ScholarBank@NUS Repository. https://doi.org/10.1080/09500340.2010.522780 | Abstract: | We consider the near-resonant interaction between a single atom and a focused light mode, where the single atom localized at the focus of a lens can scatter a significant fraction of light. Complementary to previous experiments on extinction and phase shift effects of a single atom, here we report on the measurement of coherently backscattered light. The strength of the observed effect suggests combining strong focusing with a cavity to further enhance the field at the location of the atom. This could make scaling up to a network of several atom + cavity nodes more realistic due to significant technical simplification of the atom-light interface. We consider theoretically a nearly concentric cavity, which has a strongly focused optical mode. Simple estimates show that in such a case one can expect a significant single photon Rabi frequency. © 2011 Taylor & Francis. | Source Title: | Journal of Modern Optics | URI: | http://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/115154 | ISSN: | 09500340 | DOI: | 10.1080/09500340.2010.522780 |
