Coherent signal amplification of refractive index spectrum in rubidium vapor using phase-shifting interferometry

Chih-Yuan Liu, Dian-Jiun Han

We have experimentally demonstrated a general method to perform high-precision refractive index spectrum measurement using phase-shifting interferometry in a phase-tunable Mach–Zehnder interferometer. We observed coherent amplification on the refractive spectrum, across the Lamb dips of ground hyperfine states in a Doppler-broadened Rb87 vapor. Most importantly, the spectrum still has a large signal-to-noise ratio when the probe power is in the dark light level under which the method using a single interferogram fails. This experimental scheme is efficient for refractive spectrum measurements and could be extended for 2D phase imaging. It provides many potential applications for optical phase measurements in linear, nonlinear, and quantum optics.

Dynamics and spatial order of cold cesium atoms in a periodic optical potential

Philippe Verkerk, Brahim Lounis, Ch Salomon +3 more

The spatial distribution and the dynamics of Cs atoms in a 1D optical molasses are probed by measuring the absorption (or amplification) spectrum of a weak laser beam. Narrow (35--50 kHz) Raman lines give access for the first time to the frequency and to the damping of the atom's oscillation in the potential wells associated with light shifts. A narrower (8 kHz) Rayleigh resonance demonstrates the existence of a large-scale spatial order of the atoms, presenting some analogy with an antiferromagnetic medium.

Dressed-State Amplification by a Single Superconducting Qubit

G. Oelsner, P. Macha, O. V. Astafiev +6 more

We demonstrate amplification of a microwave signal by a strongly driven two-level system in a coplanar waveguide resonator. The effect, similar to the dressed-state lasing known from quantum optics, is observed with a single quantum system formed by a persistent current (flux) qubit. The transmission through the resonator is enhanced when the Rabi frequency of the driven qubit is tuned into resonance with one of the resonator modes. Amplification as well as linewidth narrowing of a weak probe signal has been observed. The stimulated emission in the resonator has been studied by measuring the emission spectrum. We analyzed our system and found an excellent agreement between the experimental results and the theoretical predictions obtained in the dressed-state model.
