laser,…
Sessile droplets of a ferroelectric nematic liquid crystalline material were exposed to surface electric fields produced by pyroelectric and photogalvanic (photovoltaic) effects in X-cut iron-doped lithium niobate crystals. The resulting…
Bloch equations for the atomic population and the polarization/coherence and the equation of motion for the photon number in a laser are solved in steady state as a function of the pump rate. Two level atom and two modes of three levels…
We consider the motion of the end mirror of a cavity inside which a two-level atom trapped. The fast vibrating mirror induces nonlinear couplings between the cavity field and the atom. We analyze this optical effect by showing the…
Optical trapping, also known as optical tweezing or optical levitation, is a technique that uses highly focused laser beams to manipulate micro- and nanoscopic particles. In optical traps driven by high-energy pulses, material non-linearity…
Cavity optomechanical systems enable fine manipulation of nanomechanical degrees of freedom with light, adding operational functionality and impacting their appeal in photonic technologies. We show that distinct mechanical modes can be…
This paper has been temporarily withdrawn. Highly nonlinear dependences of 4He 2^3S - 2^3P lines on pressure were observed in vapor cell saturation spectroscopy. Line shifts agree with those expected from light-pressure-induced perturbation…
Cycling processes are important in many areas of physics ranging from lasers to topological insulators, often offering surprising insights into dynamical and structural aspects of the respective system. Here we report on a quantum-nonlinear…
