Abstract

Using a model system, we demonstrate both experimentally and theoretically that coherent scattering of light can be robust in hot atomic vapors despite a significant Doppler effect. By operating in a linear regime of far-detuned light scattering, we also unveil the emergence of interference triggered by inelastic Stokes and anti-Stokes transitions involving the atomic hyperfine structure.

Can we observe weak localization of light in a hot atomic vapor

Nicolas Cherroret, M. Hemmerling, G. Labeyrie +3 more

We theoretically explore the possibility to detect weak localization of light in a hot atomic vapor, where one usually expects the fast thermal motion of the atoms to destroy any interference in multiple scattering. To this end, we compute the coherent backscattering peak, assuming high temperature and taking into account the quantum level structure of the atomic scatterers. It is found that the decoherence due to thermal motion can be partially counterbalanced by working at large laser detuning and using small atomic cells with an elongated geometry. Under these conditions, our estimates suggest that weak localization in a hot vapor should be within reach of experimental detection.

Interference of photons from independent hot atoms

Jaromír Mika, Stuti Joshi, Lukáš Lachman +2 more

The coherence of light from independent ensembles of elementary atomic emitters plays a paramount role in diverse areas of modern optics. We demonstrate the interference of photons scattered from independent ensembles of warm atoms in atomic vapor. It relies on the feasibility of the preservation of coherence of light scattered elastically in the forward and backward directions from Doppler-broadened atomic ensembles, such that photons with chaotic photon statistics from two opposite atomic velocity groups contribute to the same detection mode. While the random phase fluctuations of the scattered light caused by a large thermal motion prevent direct observability of the interference in the detected photon rate, the stable frequency difference between photons collected from scattering off counterpropagating laser beams provides strong periodic modulation of the photon coincidence rate with the period given by the detuning of the excitation laser from the atomic resonance. The presented interferometry represents a sensitive and robust methodology for Doppler-free optical atomic and molecular spectroscopy based on photon correlation measurements on scattered light.

Light Transport in Cold Atoms and Thermal Decoherence

G. Labeyrie, Dominique Delande, Robin Kaiser +1 more

We use the coherent backscattering interference effect to investigate experimentally and theoretically how coherent transport of light inside a cold atomic vapor is affected by the residual motion of atomic scatterers. As the temperature of the atomic cloud increases, the interference contrast decreases dramatically. This emphasizes the role of motion-induced decoherence for resonant scatterers even in the sub-Doppler regime of temperature. We derive analytical expressions for the corresponding coherence time.

Weak localization of light in hot atomic vapors

Nicolas Cherroret, M. Hemmerling, G. Labeyrie +3 more

According to conventional wisdom, the fast thermal motion of atoms in hot atomic vapor should destroy any measurable effects of coherent backscattering. The authors show that, with the right choice of laser detuning and cell geometry, the experimental detection of coherent backscattering in hot vapor may actually be within reach.

Analysis of electromagnetically induced transparency and slow light in a hot vapor of atoms undergoing collisions

Joyee Ghosh, Rupamanjari Ghosh, Fabienne Goldfarb +2 more

We present a detailed theoretical treatment of a three-level $\ensuremath{\Lambda}$ system in a hot atomic vapor interacting with a coupling and a probe field of arbitrary strengths, leading to electromagnetically induced transparency and slow light under the two-photon resonance condition. We take into account all the relevant decoherence processes including collisions. Velocity-changing collisions (VCCs) are modeled in the strong-collision limit effectively, which helps in achieving optical pumping by the coupling beam across the entire Doppler profile. The steady-state expressions for the atomic density-matrix elements are numerically evaluated to yield the experimentally measured response characteristics. The predictions, taking into account a dynamic rate of influx of atoms in the two lower levels of the $\ensuremath{\Lambda}$, are in excellent agreement with the reported experimental results for ${^{4}\text{H}\text{e}}^{\ensuremath{\ast}}$. The role played by the VCC parameter is seen to be distinct from that by the transit time or Raman coherence decay rate.

Temporal intensity correlation of light scattered by a hot atomic vapor

A. Dussaux, Thierry Passerat de Silans, William Guerin +4 more

We present temporal intensity correlation measurements of light scattered by a hot atomic vapor. Clear evidence of photon bunching is shown at very short time scales (nanoseconds) imposed by the Doppler broadening of the hot vapor. Moreover, we demonstrate that relevant information about the scattering process, such as the ratio of single to multiple scattering, can be deduced from the measured intensity correlation function. These measurements justify the interest in temporal intensity correlation to access nontrivial spectral features, with potential applications in astrophysics.
