Nonlinear Optics at the Few-Photon Level

Published Jan 1, 2013• 0 citations

Abstract

Through use of Rb-filled photonic crystal fibers, we demonstrate intensity modulation and cross-phase modulation at the few photon level in a single pass without the use of a cavity. Such a system can be applied to quantum information applications.

Nonlinear Optics at the Few Photon Level

Alexander L. Gaeta

Through use of Rubidium-filled photonic band-gap fibers, nonlinear optics at the few-photon level is achieved through either cross-phase or cross-absorption modulation. This indicates that our system can be applied to weak-nonlinearity based quantum computing.
