摘要:

我们展示了由单个原子控制的两个光纤之间的光信号的高效切换。实验的关键元件是一个回音壁模瓶形微谐振器,它与单个原子耦合,并通过两个锥形光纤耦合器连接。即使在存在耦合光纤的情况下,原子-谐振腔系统也达到腔量子电动力学(CQED)的强耦合区,导致激发光谱中的真空拉比分裂。我们系统地研究了我们系统的开关效率,即,CQED光纤开关将光重定向到期望输出的概率。我们获得了一个大的重定向效率达到一个原始保真度超过60%,没有后选择。

英文摘要:

We demonstrate highly efficient switching of optical signals between two optical fibers controlled by a single atom. The key element of our experiment is a whispering-gallery mode bottle microresonator, which is coupled to a single atom and interfaced by two tapered fiber couplers. Even in the presence of the coupling fibers, the atom--resonator system reaches the strong coupling regime of cavity quantum electrodynamics (CQED), leading to a vacuum Rabi splitting in the excitation spectrum. We systematically investigate the switching efficiency of our system, i.e., the probability that the CQED fiber-optical switch redirects the light into the desired output. We obtain a large redirection efficiency reaching a raw fidelity of more than 60% without post-selection.
