We use a single 133Cs atom strongly coupled to an optical resonator to induce random binary phase modulation of a near infra-red, ∼ 500 pW laser beam, with each modulation edge caused by the dissipation of a single photon (≈ 0.23 aJ) by the atom. While our ability to deterministically induce phase edges with an additional optical control beam is limited thus far, theoretical analysis of an analogous, solid-state system indicates that efficient external control should be achievable in demonstrated nanophotonic systems.
我们使用一个与光学谐振器强耦合的单个¹³³Cs原子,来诱导近红外、约500 pW激光束的随机二进制相位调制,每个调制边缘是由原子对单个光子(≈ 0.23 aJ)的耗散引起的。虽然到目前为止,我们通过额外的光学控制光束确定性地诱导相位边缘的能力有限,但对类似固态系统的理论分析表明,在已证明的纳米光子系统中应该可以实现有效的外部控制。
