Journal Article
Bettles, R. J., Gardiner, S. A., & Adams, C. S. (2016). Cooperative eigenmodes and scattering in one-dimensional atomic arrays. Physical Review A, 94(4), Article 043844. https://doi.org/10.1103/physreva.94.043844

Collective coupling between dipoles can dramatically modify the optical response of a medium. Such effects depend strongly on the geometry of the medium and the polarization of the light. Using a classical coupled dipole model, here we investigate th... Read More about Cooperative eigenmodes and scattering in one-dimensional atomic arrays.

By mapping the strong interaction between Rydberg excitations in ultra-cold atomic ensembles onto single photons via electromagnetically induced transparency, it is now possible to realize a medium which exhibits a strong optical nonlinearity at the...

Enhanced optical cross section via collective coupling of atomic dipoles in a 2D array (2016)
Journal Article
Bettles, R. J., Gardiner, S. A., & Adams, C. S. (2016). Enhanced optical cross section via collective coupling of atomic dipoles in a 2D array. Physical Review Letters, 116(10), Article 103602. https://doi.org/10.1103/physrevlett.116.103602

Enhancing the optical cross section is an enticing goal in light-matter interactions, due to its fundamental role in quantum and nonlinear optics. Here, we show how dipolar interactions can suppress off-axis scattering in a two-dimensional atomic arr...
