Fast, Optically Controlled Kerr Phase Shifter for Digital Signal Processing

April 18, 2013
Author(s)
Runbing Li, Lu Deng, Edward W. Hagley, Joshua Bienfang, Zachary H. Levine, Marvin G. Payne
We demonstrate an optically controlled Kerr phase shifter using a room-temperature Rb85 vapor operating in a Raman gain scheme. Phase shifts from zero to 𝜋 relative to an unshifted reference wave are observed, and gated operations are demonstrated. We

Fast, All-Optical, Zero to PI Continuously Controllable Kerr Phase Gate

March 13, 2013
Author(s)
Runbing Li, Lu Deng, Edward W. Hagley
We demonstrate a fast-responding Kerr phase gate using a room-temperature 85Rb vapor operated in a Raman gain scheme where the probe/signal wave travels “superluminally”. Continuously controllable nonlinear Kerr phase shift of the probe wave from 0 to π

Effect of atomic coherence on "temporal cloaking" in atomic vapors

February 27, 2013
Author(s)
Runbing Li, Lu Deng, Edward W. Hagley, Joshua C. Bienfang, M G. Payne, Mo-Lin Ge
We discuss a different scheme to achieve temporal cloaking in warm atomic vapors. Instead of creating a temporal-spatial window in a patched broadband short optical pulse using static differential dispersion of an optical fiber, we create a temporal

SURF III: A flexible Synchrotron Radiation Source for Radiometry and Research

September 1, 2011
Author(s)
Uwe Arp, Charles W. Clark, Lu Deng, Nadir S. Faradzhev, Alex P. Farrell, Mitchell L. Furst, Steven E. Grantham, Edward W. Hagley, Shannon B. Hill, Thomas B. Lucatorto, Ping-Shine Shaw, Charles S. Tarrio, Robert E. Vest
The calculability of synchrotron radiation (SR) makes electron storage rings wonderful light sources for radiometry. The broadband nature of SR allows coverage of the whole spectral region from the x-ray to the far-infrared. Compact low-energy storage

Observation of Collective Atomic Recoil Motion in a Degenerate Fermion Gas

May 23, 2011
Author(s)
Lu Deng, Edward W. Hagley
We demonstrate collective atomic recoil motion with a dilute, ultracold, degenerate fermion gas in a single spin state. By utilizing an adiabatically decompressed magnetic trap with an aspect ratio different from that of the initial trap, a momentum

Observation of the red-blue detuning asymmetry in matter-wave superradiance

November 23, 2010
Author(s)
Lu Deng, Edward W. Hagley, Qiang Cao, Xiaorui Wang, Xinyu Luo, Ruquan Wang, Fan Yang, Xiaoji Zhou, Xuzong Chen, M. G. Payne, Mingsheng Zhan
We show the first experimental observations of matter-wave superradiance using blue-detuned light, and demonstrate a pump-laser detuning asymmetry in the collective atomic recoil motion. In contrast to all previous theoretical treatments, which predict

Collective atomic recoil motion in short-pulse matter-wave superradiance

November 11, 2010
Author(s)
Lu Deng, Edward W. Hagley
We show that a Bragg resonance is substantially incapacitated in short-pulse, matter-wave superradiant scatterings and both positive- and negative-order scatterings contribute equally.We further show that propagation gain is small and scattering events

A Green Laser Pointer Hazard

August 2, 2010
Author(s)
Jemellie Galang, Alessandro Restelli, Edward W. Hagley, Charles W. Clark
An inexpensive green laser pointer was found to emit 20 mW of infrared radiation during normal use. This is potentially a serious hazard that would not be noticed by most users of such pointers. We find that the problem derives from an unsafe design, and

Electromagnetic Wave Dynamics in Matter-Wave Superradiant Scattering

February 2, 2010
Author(s)
Lu Deng, Edward W. Hagley, Marvin Payne
We present a small-signal wave propagation theory on matter-wave superradiant scattering. We show, in a longitudinally excited condensate, that the backward-propagating, superradiantly generated optical field propagates with ultraslow group velocity and

Matter-wave self-imaging by atomic center-of-mass motion induced interference

December 18, 2008
Author(s)
Ke Li, Lu Deng, Edward W. Hagley, M.S. Zhan, Marvin G. Payne
We demonstrate matter-wave self-imaging in a stationary light field in the non-Raman-Nath limit. We show that in a non-instantaneous pulsed standing wave grating significant contributions due to the non-negligible atomic center of mass motion and

Fast-responding nonlinear phase shifter using a signal-wave gain medium

April 22, 2008
Author(s)
Lu Deng, Edward W. Hagley, Kaijun Jiang, Marvin G. Payne
Using a full density matrix formalism we show that for a lifetime broadened four-level scheme with a signal wave gain medium a large nonlinear phase shift can be induced without signal wave slowdown and attenuation. In this system the signal wave acquires
