Subradiance in a large cloud of cold atoms

W Guerin, MO Araújo, R Kaiser - Physical review letters, 2016 - APS
Since Dicke's seminal paper on coherence in spontaneous radiation by atomic ensembles,
superradiance has been extensively studied. Subradiance, on the contrary, has remained …

G Ferioli, A Glicenstein, L Henriet, I Ferrier-Barbut… - Physical Review X, 2021 - APS
We report the observation of subradiance in dense ensembles of cold Rb 87 atoms
operating near Dicke's regime of a large number of atoms in a volume with dimensions …

Superradiance in a large and dilute cloud of cold atoms in the linear-optics regime

MO Araújo, I Krešić, R Kaiser, W Guerin - Physical review letters, 2016 - APS
Superradiance has been extensively studied in the 1970s and 1980s in the regime of
superfluorescence, where a large number of atoms are initially excited. Cooperative …

Mesoscopic coherence in light scattering from cold, optically dense and disordered atomic systems

DV Kupriyanov, IM Sokolov, MD Havey - Physics Reports, 2017 - Elsevier
Coherent effects manifested in light scattering from cold, optically dense and disordered
atomic systems are reviewed from a primarily theoretical point of view. Development of the …

Coherent backscattering and Anderson localization of light

CM Aegerter, G Maret - Progress in Optics, 2009 - Elsevier
In this review we discuss localization of waves by multiple scattering. In the weak case, also
known as coherent backscattering, there is a twofold enhancement of the reflected intensity …

Light interacting with atomic ensembles: collective, cooperative and mesoscopic effects

W Guerin, MT Rouabah, R Kaiser - Journal of Modern Optics, 2017 - Taylor & Francis
Cooperative scattering has been the subject of intense research in the last years. In this
article, we discuss the concept of cooperative scattering from a broad perspective. We briefly …
