IET Optoelectronics, 2021 The stability of the central wavelength of the erbium‐doped fibre source (EDFS) is one of the most important parameters to ensure the accurate operation of navigation systems based on high‐accuracy fibre optic gyroscopes (FOGs).

Stopping Light All Optically [PDF]
Physical Review Letters, 2004 We show that light pulses can be stopped and stored all-optically, with a process that involves an adiabatic and reversible pulse bandwidth compression occurring entirely in the optical domain. Such a process overcomes the fundamental bandwidth-delay constraint in optics, and can generate arbitrarily small group velocities for light pulses with a given

Opto-optical light deflection [PDF]
Applied Optics, 1983 Light deflection is accomplished by diffraction from a transient index modulation established as a grating of variable frequency in an optical material by the interference of two controlling light beams. This device may be considered an opto-optical analog to an acoustooptical deflector, in that a change in angular deflection is created by altering the

The phase shift induced by a single atom in free space [PDF]
Journal of the European Optical Society-Rapid Publications, 2013 In this article we theoretically study the phase shift a single atom imprints onto a coherent state light beam in free space. The calculations are performed in a semiclassical framework.

Nanostructures + Light = ‘New Optics’ [PDF]
Journal of Optics A: Pure and Applied Optics, 2005 Suddenly, at the end of the last century, classical optics and classical electrodynamics became fashionable again. Fields that several generations of researchers thought were comprehensively covered by the famous Born and Wolf textbook and were essentially dead as research subjects were generating new excitement.

Optical frequency averaging of light
Optics Express, 2023 The use of averaging has long been known to reduce noise in statistically independent systems that exhibit similar levels of stochastic fluctuation. This concept of averaging is general and applies to a wide variety of physical and man-made phenomena such as particle motion, shot noise, atomic clock stability, measurement uncertainty reduction, and ...

Squeezed-Light Optical Magnetometry [PDF]
Physical Review Letters, 2010 We demonstrate a light-shot-noise-limited magnetometer based on the Faraday effect in a hot unpolarized ensemble of rubidium atoms. By using off-resonant, polarization-squeezed probe light, we improve the sensitivity of the magnetometer by 3.2 dB. The technique could improve the sensitivity of the most advanced magnetometers and quantum nondemolition ...
