Resonance Fluorescence of an Atom Pair in an Optical Resonator

Andreas Neuzner

In this thesis, scattering of light from two single atoms into the quantized light mode of an optical resonator is studied experimentally. The atoms are spatially confined to discrete positions by a two-dimensional optical lattice and their positions are detected by single-site resolved imaging. Saturation of fluorescence for constructive interference and preferred emission of photon pairs for destructive interference of the partial fields scattered from the two atoms are found in quantitative agreement with a theoretical treatment.

Effect of light-assisted tunable interaction on the position response function of cold atoms

Anirban Misra, Urbashi Satpathi, Supurna Sinha +2 more

The position response of a particle subjected to a perturbation is of general interest in physics. We study the modification of the position response function of an ensemble of cold atoms in a magneto-optical trap (MOT) in the presence of tunable light-assisted interactions. We subject the cold atoms to an intense laser light tuned near the photoassociation (PA) resonance and observe the position response of the atoms subjected to a sudden displacement. Surprisingly, we observe that the entire cold atomic cloud undergoes collective oscillations. We use a generalized quantum Langevin approach to theoretically analyze the results of the experiments and find good agreement.
