Generation of nonlinear vortex precursors

YY Chen, XL Feng, C Liu - Physical Review Letters, 2016 - APS
We numerically study the propagation of a few-cycle pulse carrying orbital angular
momentum (OAM) through a dense atomic system. Nonlinear precursors consisting of high …

Observation of optical precursors at the biphoton level

S Du, C Belthangady, P Kolchin, GY Yin, SE Harris - Optics letters, 2008 - opg.optica.org
We describe the observation of a sharp leading-edge spike in a biphoton wave packet that is
produced using slow light and measured by two-photon correlation. Using the stationary …

Optical precursors with tunneling-induced transparency in asymmetric quantum wells

Y Peng, Y Niu, Y Qi, H Yao, S Gong - Physical Review A—Atomic, Molecular …, 2011 - APS
A scheme for separating optical precursors from a square-modulated laser pulse through an
asymmetric double Al x Ga 1-x As/GaAs quantum-well structure via resonant tunneling is …

Optical coherent transients in cold atoms: From free-induction decay to optical precursors

JF Chen, S Wang, D Wei, MMT Loy, GKL Wong… - Physical Review A …, 2010 - APS
We report theoretical and experimental studies of the propagation of a square-modulated
laser pulse through a laser-cooled atomic ensemble of two-level absorbers, as well as …

Slow-light-induced interference with stacked optical precursors for square input pulses

H Jeong, S Du - Optics letters, 2010 - opg.optica.org
We theoretically study the stacked optical transients generated from a series of square
pulses passing through a cold atomic ensemble. Using the hybrid analysis and fast Fourier …

Optical precursor with four-wave mixing and storage based on a cold-atom ensemble

DS Ding, YK Jiang, W Zhang, ZY Zhou, BS Shi… - Physical review …, 2015 - APS
We observed optical precursors in four-wave mixing based on a cold-atom gas. Optical
precursors appear at the edges of pulses of the generated optical field, and propagate …

Evolution of Sommerfeld and Brillouin precursors in intermediate spectral regimes

H Jeong, UL Österberg, T Hansson - JOSA B, 2009 - opg.optica.org
We study, numerically, the transitional behavior of precursors in the intermediate spectral
regime between two contrasting regimes for which analytical solutions exist. The two …

Carrier-frequency dependence of a step-modulated pulse propagating through a weakly dispersive single narrow-resonance absorber

H Jeong, AMC Dawes, DJ Gauthier - Journal of Modern Optics, 2011 - Taylor & Francis
We observe interference between the optical precursors and the main signal for small
optical depth α0 L∼ 1, in which the main signal cannot be entirely absorbed. Since the main …

Frequency tunable superflash based on an electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT)

A Rahman, CW Lee, H Jeong - Optics Express, 2022 - opg.optica.org
We present a new controllable superflash, a maximum transient peak at the falling edge of a
square pulse, using a three-level electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT). The …

Optical precursors in a weakly dispersive double narrow-resonance dielectric

H Jeong, CW Lee, AMC Dawes, DJ Gauthier - JOSA B, 2019 - opg.optica.org
We investigate optical precursors transmitted through a double-Lorentz dielectric consisting
of two adjacent narrow resonances. Compared to the patterns in a single-Lorentz dielectric …
