Collective Light-matter Interactions via Emergent Order in Cold Atoms
Collective Light-matter Interactions via Emergent Order in Cold Atoms

... The collective instability therefore corresponds to the situation where the cold vapor transitions spontaneously from a spatially-homogeneous state to an ordered one. This emergent organization leads to the simultaneous emission of new optical fields in a process that one can interpret either in ter ...

By increasing the intensity of the circularly polarized pumping beam, alkali-metal atoms are optically pumped into a state of static polarization, and trapped into the hyperfine end-state. Spin exchange between alkali-metal atoms has min ...

History of optics

Optics began with the development of lenses by the ancient Egyptians and Mesopotamians, followed by theories on light and vision developed by ancient Greek philosophers, and the development of geometrical optics in the Greco-Roman world. The word optics is derived from the Greek term τα ὀπτικά which refers to matters of vision. Optics was significantly reformed by the developments in the medieval Islamic world, such as the beginnings of physical and physiological optics, and then significantly advanced in early modern Europe, where diffractive optics began. These earlier studies on optics are now known as ""classical optics"". The term ""modern optics"" refers to areas of optical research that largely developed in the 20th century, such as wave optics and quantum optics.
