Journal ArticleDOI
Electromagnetically induced transparency : Optics in coherent media
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors consider the atomic dynamics and the optical response of the medium to a continuous-wave laser and show how coherently prepared media can be used to improve frequency conversion in nonlinear optical mixing experiments.
Book ChapterDOI
Coherent Population Trapping in Laser Spectroscopy
TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe the coherent population trapping in laser spectroscopy and discuss the basic properties of an atomic system prepared with coherent population-trapping superposition of states.
Journal ArticleDOI
Efficient low-intensity optical phase conjugation based on coherent population trapping in sodium.
TL;DR: A theoretical model is presented that supports observations of optical phase-conjugate gain in sodium vapor by showing that coherent population trapping can write large-amplitude nonlinear-optical gratings at laser intensities well below those needed to saturate the optical transitions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Strong mechanical driving of a single electron spin
Arne Barfuss,Jean Teissier,Elke Neu,Andreas Nunnenkamp,Andreas Nunnenkamp,Patrick Maletinsky +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the manipulation of a single nitrogen-vacancy spin center is demonstrated by means of a mechanical resonator approach, and the results show that it is possible to manipulate a single spin center with a minimum number of spins.
Journal ArticleDOI
Coherent manipulations of atoms using laser light
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present basic concepts of quantum states, of laser radiation and of the Hilbert-space state vector that provides the theoretical portrait of probability amplitudes, the tools for quantifying quantum properties not only of individual atoms and molecules but also of artificial atoms and other quantum systems.

Book
Optical resonance and two-level atoms
L. Allen,Joseph H. Eberly +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, classical theory of resonance optics, the optical Bloch equations, two-level atoms in steady fields, pulse propagation experiments, saturation phenomena, quantum electrodynamics and spontaneous emission are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
An experimental method for the observation of r.f. transitions and laser beat resonances in oriented Na vapour
TL;DR: In this article, a method which allows a direct picture of phenomena involving line broadening, light shifts and many-photon transitions in the ground state of sodium atoms pumped by dye-laser is reported.
Journal ArticleDOI
Retardation in the resonant interaction of two identical atoms
Peter W. Milonni,P. L. Knight +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a simple improvement on the usual on-shell approximation (which in the single-atom case is part of the Weisskopf-Wigner approximation) yields new solutions for the various probability amplitudes in the form of infinite series involving all the retardation times.
Journal ArticleDOI
Population trapping and dispersion in a three-level system
P M Radmore,P L Knight +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the population dynamics and spectra of a three-level system driven by two applied fields of arbitrary amplitudes and detunings are examined using dressed-state techniques.
Journal ArticleDOI
Semiclassical formalism for the treatment of three-level systems
TL;DR: In this article, a generalised semiclassical formalism is developed for the treatment of resonant coherent interactions in three-level systems, and the equations of motion for the system are derived in the form of a torque equation, and two constants of the motion are identified.
