The authors review the history, current status, physical mechanisms, experimental methods,
and applications of nonlinear magneto-optical effects in atomic vapors. They begin by …

This book is addressed at upper-level undergraduate and graduate students involved in
research in atomic, molecular, and optical Physics. It will also be useful to researchers …

Light storage, the controlled and reversible mapping of photons onto long-lived states of
matter, enables memory capability in optical quantum networks. Prominent storage media …

Nuclear spins of noble-gas atoms are exceptionally isolated from the environment and can
maintain their quantum properties for hours at room temperature. Here we develop a …

We report the generation of optical squeezed vacuum states by means of polarization self-
rotation in rubidium vapor following a proposal by Matsko et al.[Phys. Rev. A 66, 043815 …

When linearly polarized light propagates through a medium in which elliptically polarized
light would undergo self-rotation, squeezed vacuum can appear in the orthogonal …

Dynamic nonlinear magneto-optical-rotation signals with frequency-and amplitude-
modulated laser light have been observed and investigated with a spherical glass cell of 3 …

The light output of the 324 CsI (Tl) scintillators of INDRA has been measured over large
ranges in energy: 1–80 AMeV and in atomic number of incident ions: Z= 1–60. An analytical …

We observed squeezed vacuum light at 795 nm in Rb87 vapor via resonant polarization self-
rotation and report noise sidebands suppression of≈ 1dB below shot-noise level spanning …

We have studied relative-intensity fluctuations for a variable set of orthogonal elliptic
polarization components of a linearly polarized laser beam traversing a resonant 87 Rb …
