Abstract:
This study explored the impact of atmospheric turbulence on partially coherent light propagation. Atmospheric turbulence causes random modulation of the intensity and phase of light, resulting in a speckle pattern in the far field. This study focused on partially coherent Gaussian Schell model beams and derived an analytical expression of the cross-spectral density function for their transmission through atmospheric turbulence, based on the generalized Huygens–Fresnel principle and the Tatarski spectrum model. Numerical simulations were used to investigate the effects of the source parameters

Abstract:
Partially coherent optical vortices have been applicated widely to reduce the influence of atmospheric turbulence, especially for free-space optical (FSO) communication. Furthermore, the beam array is an effective way to increase the power of the light source, and can increase the propagation distance of the FSO communication system. Herein, we innovatively report evolution properties of the radial phased-locked partially coherent vortex (RPLPCV) beam array in non-Kolmogorov turbulence. The analytical expressions for the cross-spectral density and the average intensity of an RPLPCV beam array

Abstract:
The combination of electromagnetically induced transparency with the nonlinear interaction between Rydberg atoms provides an effective interaction between photons. In this Letter, we investigate the storage of optical pulses as collective Rydberg atomic excitations in a cold atomic ensemble. By measuring the dynamics of the stored Rydberg polaritons, we experimentally demonstrate that storing a probe pulse as Rydberg polaritons strongly enhances the Rydberg mediated interaction compared to the slow propagation case. We show that the process is characterized by two time scales. At short storage

Abstract:
Light propagation in a medium is sensitively dependent on the shape and intensity of the optical pulse as well as on the electronic and vibrational structure of the basic molecular units. We review in this paper the results of systematic studies of this problem for isotropic media. Our theoretical approach—the quantum mechanical–electrodynamical (QMED) approach—is based on a quantum mechanical account of the many-level electron-nuclear medium coupled to a numerical solution of the density matrix and Maxwell's equations. This allows us to accommodate a variety of nonlinear effects which accompl

Abstract We investigate the propagation of a normally incident squeezed coherent state of light through dispersive non-Hermitian optical bilayers, particularly at a frequency that the bilayers hold parity-time (𝒫𝒯) symmetry. To check the realization of 𝒫𝒯-symmetry in quantum optics, we reveal how dispersion and loss/gain-induced noises and thermal effects in such bilayers can affect quantum features of the incident light, such as squeezing and sub-Poissonian statistics. The numerical results show thermally induced noise at room temperature has an insignificant effect on the propagation propert

Strong coherence in quasi-resonant laser driven system interferes with effective relaxations, resulting in behaviors like, coherent population trapping and Electromagnetically induced transparency.

The interaction of atoms with intense laser radiation leads to the generation of high-order harmonics of the laser field. In the time domain, this corresponds to a train of pulses in the extreme ultraviolet range and with attosecond duration.

The attosecond time scale is that of the electron motion in atoms and molecules. Attosecond light pulses are used to study, for example, the dynamics of atomic

Abstract:
Abstract A century ago Einstein introduced the notion of the linear momentum of a photon, h k, and analyzed its transfer to an atom (and back) in the establishment of thermodynamic equilibrium between black-body radiation and matter. In addition to a linear momentum, the photon also possesses an angular momentum, ħ, directed parallel (or antiparallel) to its propagation direction (the OZ axis in Fig. 4.1), depending on its polarization direction (left- or right-handed). This angular momentum is due to the spin of the photon, equal to 1. Half a century later, Kastler (1950) considered the use o

Remarkable effects are predicted in a coherently prepared atomic medium. These include gain without inversion and high index of refraction with zero absorption.1 Atomic samarium in a magnetic field is an attractive system for the experimental realization of these effects. We have modeled the behavior of this system for a strong, coherence-inducing pump and a weak probe. We calculate probe eigenpolarizations and the associated susceptibilities as a function of probe frequency using realistic values for oscillator strengths, damping rates, and number density but not including Doppler broadening.

Weak path-integrated turbulence theory predicts a very high correlation between the scintillations at these two wavelengths. We observed that the correlations were lower than this prediction in strong path-integrated turbulence. The weak turbulence theory consists of a double integral that sum

Our formulation is based on the analysis of Agrawal et al.,2 which applies to graded-index fibers whose index of refraction changes quadratically as a function of the radial distance from the core center.

The superradiant response of a collection of three-level atoms to a train of pump pulses has been investigated numerically.

The atoms are considered to be homogeneously broadened, and all relaxation rates are taken to be equal. The period of the pump pulse train is of the order of the atomic relaxation time, and the width of individual pulses is <4% of the period. Coherence remaining from previous pulses results in qualitative changes in the superradiant pulse train as
