Nonlinear Optics at the Few Photon Level

Published Jan 1, 2013• 0 citations

Abstract

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.

Periodic structures with resonant dopants allow giantly enhanced cross-coupling between ultraweak pulses within photonic band gaps, subject to self-induced or electromagnetically– induced transparency. These features may lead to novel quantum optical applications.
