Abstract

We demonstrate experimentally and theoretically controlled storage and retrieval of the optical phase information. This scheme is a kind of new random phase encoding with 2nd order holographic storage.

Extracting the phase information from atomic memory by intensity correlation measurement

Jinxian Guo, Kai Zhang, L. Q. Chen +4 more

We demonstrate experimentally controlled storage and retrieval of the optical phase information in a higher-order interference scheme based on Raman process in (87)Rb atomic vapor cells. An interference pattern is observed in intensity correlation measurement between the write Stokes field and the delayed read Stokes field as the phase of the Raman write field is scanned. This result implies that the phase information of the Raman write field can be written into the atomic spin wave via Raman process in a high gain regime and subsequently read out via a spin-wave enhanced Raman process, thus achieving optical storage of phase information. This technique should find applications in optical phase image storage, holography and information processing.

Time-domain optical data storage by use of Raman coherent population trapping

Philip Hemmer, M. S. Shahriar, M. K. Kim +2 more

We experimentally demonstrate time-domain storage and retrieval of amplitude- and phase-encoded optical data, using Raman coherent population trapping, despite the loss of information about absolute optical phases that occurs as a result of the dissipative nature of the process. In this Raman optical storage process homogeneous decay of the optical coherence does not prevent interference between time-separated fields, thus relaxing the requirement for long-lived optical coherences.

Coherent storage of ghost images in hot atomic vapor

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

We demonstrate the storage and retrieval of ghost images in hot atomic vapor. Our experiment shows that the spatially multimode correlation, a second-order property of light, can indeed be preserved during the storage-retrieval process.

Atomic memory on the external degrees of freedom of an ensemble of two-level atoms

A theoretical and experimental analysis is developed for an atomic memory based on recoil-induced resonance. Control of such memories on external degrees of freedom is crucial to explore higher order nonlinearities for storage of information.

Retrieval of phase memory in two independent atomic ensembles by Raman process

Cheng-ling Bian, L. Q. Chen, Guo-Wan Zhang +2 more

In spontaneous Raman process in atomic cell at high gain, both the Stokes field and the accompanying collective atomic excitation (atomic spin wave) are coherent. We find that, due to the spontaneous nature of the process, the phases of the Stokes field and the atomic spin wave change randomly from one realization to another but are anti-correlated. The phases of the atomic ensembles are read out via another Raman process at a later time, thus realizing phase memory in atoms. The observation of phase correlation between the Stokes field and the collective atomic excitations is an important step towards macroscopic EPR-type entanglement of continuous variables between light and atoms.

Slowing and Storing Images in Atomic Vapor

We study slowing and storage of three-dimensional light fields in atomic vapor. We demonstrate a technique which reduces the effect of diffusion on the storage fidelity and prove that the phase pattern was also maintained.
