Cavity nonlinear optics with a cold atom ensemble on an atom chip : all-optical latching, modulation, and amplification
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- I present the setup, the procedure, and the result of the experiment in which I probed nonlinear optical phenomena at very low optical power (femtojoule energy scales) in a multi-atom cavity quantum electrodynamical (cavity QED) system. I also explain the semiclassical model of this system in detail that explicitly treats heterogeneous coupling of atoms to the cavity mode, which I use to analyze the experimental data presented in this thesis. The nonlinear behaviors I demonstrated can be exploited in the design of all-optical memory, modulation, and signal amplification devices. These results highlight the interest of cavity QED systems for ultra-low power photonic signal processing as well as for fundamental studies of mesoscopic nonlinear dynamics.
