In this review we discuss the works in the area of quantum simulation and many-body
physics with light, from the early proposals on equilibrium models to the more recent works …

Some optomechanical systems can be transparent to a probe field when a strong driving
field is applied. These systems can provide an optomechanical analog of …

Induced transparency, an interference effect due to mode coupling, has attracted significant
research interest. The first discovered and most striking type of induced transparency plays …

We study the effect of orbital angular momentum transfer between optical fields in a
semiconductor quantum well waveguide with four energy levels in a closed-loop …

We propose a scheme to exchange optical vortices of slow light using the phenomenon of
electromagnetically induced transparency in a four-level double-Λ atom-light coupling …

We propose a procedure to achieve a complete energy conversion between laser pulses
carrying orbital angular momentum (OAM) in a cloud of cold atoms characterized by a …

We study the creation of stationary light pulses (SLPs), ie, light pulses without motion, based
on the effect of electromagnetically induced transparency with two counterpropagating …

We study the manipulation of slow light with an orbital angular momentum propagating in a
cloud of cold atoms. Atoms are affected by four co-propagating control laser beams in a …

We propose a simple system for both optical switching and bistability based on degenerated
two-level atoms placed in a ring cavity and an external magnetic field. The magnetic field …

Polariton formalism is applied for studying the propagation of a probe field of light in a cloud
of cold atoms influenced by two control laser beams of larger intensity. The laser beams …
