Abstract

We show how an atom can couple light to a nanobody efficiently. We demonstrate that a significant fraction of emission from the atom can be channeled into guided modes of a nanofiber.

We present our results on using ultra-high transmission optical nanofibers to couple cold atoms to the evanescent field a guided electromagnetic mode, and realizing infinite-range atom-atom interactions mediated by the guided field.

We report the single-photon-level storage of light tightly guided in an optical nanofiber. Our setup is based on electromagnetically induced transparency for atoms interacting with the evanescent field surrounding the nanofiber.

We present a novel technique for measuring the characteristics of a cloud of cold atoms by monitoring the spontaneous emission coupled into the guided mode of a nanofiber. We show that the fiber is very sensitive to the atoms close to its surface.

Optical Nanofiber Technologies for Single Photon Generation

K. Hakuta

Optical nanofiber technologies are discussed for both bare nanofibers and cavity created nanofibers. Emphasis is on the single-photon channeling into the fiber guided modes with a hybrid system of an optical-nanofiber and a single quantum-emitter.

Spontaneous emission of a cesium atom near a nanofiber: Efficient coupling of light to guided modes

Fam Le Kien, Subhasish Dutta Gupta, V. I. Balykin +1 more

We study the spontaneous emission of a cesium atom in the vicinity of a subwavelength-diameter fiber. We show that the confinement of the guided modes and the degeneracy of the excited and ground states substantially affect the spontaneous emission process. We demonstrate that different magnetic sublevels have different decay rates. When the fiber radius is about $200\phantom{\rule{0.3em}{0ex}}\mathrm{nm}$, a significant fraction (up to 28%) of spontaneous emission by the atom can be channeled into guided modes. Our results may find applications for developing nanoprobes for atoms and efficient couplers for subwavelength-diameter fibers.
