Abstract

We demonstrate four wave mixing and electromagnetically induced transparency mediated storage of multimode transverse images carried by optical pulses in hot atomic Rubidium vapor and show that the images retrieved are robust to diffusion.

Storage and Retrieval of Multimode Transverse Images in Hot Atomic Rubidium Vapor

We report on the experimental realization of the storage of images in a hot vapor of Rubidium atoms. The images are stored in and retrieved from the long-lived ground state atomic coherences. We show that an image impressed onto a 500 ns pulse can be stored and retrieved up to 30 mus later. The image storage is made robust to diffusion by storing the Fourier transform of the image.

Storage and retrieval of ghost images in hot atomic vapor

Young‐Wook Cho, Joo-Eon Oh, Yoon-Ho Kim

Ghost imaging is an imaging technique in which the image of an object is revealed only in the correlation measurement between two beams of light, whereas the individual measurements contain no imaging information. Here, we experimentally demonstrate storage and retrieval of ghost images in hot atomic rubidium vapor. Since ghost imaging requires (quantum or classical) multimode spatial correlation between two beams of light, our experiment shows that the spatially multimode correlation, a second-order correlation property of light, can indeed be preserved during the storage-retrieval process. Our work, thus, opens up new possibilities for quantum and classical two-photon imaging, all-optical image processing, and quantum communication.
