Abstract

We report a theoretical interpretation of an optical memory based on Coherent Population Oscillation (CPO). We introduce a new quantity superposition of light and matter that propagates with a controlled group velocity.

We report the experimental observation of Coherent Population Oscillation (CPO) based light storage in metastable helium at room temperature. This light storage technique has been shown to be phase preserving.

Coherent Population Oscillation-Based Light Storage

Pascal Neveu, Marie-Aude Maynard, Romain Bouchez +5 more

We theoretically study the propagation and storage of a classical field in a Λ-type atomic medium using coherent population oscillations (CPOs). We show that the propagation eigenmodes strongly relate to the different CPO modes of the system. Light storage in such modes is discussed by introducing a "populariton" quantity, a mixture of populations and field, by analogy to the dark state polariton used in the context of electromagnetically induced transparency light storage protocol. As experimentally shown, this memory relies on populations and is then-by contrast with usual Raman coherence optical storage protocols-robust to dephasing effects.

Spatial Optical Memory Based on Coherent Population Oscillations

We show that a system characterized by long-lived coherent population oscillations (CPO), such as a two-level system that decays via a shelving state, can be used to construct a spatial optical memory.

Coherent Population Oscillation-Based Light Storage

We study the propagation and storage of light using coherent population oscillations. We introduce a “populariton” quantity, mixture of populations and field, analogous to the Dark State Polariton put forward in electromagnetically induced transparency-based protocol.

Why Do Coherent Population Oscillations (CPOs) Lead to Slow Light When the Laser Linewidth Exceeds the Width of the CPO Transparency Window?

Giovanni Piredda, Robert W. Boyd

We derive coherent population oscillations (CPO) from the rate equations, showing that it is possible to slow down light using CPO even if the laser linewidth exceeds the width of the CPO transparency window.
