Superradiance in a large and dilute cloud of cold atoms in the linear-optics regime

MO Araújo, I Krešić, R Kaiser, W Guerin - Physical review letters, 2016 - APS
Superradiance has been extensively studied in the 1970s and 1980s in the regime of
superfluorescence, where a large number of atoms are initially excited. Cooperative …

Superradiance on the millihertz linewidth strontium clock transition

MA Norcia, MN Winchester, JRK Cline… - Science advances, 2016 - science.org
Laser frequency noise contributes a significant limitation to today's best atomic clocks. A
proposed solution to this problem is to create a superradiant laser using an optical clock …

Storing light with subradiant correlations in arrays of atoms

G Facchinetti, SD Jenkins, J Ruostekoski - Physical review letters, 2016 - APS
We show how strong light-mediated resonant dipole-dipole interactions between atoms can
be utilized in a control and storage of light. The method is based on a high-fidelity …

Collective atomic scattering and motional effects in a dense coherent medium

SL Bromley, B Zhu, M Bishof, X Zhang… - Nature …, 2016 - nature.com
We investigate collective emission from coherently driven ultracold 88Sr atoms. We perform
two sets of experiments using a strong and weak transition that are insensitive and sensitive …

Collective radiative dynamics of an ensemble of cold atoms coupled to an optical waveguide

R Pennetta, M Blaha, A Johnson, D Lechner… - Physical Review Letters, 2022 - APS
We experimentally and theoretically investigate collective radiative effects in an ensemble of
cold atoms coupled to a single-mode optical nanofiber. Our analysis unveils the microscopic …

Light interacting with atomic ensembles: collective, cooperative and mesoscopic effects

W Guerin, MT Rouabah, R Kaiser - Journal of Modern Optics, 2017 - Taylor & Francis
Cooperative scattering has been the subject of intense research in the last years. In this
article, we discuss the concept of cooperative scattering from a broad perspective. We briefly …

Coherent scattering of near-resonant light by a dense microscopic cold atomic cloud

S Jennewein, M Besbes, NJ Schilder, SD Jenkins… - Physical review …, 2016 - APS
We measure the coherent scattering of light by a cloud of laser-cooled atoms with a size
comparable to the wavelength of light. By interfering a laser beam tuned near an atomic …

Topological properties of a dense atomic lattice gas

RJ Bettles, J Minář, CS Adams, I Lesanovsky, B Olmos - Physical Review A, 2017 - APS
We investigate the existence of topological phases in a dense two-dimensional atomic
lattice gas. The coupling of the atoms to the radiation field gives rise to dissipation and a …

Superatom picture of collective nonclassical light emission and dipole blockade in atom arrays

LA Williamson, MO Borgh, J Ruostekoski - Physical review letters, 2020 - APS
We show that two-time, second-order correlations of scattered photons from planar arrays
and chains of atoms display nonclassical features that can be described by a superatom …

Collective resonance fluorescence in small and dense atom clouds: Comparison between theory and experiment

SD Jenkins, J Ruostekoski, J Javanainen, S Jennewein… - Physical Review A, 2016 - APS
We study the emergence of a collective optical response of a cold and dense Rb 87 atomic
cloud to a near-resonant low-intensity light when the atom number is gradually increased …
