Journal Article
Mohapatra, A., Bason, M., Butscher, B., Weatherill, K., & Adams, C. (2008). A giant electro-optic effect using polarizable dark states. Nature Physics, 4(11), 890-894. https://doi.org/10.1038/nphys1091

The electro-optic effect, where the refractive index of a medium is modified by an electric field, is of central importance in nonlinear optics, laser technology, quantum optics and optical communications. In general, electro-optic coefficients are v... Read More about A giant electro-optic effect using polarizable dark states.

Electro-optic control of atom-light interactions using Rydberg dark-state polaritons (2008)
Journal Article
Bason, M., Mohapatra, A., Weatherill, K., & Adams, C. (2008). Electro-optic control of atom-light interactions using Rydberg dark-state polaritons. Physical Review A, 77(3), https://doi.org/10.1103/physreva.77.032305

We demonstrate a multiphoton Rydberg dark resonance where a Λ system is coupled to a Rydberg state. This N-type level scheme combines the ability to slow and store light pulses associated with long-lived ground-state superpositions with the strongly...

Electromagnetically induced transparency of an interacting cold Rydberg ensemble (2008)
Journal Article
Weatherill, K., Pritchard, J., Abel, R., Bason, M., Mohapatra, A., & Adams, C. (2008). Electromagnetically induced transparency of an interacting cold Rydberg ensemble. Journal of Physics B: Atomic, Molecular and Optical Physics, 41(20), Article 201002. https://doi.org/10.1088/0953-4075/41/20/201002

We study electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) of a weakly interacting cold Rydberg gas. We show that for Rydberg states with principal quantum numbers in the range n = 19–26, the onset of interactions is manifest as a depopulation of the Ry...
