Abstract

We demonstrated that the TEM10mode of the cavity-QED microlaser shows the split-resonance lineshape. It is explained by the bipolar atom-cavity coupling that the two-level excited atoms experience while they transverse the cavity mode.

Realization of a bipolar atomic Šolc filter in the cavity-QED microlaser

Wontaek Seo, Hyun-Gue Hong, Moonjoo Lee +8 more

We report experimental realization of a rudimentary atomic \ifmmode \check{S}\else \v{S}\fi{}olc filter, recently proposed by Hong et al. [Opt. Express 17, 15455 (2009)]. It is realized by employing a bipolar atom-cavity coupling constant in the cavity-QED microlaser operating with a TEM${}_{10}$ mode in a strong coupling regime. The polarity flip in the coupling constant dramatically changes the photoemission probability of a two-level atom relative to unipolar coupling, resulting in multiple narrow emission bands in the detuning curve of the microlaser mean photon number. The observed resonance curves are explained well by a two-step, three-dimensional, geodesic-like motion of the Bloch vector in the semiclassical limit.

Spectrum of the Cavity-QED Microlaser: Strong Coupling Effects in the Frequency Pulling at Off Resonance

Hyun-Gue Hong, W. Seo, Younghoon Song +6 more

We report the first experimental observation of the cavity-QED microlaser spectrum, specifically the unconventional frequency pulling brought by a strong atom-cavity coupling at off resonance. The pulling is enhanced quadratically by the atom-cavity coupling to result in a sensitive response to the number of pumping atoms (2.1 kHz per atom maximally). Periodic variation of the pulling due to the coherent Rabi oscillation is also observed as the number of pumping atoms is increased across multiple thresholds.

Multiple thresholds and many-atom dynamics in the cavity QED microlaser

Christopher M. Fang-Yen, Chung‐Chieh Yu, Aljalal +4 more

Summary form only given. The cavity QED microlaser is a laser based on the ideal model of atoms undergoing well-defined interaction with a single mode of an optical cavity. It is the optical analogue of the micromaser. Due to the coherent nature of the atom-cavity interaction, the microlaser exhibits behavior foreign to conventional lasers.

Effects of coupled bichromatic atom-cavity interaction in the cavity-QED microlaser

Hyun-Gue Hong, Wontaek Seo, Moonjoo Lee +7 more

In the observation of multiple thresholds in the cavity-quantum electrodynamics microlaser there was deviation from the result predicted by uniform atom-cavity coupling theory, notably a frequency-pushing behavior. We analyze in the semiclassical limit the tilted injection of atoms, originally used to achieve a spatially uniform atom-cavity coupling, and show that the deviation originates from the interference between the induced dipole moments associated with two traveling-wave components of a standing-wave cavity mode. The criteria for sufficiently reduced interference and thus uniform atom-cavity interactions are derived in analytic considerations and verified by numerical calculation. Our analysis is well supported by experimental data.

Role of standing-wave mode structure in microlaser emission

Kyungwon An, Michael S. Feld

In the recently developed microlaser, a single two-level atom interacts with a single mode of the optical resonator to generate coherent radiation. The resonator mode is in the form of a standing wave. We present an analysis of the standing-wave features, based on an approximate solution of the fully quantized microlaser equations. The result explains the rapid increase in the observed signal when the average number of atoms in the cavity is of the order of 1.

Observation of multiple thresholds in the many-atom cavity QED microlaser

Christopher M. Fang-Yen, Chung‐Chieh Yu, S. Ha +4 more

We report the observation of multiple laser thresholds in the many-atom cavity QED microlaser. Traveling-wave coupling and a supersonic atom beam are used to create a well-defined atom-cavity interaction. Multiple thresholds are observed as jumps in photon number due to oscillatory gain. Although the number of intracavity atoms is large, up to $N\ensuremath{\sim}{10}^{3}$, the dynamics of the microlaser agree with a single-atom theory. This agreement is supported by quantum trajectory simulations of a many-atom microlaser and a semiclassical microlaser theory. We discuss the relation of the microlaser with the micromaser and conventional lasers.
